ealovan tells us more.
op here. it's always cool when your FML gets posted because in a weird way it makes the situation a little bit better lol. just some clarification, i started this job a little over a month ago and when i went to the orientation, they gave us $15 dollar gift cards. it was after a 9 hour shift when this sweet old man asked for some change. i remembered i had this gift card in my wallet for a month now and figured he would benefit from it more than i would. i was tired and it was dark outside, but i should have payed more attention. once i realized this mistake i quickly went back to my work, and luckily he was still there. he was very sweet and figured i handed him the wrong card, i gave him the right card and now everyones happy. i'm just glad it was him because god knows what any other person would have done with it.

OP Don't let this stop you from doing good deeds in the future. We all have a moment like this some are just worse than others.

Cancel! Cancel!
Maybe consider destroying the card so he can't use it

Call and cancel the card immediately
You could probably get it back if the guy always hangs around the same place. I'm sure he'd appreciate the gift card (:
That's assuming he wants to give it back. More likely he'll charge as much as he can to it before OP cancels it.

This is why I don't give anything but blood and sometimes canned goods at work. I once gave out McDonald's gift certificates. I don't do that anymore because you have to get gift cards, you can't get paper books. And some people who want drugs can't get their fix there, they want money. Better cancel the card and check for fraudulent charges!
I hope you were stoned or something because that is a big mistake to make.
Dear OP, Actually *look* at the things you give people before you hand them over. Great deed, but ... yeah. I had to click YDI for that reason and that reason alone.
Not too bad.. Just cancel your card. At least you were nice enough to give him something.

We all are a little air-headed at times, but that's a bit much.
That's awesome that you were able to get that worked out and that he was honest enough to realize the mistake and not take advantage of it. l Definitely restores some faith in humanity for me. :)
