Hello friends! A little curious about smth, so maybe you can help me.

Oftentimes, when small things go wrong with orders or frustrating shit happens, we issue gift cards for $5-10 as an apology or a 'well, this isn't anybody's fault per se, but it kinda sucks, so here, have this and feel better about it' kind of gesture, which is a common thing for companies, right? But I'm wondering: if you were a customer, would you rather get a gift certificate with a fixed amount, or would you rather get a discount code that could potentially amount to a larger amount saved?

I realized that an 18% discount code, for example, becomes more money than a $5 gift card at just under $28 -- so you'd be better off with the discount code if you're buying a t-shirt or more -- and more than a $10 gift card at just under $56, so you'd be better off if you wanted to, say, buy a dress or a pair of shoes.

But this is also a mental thing, too, so, assuming we're talking about small-to-medium things that went wrong with an order -- it took longer than expected because we had to buy more materials, something got held up at customs and it didn't make it by somebody's birthday, the print partner printed your item wrong and you got a replacement for the wrong item...

I'm only putting those 2 options because I really do want to see just those two things, thank youuuuu. :)

In the future, children will think our ways are strange. "Why do old people always grow so much milkweed in their gardens?" they'll say. "Why do old people always write down when the first bees and butterflies show up? Why do old people hate lawn grass so much? Why do old people like to sit outside and watch bees?"

We will try to explain to them that when we were young, most people's yards were almost entirely short grass with barely any flowers at all, and it was so commonplace to spray poisons to kill insects and weeds that it was feared monarch butterflies and American bumblebees would soon go extinct. We will show them pictures of sidewalks, shops, and houses surrounded by empty grass without any flowers or vegetables and they will stare at them like we stared at pictures of grimy children working in coal mines
