LOL minimus... not ranting about you this time
Why Georgia... I don't participate in the grocery store card thing... Usually the cashier puts in a card for me and I get the discount anyway....at least 95% of the time.
This rant was because of Marshalls...but I've also had it happen at TJMAXX... and Frugal Fannie's. I don't mind giving my zip code...that's just demographics... what towns they should send fliers out to.... also they can plan where to put new stores. It's my personal info that I won't give out. Why bother to have an unlisted phone number...and then give it out to people who will use it for telemarketing purposes....sheesh!

I was shopping at Robinson's May the other day and was stunned when the cashier asked a customer, who had written a check, for her birthdate!! The older woman rattled it off as the girl writes it down on the check. I asked the cashier why and how they could ask such a thing? She gave some lame reasoning about check writers and it's just their store policy. That was a new one to me. Stepping to another register, I asked another cashier and she insisted it was part of their training and they need to ask. Seems to me like it would be illegal in this day of ID theft to get that personal.

this is why i hate using kroger card.. you get a discount but they have every purchase you make in a database..
luckily, i found my kroger card in the parking lot..so someone else has my tampon and toilet paper purchases under their name lol.
