The gift cards would be better behind the cashier's counter

Cashier/employee could be the one doing this as well. Can't trust anyone. STOP buying gift cards.

Best way to avoid gift card scams is to NOT buy gift cards.

Just don't get gift cards anymore because you can't avoid the ones opening them in the store to take pictures of the numbers.

1:07 - "I thought I'd do my own investigation" (about to explain how it works) News anchor interrupts: "How does it work?" ...give her a moment, she's about to explain.

No way. That chick wouldn't get to the point and the interviewer had to move the interview along. Isn't TikTok a shortform platform? How does she condense her info when she babbles on and on.

I'm glad the TV anchor moved this interview along. The ex-cop was too 'wordy' and not getting to the point of the story. TV Anchor started asking her direct questions to stop the lady from just blubbering on and on.
