When I used to work at a local grocery store, they stopped allowing us to use the "store card" for customers and gave us a huge stack of applications each to give out to customers sans card.
I don't think they were concerned so much with only a priveleged few getting the deals, but rather wanted more accurate marketing data. We don't use the cards for check verification anymore and it seems silly to want so much personal information for just a few cents off your mac & cheese.
Yep, I can pretty much guarantee your grocery store knows more about your tastes than you probably do.
