The "Shop Your Way" card program is apparently Lampert's big deal that he's trumpeting. It's less useful than most store loyalty cards and extremely confusing on the consumer end, too. It just feels scammy and creepy: http://www.shopyourway.com/

And I don't see how it's making them any money, really.

Sure, sales are down and the future is dim, but "Shop Your Way" is growing. If I were a shareholder, I'd be like, so what? How he stays in his position is beyond me.
