... and every time it happens it just drives you that little bit wilder...

>I've got Albertsons Preferred card, Tom Thumb (Safeway) Reward card. Its coming down to: you surrender your personal info or they screw you out of revenge. I'd like to see a law that everybody gets the same price whether you had their shitty little card or not. I'd also like to see a law that forced the retailer to give you the rebate at the time you made your purchase at their store. If a parts counter man picks up the phone while he's waiting on me, I leave my would be purchase on the counter and walk out of the store. For Christ sake! I'm standing there with cash to buy from him and he's talking to some would be buyer on the end of a copper string.

>Stan Wilder
