If it's a tech that does a good job and saves your butt, I would give a bit more than that. Maybe like $40.

Two thumbs up! Remembering the technicians that work their tails off to make our lives easier, is very cool and somehow forgotten by most pharmacists. I think $15 is nice, $20 is better. Also, I would get the gift cards to the .99 cent store. I can't wait to have a store and techs I work with on a regular basis again.

Maybe not the 99 cents store, it may come across as saying that they are poor, remember that techs get paid sometimes 1/4th that you do, so while there was no ill will, it can be perceived that way. If you do retail, a GC at the store you work at would be fine, but go at least $20, ya cheap bastard.

I usually give a $20 gift card plus something small like candy. I wanted to get away from giving gift cards this year, but it just seems like the best gift idea for a group of people.

Dang, I barely spend $100 on a family member, never mind a coworker. Must be nice to be one of your techs.

I'm giving out about 1 day's pay worth of gift cards to my staffs. Got in on a good deal to buy giftcards for 80 cents on the dollar.

Is that 1 day an 8 hour or a 14? Significant difference.
8 hrs. But since i'm salaried and get off early the day before holidays anyway...

gross or net? What gift card and where maybe I should buy some on the cheap LOL
Net, they an get the rest from uncle Sam. 🙂
I used my Chase reward points, which allows me to get Lands End (part of Sears) gift card at 20% off, which I then used to buy a bunch of more popular gift cards, eg. amazon, itune, at sears.
Or if you don't have chase, you can get up early to cash in 20% here:

luls I have 12 techs. No way. $1200, 4 days worth of work. I'd buy myself a nice ass TV instead... or 20 PS4 games LOL
Can't take credit for it as I read it in a deals forum. This year is my first and had no problem but YMMV.
Here's a thread that you might read up on: some of these hardcore bargain seekers really go to great length to maximize rewards. LOL.
