I tell them I got rid of mine when they got in bed with the Daily Mail.

They don't pursue it.

I think because any negative response other than you presenting your
Nectar card (if you have one, reminding you to get your points) would be
treated as 'ok nutter, ICGAF'? ;-(

That is my intention.

Big difference between that and them *offering* you a Nectar (or any
other 'Loyalty') card when even then a simple 'No thanks' is sufficient.

That's exactly it. They do then go on to the next stage of offering me
one, except with my response above.

I always say 'Hi', 'Ok' or 'afternoon' etc, smile, respond positively to
any chat (whilst paying / taking receipts / tokens etc), say 'thank you
etc ... and when the car wash locks up halfway though it's cycle, it
could be the same person who may have to come out and fix it for you,
and *that's* when the friendliness you showed them may pay off (I don't
do it for that, I would do it anyway).

I quite agree. My wife and I often gently bicker in teh queue. It usually
raises a smile! And I always chat to the checkout operator, but not
enough to interfere with their work.

I know the local Aldi ones quite well, now. Although I always avoid one
of them (my son, who isn't allowed to serve me).

no sweethearting then.....
