Get your friends to do the same.
Then, a few months later when you think about it, put all of your cards in a hat and swap them. It messes with the purchase tracking (since the bacon lovers with two dogs and no kids probably buy entirely different groceries than the vegans with toddlers and birds).
My choices on grocery stores are the union shops that use cards or the anti-union, anti-health care weirdness that is Whole Foods or a non-union-but-treats-workers-okay-and-has-great-produce-but-limited-non-produce. If I eliminated the union shops with cards, groceries would become a much more arduous task than they currently are.
