(No I don't remember the number.) At some of the other larger grocery stores, other people get credit for my rare purchases there because I have picked up a few of those keychain mini cards that people have dropped. Hehe.<br /><br />I hate this trend, and even once with Walmart or Target on an Internet sale cancelled it out because they were asking for too much personal info. I even went to ask for a source of a particular Dial product, but they wanted everything but my birthplace before I could ask a question. I became Fictitious Fictitious at Mailinator.com, then gave them an earfull about the invasion of privacy. They never sent me a response for some reason.<br /><br />I live in a very small town, and shop local with people who are my friends for the most part.<br /><br />I am sure with you!<br /><br />SerendipityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-8685135700261022962012-03-19T13:46:44.403-04:002012-03-19T13:46:44.403-04:00I am extremely pleasant to almost all sales people...I am extremely pleasant to almost all sales people, but if they are persistent, I will call a manager and I will not be pleasant.<br />I often see "must not have difficulties promoting credit cards" in help wanted ads.<br />I won't use cards and a lot of people will not accept checks anymore.<br />It's getting pretty silly.grinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916101406698502578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-90675632868342446612012-03-19T13:41:27.984-04:002012-03-19T13:41:27.984-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.grinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03916101406698502578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-36183471410441716282012-03-19T10:46:22.858-04:002012-03-19T10:46:22.858-04:00cashless society is coming.

Our bank sent a letter saying we would be issued a new debit card and PIN because of this event. <br />Nothing bad happened. <br />That I am aware of.<br /><br />Out!out! damn scout! LOL<br /><br />Uri,<br />yep I have come to this conclusion. We returned to using cash a couple of years ago in our commitment to have no credit card debt and no credit card trail. Now instead of cash, I will use those pre-paid debit cards to still receive the "cash" price for things like fuel.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-22844098906157010012012-03-16T11:48:34.321-04:002012-03-16T11:48:34.321-04:00purchase generic preloaded debit cards with cash. ...purchase generic preloaded debit cards with cash.

With the stuff I buy for boy scouts, I may be outed as a pedophile. bwahahahaha<br /><br />I have not experienced the hard-sell tactics that you have. I use frequent shopper cards at a few stores because The Mrs loves her coupons. Most other places where I do not might ask for a zip code. Phone numbers, I tell them they don't need them and that's the end of that.Buzz Killhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01443964019621130222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-18290845254909516202012-03-16T08:50:03.802-04:002012-03-16T08:50:03.802-04:00Jean,

I even look friendly and approachable. Perhaps this annoys the cashiers when I surprise them with my polite, friendly declines? Clearly I need to attend TrollCamp.<br /><br />Boxer,<br />"fleeced" is a great description!<br />Once the facial recognition POS systems are activated we will no longer be asked for our participation or our data, it will be taken from us.<br /><br />Pam,<br />What terrifies me is the generation coming along who thinks this is great. Those whose "reality" is based on technology access as the norm. <br />Last week a client purchased an accessory in a furniture store. It was not possible for the store to accept his credit card, ring up the sale and let us be on our way. The software for this store cannot process a sale without the purchaser's address, phone and<br />e-mail. <br /><br />I have been to business seminars where this is referred to as <br />"the capture". I call it something else!fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-20106619822454123982012-03-16T00:30:19.952-04:002012-03-16T00:30:19.952-04:00Oh Fishy, this is a fantastic post.

I always say that I never give out my phone number and I usually make up a zip code if needed. But it didn't occur to me that they are keeping my credit card info. Of course they are! Hmmmm. Plus if you use their coupons, I bet that ads fuel to the fire. Oh, so much food for thought, I could explode.pamhttp://www.pamokc.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-18174529084746993352012-03-16T00:02:50.172-04:002012-03-16T00:02:50.172-04:00I go to OffcMax once a week.
