Card Collector
You know what I just realized this morning that irritates me when I was trying to buy coffee at the local gas station? Those stupid "super saver" or "rewards" or "bonus buy" cards that every major and minor retailer feels that they have to get you to sign up for now. I feel like you have to have an entire wallet full of these things just to get the "sale" price or special "bucks" to use back in the store for savings.EVERYONE has them. Grocery stores. Drug stores. And now...gas stations. And not only do they make you get these cards in order to "save money" or get "cash back" - they harass you to sign up for them. You can't check out without being asked "Do you have your rewards card? Oh no, wanna sign up?" And then you do, and then you're stuck with another stupid card. And then you forget it when you go to the store the next time because you took the 27 cards out of your wallet so that it was light enough to carry. And then the cashier makes you feel guilty about it so you sign up for ANOTHER one...and now you have two of them.
I miss the good ol' days of just cutting out coupons and bringing them in to the store. Or grabbing the flier as you walked into the store and ripping it up as you walked around. These stupid plastic savings cards are starting to give me a complex.
