Retail Stores Are Getting On My Freaking Nerves!!!!!!!

Is it freaking possible to walk into any retail store and buy an item without needing some sort of bullshit card....It's getting where every drug store, grocery store, lumber yard, gas station, and department store I walk into wants to scan a freaking card before I can even give them my cash......Are you guys and gals carrying around a pocket full of BONUS club cards?.........RANT OVER......SOAP BOX PUT AWAY!!!!!

most stores track the scan rate for employees... if they don't scan enough cards they get bitched at

it's retarded...

kmart is the most annoying with it though. I used to work there, and if they don't have a rewards card, we HAVE to ask you to sign up for one. Then before you can swipe your card to pay, you have to answer some random survey question.

However,if you're stupid enough to sign up for a rewards card, you're rewarded with 1% of every dollar you spend loaded on your card in points. Your check out process will also be longer because the cashier has to ask you 2-3 more questions about if you want to use your points and if you want a email receipt. Btw, if you get the email receipt, kmart literally spams your account with 4-10 emails per transaction. It's ridiculous.

At our work, I know they track your purchases. They track how frequent you shop, how much you spend, what you buy the most, whether you use coupons or not, what time of the day you are most likely to shop, among a myriad of other things. It's just another way for big business to legally track you while offering you "sale" prices. The biggest racket of all time.

I was going to make a witty reply to this thread, but I forgot my caraudio.com loyalty card.
