It's their freedom to conduct business as they wish. It's your
freedom to shop elsewhere. It's other people's freedom to take
advantage of the savings that loyalty cards afford.
except in some cases you find other places selling similar
items for a lower price and they don't have any loyalty
gimmicks.
we do shop at one club store place and they often have
reasonably good prices on some things and not so good
prices on other things. we go someplace else and usually
know which items are better to get at the other places.
we rarely even go to any places that do the loyalty
stuff because we find that their prices are usually more
expensive.
