I fucking hate rewards cards.
Sorry, that was pretty blunt. I don't like 'rewards' cards. The whole premise is stupid. It's like an eternal coupon that can track your purchasing habits. Why not lower all of the prices?
To get to the point, I went to the Pick 'n Save that's fairly close to my house. Usually you can get the rewards cards at the checkout, so that's what I assumed. My total bill was $180.41, and I asked to get a card. She said I had to go to customer service. I asked the lady if she could use here, and she said she couldn't give me the discount now, and that I could go to the service counter after the transaction. This also meant the couple of flyer coupons wouldn't work. Thankfully, the lady behind me had a card and was nice enough to use hers. My new total was $110.09.
$70 dollars, for a stupid barcode.
Anyway, I put my groceries in the car and came back in to get my card. I had to give my name, address, and phone number. For what I have no idea, but apparently, it's worth about $70 dollars.
Did I mention I hate rewards cards?

Add onto that the fact that you always end up with a million rewards cards, each of which ends up saving you like $50/trip, but not to places you frequent weekly. So now you've got a keychain that's really a key on a ring with 50 mini rewards cards for your keychain.
I've been thinking there needs to be an app for that. Just scan the barcode (or manually enter the number if you prefer the pedantic way of doing things). Then just select the retailer and have them scan your phone when it's time.
And you should've used a tumblr account instead of blogspot. Then I could reblog with a click instead of copying links, typing, blah blah blah. Too much work. Thanks for not thinking of ME. Asshat.
