Yes, But...

I usually shop at Wally World for my staples and at Sam's Club for meat and stocking up. On occasion I do shop at Albertsons or Kroger (they're within a block of each other) for quick pick up items. When I was at Kroger about 3 months ago, I was talked into one of their "favored shopper" cards...you know the ones that some stores make you carry to get a "discount" on products.

Well, I put the Kroger card in a drawer and promptly forgot it, and on several trips I was asked for it and couldn't produce it. When I found it in a drawer the other day, I put it on my key chain so I wouldn't forget it. Today I went to the store to pick up a few things and while in line I remembered the discount card. When it was my turn, the first thing I did was proudly hand the key chain to the checker. I was so happy to have remembered without being asked for it! I even told the checker "...I usually forget my Kroger card, so I'm giving it to you right away so I won't forget!" With a sympathetic smile on her face she said "yes, but, this isn't Kroger."

    Beth, in answer to your question above, I was in Albertson's, which is right down the street from Kroger. The checker and I laughed so hard I had tears running down my cheeks.

    I think we have so much to do and get so busy, our hands get ahead of our brains sometime.! We all need to slow down.

    That is hilarious! I go to three grocery stores most weeks, but I just type my phone number into the machine and it is hooked to my club cards...next time they ask you for the card ask if you can enter your phone number. Whatever you do, don't pay full price!
