Gawd I am SICK of every store I buy something from trying to push a f***ing CARD on me - not just credit cards but discount cards and other "incentive" cards. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

5. it's just so freaking annoying, mike
it started off with those stupid grocery store cards which are nothing but a scam (I honestly do NOT see savings with them). Now every place seems to ask if I want one of their f***ing cards. *GRRRRR*

6. Those grocery store cards allow them to track your purchasing
habits. They are a marketing research tool.

8. That's why I refuse to submit to using them
I'd rather die than let Randall's know about my love for their sourdough rolls!

11. Use a fake name and address
Nunya Business
123 Fake Ave
Nowhere, WI 12345

and for the phone number something like:

(253) 123-4567

No one cares. Really.

9. I got a BevMo card, but I gave bogus info
Don't let the marketeers cross-correlate. Give them 555-1212 as the phone number.

10. when they ask if I have my card I say:
"If you want to give me a deal fine, give me a deal, if you don't, then don't."

I don't need my purchases tracked for a data warehouse run by some unix freak. Sometimes the clerk pulls out a card they have at the checkout and uses that. Maybe it is the card for people who act shitty when asked if they have a card?
