I care because I think those cards are useless. A sale price should be
a sale price, card or no card.

Some stores agree with you. You can use a card at Lucky if you wish,
prices don't change - but you accumulate gas points that way. We
don't use their affiliated gas brand, so I don't bother.

True but I carry two cards and they do give me good discounts. I don't
care if they are collecting information to sell to some list. Debit
cards and credit cards do the same thing....they sell your information
to anyone that wants to pay for it.

I'll guarantee you that health insurance companies are buying these
lists of the food you buy. Apply for new policy and I'll bet they look
at your food purchase history before offering you a rate.

The only way to stay incognito these days is to pay cash for
everything you buy. But then all the stores have cams and they could
see what you buy. heheh

Big Brother has arrived.

Big Brother has never left. I don't care if the stores I shop know
what groceries I buy... everytime I buy something on line they know...
everytime we use our computers, TVs, phones, pay utility bills, go to
a doctor, fill an Rx, use the library, register a vehicle, and engage
in dozens of other daily routine functions big brother knows all.
Using a stupidmarket card probably releases the least pertinent
personal information. Don't yoose realize that for at least 20 years
now all TV's run a wide angle video camera 24/7 whether your TV is on
or off... if you can see your TV it can see you... your cell phone can
see you and track you too, you only think your smart phone camera is
benign, it's always watching. And now automobiles know more about you
than you know about yourself, its GPS is always transmitting, it knows
what you order at the drive-thrus, it knows if you fart so it knows
what you ate.

Well you're wrong, with modern electronics we are all survielled 24/7.
Every time I bring a cat to the vet to get fixed they're chipped, all
my cats are chipped with a device the size of a grain or rice so they
can be located/tracked anywhere on this planet. All anyone need do is
have any medical procedure, with a dentist odds are along with that
crown a chip is implanted. Everytime a women goes to their OB-GYN for
an exam they are chipped, I can guarantee they are chipped... today
women are chipped better than they are dicked.

Land is never useless you imbecile... a hedge against US printed money
going worthless, which with expanding debt it assuredly will and a lot
sooner than yoose think... can keep printing paper money til it's
worth less than TP but land is finite. Good farm land is worth more
than gold, and having tractors to work it is worth more than platinum.
When the dollar becomes worthless you won't be able to use it to buy a
chicken and beans from me, I won't take your paper money, you'll need
to swap with pork and corn, of which you'll have none. Even a small
piece of land can feed a family, but how long will yoose suvrive
eating valuless paper dollars.

I don't think so. Not yet.

And of course TJ's offers no card, I've wondered why not, I guess
they're already doing so well without, they're just on another road
