Perhaps but in the end it's the best for you AND the person receiving the gift.
As far the original post's question "So – what do you think of this?" Let's put it this way: is it ethical? Most certainly not. Do they have a right to do it? They sure do. It sucks, but it's their business, and a policy like that is perfectly within their rights. Personally I would have created an even bigger stink with the manager and insisted you get the person's bosses contact info. And when the manager told you that she couldn't leave because she had to help people if they had any problems, I would have responded that, in that case, it's her job to help ME by getting her bosses contact info and that if she didn't I would also report her for NOT helping me with my issues as well as addressing the issue itself with her boss.
Sometimes if you make a big deal about it, they'll just give in. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten to pay by check to the pizza delivery people who kept trying to tell me they wouldn't accept it until I had ordered from this address 10 times in the past. (Well, I guess I can tell you....10 times...cause now I can do it "within their policy."
