    The same goes for customer loyalty cards. All market tracking schemes should be rightfully banned.

      What ticks my off is that I have the stupid Safeway card and the stupid Kroger card. But now there’s more deals, better deals if I do a digital coupon requiring the app on my phone, too. It’s not enough to know about all the regular items in my home, from celery to toilet paper, but they also must need to hoover up all my digital into as well? Dude, just buy it from Meta or whichever jerks have it all. Half-price grapes ain’t the right price.

        Yeah multiple layers of s***; I’ll be honest I never figured out how to use the digital coupons for the second layer of discount; seems like it’s not in the Kroger app but some other scammy telemetry scamming 3rs party. I paid the $2.99 for the ice cream I stead of 1.99

      At least you can not only ask other customers for their cards, but also sometimes be offered theirs without even asking.

        Man, I hate when people like you come out with “justifications” like these.

        No. They should be banned. Trying to “justify” their existence with “well umm, sometimes you can just talk to other customers for theirs!” is fucking stupid.

        Why are we so eager to do the work of our oppressors for them?

          I don’t see a “justification” in my reply. I cannot change or influence the system, I need the discounts - so I do that.
