[Mgs] Victoria British Gift Card charge

[Carl French]

Can anyone explain why when you order a gift certificate for someone YOU get
charged $8.00 (for a $50.00 card in this case).
 
Does anyone else do this?
 
Their attitude about it was;
 
"That's our policy."
"That's the way we have always done it."
 
Can anyone defend this?
 
Can anyone give me a reason to shop with them after this?
 
Sorry for venting here.
