Reward Club Cards

It seems everywhere you go... Everywhere you shop..... Everywhere you buy anything, there is a reward club card.

Sometimes you have to even buy them (Barnes and Noble)

Sometimes you have to have them to get the best prices (Safeway)

Sometimes your childs school supposedly gets some sort of cash reward instead of you (Raleys Bel-Air)

Sometimes you have to use them to get discount coupons that you never receive (Nugget, Staples)

This was one reason that I quit shopping at Safeway (besides the idiot manager and the rotten meat incident at the West Sacramento Safeway) And My Grandfather even retired as a produce manager from Safeway after 30 something years.

Either way, what an irritant... They use them to track your purchases and see what your buying habits are.

It seems like you have to walk around with a card from every vendor there is. If you had them all, you would have a bunch of them and have a george costanza wallet..... full of reward club cards.
