That's what i would do but I'm pretty paranoid these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917986 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 17:12:35 +0000 Mommy Finger 2917986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I feel better about it. Honestly, we forgot we had these! They were a Christmas gift from 2 years ago. And they do have a really nice patio as outdoor seating is a must for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917985 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 17:11:13 +0000 catgirl 2917985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's fine to use, just leave a very nice tip. Also, if the food/service is good leave a nice review for them. A good review right now is really helpful for restaurants and small stores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917980 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 16:32:58 +0000 Dahlia 2917980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do it and leave a generous tip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917977 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 15:36:07 +0000 bhbee 2917977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use them! I just used a gc for my hair stylist. I bought it from her when closed in March and I felt a little bad even so! But I bought a product I usually wouldn’t and tipped in cash. She said many times she was just so happy to be working. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917976 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 15:30:13 +0000 LadyDi 2917976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Treat yourself. I think you should use them. I like the idea of ordering big and tipping big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917975 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 14:53:58 +0000 meadow 2917975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might not be super for restaurant owner.....but you're helping keep individual servers/cooks employed by going out to eat..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/restaurant-gift-cards#post-2917974 Wed, 05 Aug 2020 13:58:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 2917974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Random question: what is your gut feeling on using gift cards at a restaurant right now? We have 2 $100 gift cards to a local restaurant and a rare childless night next week. </p> <p>One on hand, obviously restaurants are clearly struggling so it just seems wrong. However, I don't see us going to this restaurant without using these gift cards. It's just not one that we usually frequent. My thought was maybe using one of the gift cards, ordering big and tipping bigger b/c otherwise they wouldn't have our business at all. </p> <p>Either way, just curious what people's view are on this in general. </p>
