"Do you have a Nectar card?"

If I had one I'd've given it to you already.

That's unfair.

I often forget to offer my card at the check-out and when I realise two
minute's later am annoyed that I wasn't prompted by the assistant because
"I
don't fit the profile".

What "profile"?

Being female. I have noticed that the checkout staff more usually ask women
"do you want the school vouchers" or "do you have a club/reward card than
they do men.

OTOH, they probably more often ask men "do you want the petrol vouches" but
I can't survey that as I rarely spend enough money to qualify (I don't own a
car).
