There is something very fishy about this story. Maybe the realtor is getting a kickback from the restaurant or something. I hate gift cards for precisely this reason. Did you tell the waiter that you didn’t know how much the gift card was worth? Maybe he stole the $85. I think you got scammed by someone, either because you got induced to spend money at a restaurant you otherwise wouldn’t have gone to or because the restaurant stole from you once you said you didn’t know how much the card was worth. But it is not worth trying to resolve it.
