Just ask for the 'house card' next time you are in the store. If they don't scan a house card, ask for the manager and believe me he will scan a house card. They do this because litigation has proven loyalty programs in effect charge similar customers different prices.
As a side note, I see calls for 'mod parent up' which is unfortunate. The parent post is just a leftist cry for class envy and adds nothing to the discussion. It's also inaccurate because, as I just pointed out, you can get the loyalty card discount without a loyalty card. This may explain why I haven't posted on slashdot for a year and will likely not post again for a year. This topic could have been quite a nice discussion about RFID (a technology you *will* deal with) but I would imagine when all is said and done we will just be bashing Microsoft. Amen.
