Be happy for the $42 gift that someone gave you.
I mean, its not like the store took $8 out of *you're* pocket. It was you're friend who got hit. Now, I see that as a choice that person/company made when deciding to give you a gift certificate instead of cash.
Frankly, if I am very short on time to get a gift and resort to getting the certificate, then I don't mind paying the $8 bucks for the convenience. And frankly, I'll never even know the difference.
Just another perspective.
