Walgreens is just BLAH in that
regard. Every store is the same it seems...... But that seems to be
the case with all chain stores. Walmart is like that too, but at
least they dont play all those games and require cards and forms to
fill out. What it says on the shelf is what I pay, and I like it
that way.
As others have pointed out, there is no requirement to provide a real
name, address, or phone number to get the card, and many people use
bogus (and creative) names. A good list of some names to use is at
http://www.cartalk.com/content/staff-credits. Or take an Indian name
such as Mr. Venkatanarasimharajuvaripeta or Mr.
Wolfe貞chlegel貞tein虐ausen苑erger苓orff. Unfortunately, Walgreen's
doesn't call you by name, like Safeway does, when they hand you your
receipt.
Which works only until the first time you don't pay with cash. After that, they
have everything you ever purchased there linked to YOU.
OMG! Heaven forbid. Back 50+ years ago, everything people ordered
from Sears, Montgomery Wards, Burpee Seeds, JC Whitney, by sending
in a mail or phone order was linked to them too. You just wake up?
50 years ago Sears, Montgomery Wards, Burpee Seeds and JC Whitney did
not have computers to keep track of everything you do.
