When they ask you for your phone number, just tell them 867-5309. No, I’m not trolling you - I can virtually guarantee you that at any grocery store, anyplace, someone has put that number down on the application form for a store card instead of their real number, so it will absolutely ring up as valid.

What is wrong with targeted marketing? Its obviously a mutually beneficial practice, it allows websites to make more money advertising making more products and services free for us to use like news, 4channel, email and everything google does for that matter. And at what cost? A higher percent of ads that you see are related to your interests? And this is a bad thing? What kind of madman would rather see irrelevant ads than things for products and deals he would be interested in?

If they are taking advantage of it they are doing a really bad job. Politicians are wildly against tech companies or booming newer industries and new technologies in general in favor of old shittier industry with a more entrenched lobbying effort. See taxis vs uber in almost every city, or craft breweries vs bars, or airbnb vs hotels, those electronic scooters vs public transit operators, Google vs boomers trying to write absurd privacy laws

If tech companies really have this cache of data on all politicians to blackmail them they have been incredibly ineffective at wielding it as at almost every term older, less competitive industries strike concessions from newer better industries because of they better political connections and anti-capitalist sentiment

that said, I work in a grocery store who's entire gimmick is that we have retardedly good discounts on certain items that you need to have a membership to get. We've even made it possible to use your regular credit/debit card as the membership card so you don't have to show your id or have another card, but people still fuck it up all the time and then return and get angry at us for giving them the wrong prices on stuff.

[A] man walked into a Target outside Minneapolis and demanded to see the manager. He was clutching coupons that had been sent to his daughter, and he was angry, according to an employee who participated in the conversation.
"My daughter got this in the mail!" he said. "She's still in high school, and you're sending her coupons for baby clothes and cribs? Are you trying to encourage her to get pregnant?"
The manager didn't have any idea what the man was talking about. He looked at the mailer. Sure enough, it was addressed to the man's daughter and contained advertisements for maternity clothing, nursery furniture and pictures of smiling infants. The manager apologized and then called a few days later to apologize again.
On the phone, though, the father was somewhat abashed. "I had a talk with my daughter," he said. "It turns out there's been some activities in my house I haven't been completely aware of. She's due in August. I owe you an apology."

i see people with digital buying spend more time then myself where i use cash
swipe card-error, low funds, get cash back, go through wallet for a new card, etc

i hand cash, get my change in 10 seconds max
only time it could take longer is if the person is new and not accustomed to dealing with cash, tho that seems incredibly rare nowadays

that's specifically what it is for, weak willed people to impulse buy stuff they wouldn't have been interested in only to buy because of a "sale"

if you want something and waiting for a sale that's what a wishlist is for, any decent site has that.

What makes me really unconfortable about rewards programs is how pushy companies are with trying to get you to sign up for them. I was talking to an employee from a store with a rather aggressive rewards club campaign. Apparently corporate really hounds the managers of individual stores about getting everyone who shops there to sign up. They want more than 99% of people who shop there, even just once, to sign up. They punish stores or employees who don't meet quotas for new sign ups or overall rewards card usage for purchases. It makes me wary of it all. If they're so great, there should be no reason you need to force me to sign up. I've had places try to hard to get me to sign up that I just left without buying the things I had at the register. I started telling cashiers that I don't believe in saving money and that if I'm going to buy something, I want it enough to pay full price for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be buying it.

True. People don't realize just by analyzing your purchases they can build an extremely accurate profile of you. Merge that with tracking your searches, the apps you use and the websites you visit and they can read you like a book. They can even determine if you're a person who thinks they're above marketing influences and direct an effective marketing campaign against you based on that premise.

I always have my loyalty program cards with me. One group literally pays me money for buying their groceries that are cheap to begin with (only reason I shop there) and the other one offers some discouts. I'm not really after discounts but I show the card just in case there happens to be a discount for something I'm buying.

You win, they win, why wouldn't you have your card?
