Last Christmas, my son in college gave me a gift of a spa pedicure. It just so happened we were traveling at the time, and unfortunately the gift certificate was misplaced. I spent months looking for it when we returned, and never found it. We located the charge on his bank statement for that month and asked Salon Dante if they would honor that as proof of purchase. The answer was "no". In this day and age, for the life of me, I can't understand why there can't be a better tracking system for situations such as this one. A simple computer spreadsheet, perhaps? I have been a client of this spa in the past, but needless to say, I will be moving on to another. $50 is a hefty "donation" for a college student.
