Cafe Conversations
Every now and again at work we have customers who can be truly stupid. . .beyond the ordinary that is. We have a membership program where you pay a fee and save 10% all year on all your purchases. Some people love it some people hate it. On Saturday afternoon K. asked a guy if he was using his membership to save 10%. He replied "I don't have that card, it is an invasion of my privacy."
K: Okay, that'll be $1.55
Customer: You know they track you with it don't you?
K. Well, you don't have to put any information down, just keep the card and you are anonymous.
Customer: They can still profile you and track your card. . .blah, blah, paranoid privacy mumbo jumbo. . .rhetoric. . .blah, blah.
You get the idea. Finally he gets over his rant and asks K. how much he owed. After she told him he paid. . .are you ready for this. . .WITH A CREDIT CARD!
He blathered on for a good two minutes about his purchases being tracked and being profiled and losing his privacy only to pay with a freaking credit card. Can he really be that dumb?

apparently, he CAN be that dumb. I love my B&N member card. of course, with me it does its job - I try to spend enough yearly to make sure I get the fee back in savings. "But look honey, I saved 10% on this $200 worth of books!"
Yep he sure can!
And I think I've seen him in my salon too! ;-)
Oh, you've been tagged!
