when the economy was slightly less advanced and the vast majority of consumer transactions were done through locally owned businesses, smart business-owners kept track of who bought what and when, usually in a ledger or something. it was just good business, and it still is. but now stores (like, individual stores, let alone the fact that many are managed at regional, national, international, and global scales now) are so big that management is not able to personally keep track of every individual customer or purchase, so they use computers to do it. what's wrong with that? or do you always object to this, regardless of how it is done? if a local restaurant starts to remember your "usual" do you get indignant and take your business elsewhere?

:coolfish: Your total is 65.70, can I get a phone number.

:btroll: Why, you don't need that I don't need people calling me.

:coolfish: Okay no problem.

:btroll: I think its wrong that you people think its okay to track me and what I buy thats none of your business.

:coolfish: No

*swipes credit card and everything about your entire family history gets uploaded into our systems*
*we laugh and share the information with all associates and steal your identity.*

Think you're smart paying with cash? We take a picture of your license plates and link it to your purchase. If you don't want to be tracked better start a garden.

My local grocery store has their gay little customer tracking card but gently caress that.
Now they won't let me use the self checkout lane without one. Basically telling my money is worthless and instituting their own currency but savings right?

Look at you, you want all the convenience and savings without nothing in return. Move to Russia you free loader. I would pay Wal-Mart to let me cut in front of all the welfare babies, I'll let them gently caress me in the rear end too if they let me spit in their faces.

So what if some regional manager knows you purchase steak on Tuesdays but splurge on frozen chicken strips the rest of the week?

They can't do jack poo poo with that information except stock more frozen chicken strips.

whatever fool lol if you think your poo poo isn't getting tracked anyway unless you're using 100% cash for everything

my local supermarket gives me 3% back on my purchases so that's fuckin' an easy $100-$200 every time they send the rebate out. they're locally owned and operated too so I don't need to worry about some megachain like Target or Safeway getting their poo poo jacked.

All the checkout clerks at local supermarket use their own card if you don't have one, stick it to the man!

So, not a good idea to go to the self checkout without a card as you pay more money and fill your own bags too.
