Pigs in the trough

This is what happens when there is nothing but a monopoly. No other industry with the slightest bit of competition would get away with something like this. Go to you favorite grocery store, pay with cash, and use no 'bonus type card' basically remain anonymous. At check out the clerk tags on and extra 19 fee because they do not know who you are and cant sell your purchasing history to companies.

Wrong, its more like with card is 2/5.00 without card its 2.99 each. you'll pay a 98 cent premium to not be tracked on that item, assuming you paid with cash.

My feeling is that the store has already added in the cost for those who do not sign up for their 'rewards club' and they simply remove this cost if you enter your info.
