A $15 gift card to Dollarama. Whew.

It's absolutely insane to me that these things can be settled in gift cards.

I thought "company stores" were a thing of the past, but here we are...

Gift cards are just rebranded scrip

My local coffee shop recently gave me 15$ off just as a loyalty promo

How do you spend $15 on a coffee

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Most coffee shops sell bags of beans, or mugs, or baked goods.

Have you ever been to a store that sells a variety of products or allows you to purchase more than 1 item at a time?

[-] delirious_owl@discuss.online -1 points 8 months ago

Were not talking about a supermarket. Its a coffee shop. Where people buy coffee

Cool. Never heard of Tim Hortons eh?

And again, have you never bought a coffee for someone else? Can you literally not imagine someone else doing things that you don’t do?

Well the lawyers have to take 2 million of the settlement, leaving $15 gift cards for 30,000 Canadians

[-] girlfreddy@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

For Facebook Canada's Sponsored Stories ads (that swiped names and portraits) the settlement works out to just over $11 per person. Ofc the lawyers are getting just over 33%.

2 500 000$
