Life Retail cards - Page 4

People that work in Retail, I've got a message for you.

NO, I don't want to sign up for the (Target, Kohls, Cabelas, Bass Pro, etc. etc.) card and save 10% on my purchase today.

I've been on this earth for 46 ****in years. If I wanted to create a store charge card, I'd ask for one. But I don't.

You ****ers ask me every time I come to the checkout. It makes me not want to shop there.

Stop. Next time I'm in a retail store and some ****face asks me if I want to save 10% today by signing up for the stores charge card, I'm gonna ****ing go off.

Why am I pissed? Because I went to two stores today for boxers, shoes, and socks (Target and Kohls), and both asked me the same ****ing thing.

I think RJ uttered some words of wisdom about this sort of thing a while back, when he said about his own company's promotions that he would ask the question, "Are we doing this for the customer or are we doing it for ourselves?" I guess one could read the loyalty card thing both ways, but I tend to think that it's more for the company.

The challenge is that if one place does it, it's not bad. The problem now is that everybody does it, and it exhausts and overloads the consumer's patience. It's like the popup surveys that companies put on their web sites. It's to the point now where I want to write a letter congratulating any company that doesn't put a crappy popup survey on their web site.

We love our target card, it saved us a couple hundred bucks last year.

Totally agree with the sentiment that it does no good to complain to anyone at the store level. This is coming from the corporate office. No one at the store can do anything about it. Hence, waste of time to talk to anyone at the store about it.
