But, I also hate to admit that I am also thinking of just caving in
on the store card game. I think (but I am not sure) that I can give
them all the same phone number and some innocuous mostly bogus
personal info and never carry one of their stupid cards. Instead, I
see people just giving their phone number and saying they don't have
their card with them. I happen to have a separate low-cost phone
line that I can use for that, and its a line that I never actually
answer and mostly just use for outgoing calls.

If you give them a real phone #, they've got you identified. If you
ever pay with plastic, they've got you.


And even if you always pay with cash, if you get prescriptions from
them, they got you. I dont think anyone uses a fake identity for their
doctor, and medical care. If there is any insurance involved, you
surely wont. So, that means that if you get prescriotions from them,
there is no point using a fake name/identity.

Pay with cash and don't use the card, and no problem. They aren't giving you a
discount on prescriptions using the card anyway.

Kroger sure does. It's not trivial, either.
