This is equivalent to me buying gift certificates from McDonald's and then distributing them to hundreds. This in effect makes me a conveyor of McDonald's meals.
I do not get this. When you give/resell a McDonald's gift certificate, you aren't "conveying" the meal in any sense at all.
It is of course a conveyance of a McDonald's meal. It's has no value other than in exchange for a McDonald's meal. You can't take a McDonald's meal to Texaco and buy gas with it. You can't buy anything at WalMart with it. You can't cash it a a bank. It's only goo for McDonald's meals.
Considering where the U.S. Dollar seems to be heading, McDonald's Gift Certificates might be legal tender for gas or WalMart clothing at some point in the near future. After all, the U.S. Dollar isn't backed up by much anymore, whereas the McDonald's Gift Certificate is backed up by the Big Mac Standard.
