I'm sort of offended by this because I do actually think about gift cards when I give them. I deeply consider the value and likelihood that the recipient will patronize the business and appreciate the card. If I do not know their preferences, then I will instead obtain a Visa gift card that spends anywhere, like cash.

I don't think it's a crime to give a gas-station card to someone who drives a lot, or a popular restaurant to someone who enjoys eating out, or a Google Play card to someone who owns an Android phone.
