Comment on Shitty stores that penalise you for not having their store card

I refused to carry the plastic cards for years, but google wallet allows you to add the barcode/qr code from a friend/stranger/family for any shop. You then get the instant discount at the checkout but won’t accumulate the later ‘points’- but your accomplice will! There are webpages online containing the barcodes if you are really privacy-concious. I have b&q, sainsburys, morrisons, tesco and co-op stored this wsy. Some shops are introducing apps too - still a line i won’t cross yet.

My whole extended family has been using my aunt’s stop and shop card for decades, ever since she asked us one xmas to help her accrue gas points. The home phone number its tied to has been defunct for at least 20 years now, and my aunt died 15 years ago. Even the address thats tied to the account afaik (I suppose one of my cousins could have updated it) no longer exists, as her dirt road, origibally known as ‘old country rd #2’ was long ago consumed by suburbs and the farms around it parceled out.
