What is with stores these days and their silly little cards, special promotional offers, discount cards, etc. Yeah, all you have to do is pay money or ten percent of the cost of the products you are buying and you can be a special member. What a screw job. First off, these companies make their already overworked and underpayed staff whore themselves for these stupid things. It takes up a lot of time. If you shop a lot during the holidays get prepared to piss away a few hours of your life when every single customer has to go "No thanks, I just want to buy these." Not only that you have to pay money to be a member and you have to shop at a certain place to get any real money off it. Not to mention the hassles . This ishe sweetest racket in all of the reatil biz. Not only do the companies make money on the products the discounts entice people to shop more at the store even though it will take them many purchase to recoup start-up and continuing costs. Also, free info on the schmuck who took the card! While we're at it, gift cards suck. If you're going to be that lazy just give me the friggin' money already. Take that Shopko/Starbucks/Wal-Mart gift card and shove it!
