This gift certificate for Ikea from Mom, which didn’t have a date on it, was so old that after the cashier said, “you don’t see these around much any more…” had to call a fellow manager over to even see how to input it. I have no idea when I got it, but after umpteen visits to the place with it safely ensconced at my desk…it finally got used.
