Loyalty program question: say you shopped at a grocery store with one of those card programs, and either forgot or didn't have a card. - TFox Aug 3, 07:18 32
- At the local Stop and Shops they hit a button for the dummy card when you don't have yours. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 07:31
- My grocery store (Winn-Dixie) that has that will take your phone number instead. CVS always(-ish) uses a dummy card. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 07:29 6
  - I have a CVS "Universal Card" but my manager has told me to never use it. I'm supposed to scan a "new" card if the customer doesn't have one. - Tim Aug 3, 07:33 4
    - Interesting. I rarely shop there, but I do see them scan a card if someone in front of me doesn't have theirs. - JaxSean Aug 3, 07:36
    - So they want you to skew the numbers? -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 07:34 2
      - In a sense. That's all retail is, you have to satisfy arbitrary numbers. - Tim Aug 3, 07:36 1
        
        Your IM. Yup. -- nm - lileve Aug 3, 07:38
  - I think I've only had them not do it at CVS a few times. Also, Borders will look me up by email address. The only other one I can think of is our - JaxSean Aug 3, 07:31
- I don't know any stores that require a card for discounts, just for points. -- nm - zork Aug 3, 07:28 1
  - All supermarkets (and CVS) around here require the card for sale prices. -- nm - Tim Aug 3, 07:30
- I find it depends. At CVS stores they never gave me the discounts until I used the card. Part of that may be that their program is more based on - pmb Aug 3, 07:24 3
  - Actually, this jives with my experience as well. CVS is very diligent about it. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 07:26 2
    - Also, if you're not using your card and you get prescriptions at CVS, you're actually throwing away money. - Tim Aug 3, 07:30 1
      - What I love about CVS is when things go on clearance, they really effin' go on clearance. They don't seem to fool around with half-assing it first. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 07:43
- Very rarely; it's why I don't even bother signing up for most of those things - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:24
- I always get them to scan a dummy card - true fact - Employees can get fired for scanning a dummy card - Epiphany Aug 3, 07:23
- They typically can take phone numbers if you don't have your card. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 3, 07:20 2
  - maybe i wrote the question in Swahili.... -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 07:22 1
    - ok... Forgetting the card isn't an issue for us, because the stores accept your phone number in lieu of having the card. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 3, 07:24
- there's two solutions to the loyalty card issue - sign up with incorrect info, and/or don't care that they know how much toilet paper you buy. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 07:20 12
  - personally, I could give two shits that they know I love Tastycakes and Cheez-Its. But I'm just curious if people really don't get the sale prices. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 07:21 11
    - I hate carrying extra cards around in my wallet. I regularly shop at 4 stores which use cards. - psilotum Aug 3, 07:25 10
      - There are phone apps now that will import all your cards and show a barcode/number on the screen for the cashier to scan/enter -- nm - oblique Aug 3, 07:32 5
        
        I should look into this. This would be convenient. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 07:33 4

    - Boss: "we won't be getting into reasons at the first meeting" -- nm - Beaker Aug 3, 07:17
  - I hate those kinds of meetings - meetings just to tell us we need to work harder - Epiphany Aug 3, 07:06 1
    - Our place is barely stitched together chaos, so we probably could use one. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 07:10
