19. I am against Shopper ID cards ...

but the rest of us already do this and we pay a yearly fee for the privilege.

I shop at CostCo.
I have to show my membership card before I can enter the store or use the gas pump.
Then when I'm checking out, I have to surrender my membership card to the cashier.

This is the only place where I'll do this.
I will not sign up for memberships at Von's (insert your grocery store here) or
CVS (insert your drugstore here) or Autozone (insert your auto parts store here)
or any other place requesting membership, because all they are doing is collecting
information about our shopping habits.

Think I'm kidding? Check out the back of the receipt after shopping at the grocery
store, and find out why you're being offered a coupon to purchase Coke, when you
just purchased Pepsi.
