Where is your Reward Card ?

 OK. So I was spoiled while living in Florida and not having to deal with all these stupid rewards cards. Publix, the regional supermarket in the So. Florida area was pretty good.  They ran sales, had their buy one get one free shit, and certain other promotions as all super markets do. However, I wasn't forced to carry around one of those ridiculous fucking cards that save you nothing with me.
   

Of course, that was until I discovered the magical world of Ralph's in California.  Will someone tell me why Mr. Ralph thinks we are all stupid and believe the pricing in the store ????   For example.......A bottle of juice is $14.75  BUT with the Ralphs super duper deluxe priority special value club card it is only $1.25.    OK, so maybe I exaggerated a bit... But really, if you look around the store all you see are inflated prices in LARGE LETTERS and the club price in normal lettering.
   

What have we become ?  Are we strictly victims of Madison Ave bullshit ? Do we have to shop like sheep and hand a stupid card to the stupid checkout person in order to get the price we should be getting just for going into that store ?

If you want me to shop and spend lots of time and money, I think it only right that you do something to attract me to the store.  Don't waste money on all that advertising, card promotions, huge signs about sales....Nope...Just do something to make the scenery somewhat better. Take some of that money and hire some cool people to shop.

I am not saying that I will shop longer and spend more money if the aisles looked like the pictures above...But......Who am I kidding ?????  I would be there shopping on a daily basis.   Wouldn't you ?
 

Give....Give....Give....

I don't know about you, but when I go to the local supermarket I have one thing on my mind and one thing only.  I want to buy what I need and get the fuck out of there as quickly as possible.   I don't want to detour around those fat old women that seem to be bullshitting to each other in the middle of an aisle.  I don't want to listen to some screaming kid sitting in those ridiculous carts and demanding his or her mother buy the crap they want.

     

I want my shopping experience to be over almost before it begins.  I have seen my share of shoppers mutilating and rummaging thru the produce department. I have seen my share of the egg Nazi's that insist on examining each and every egg in the carton. I have seen my share of the animals touching the bakery goods with their dirty hands.  In other words, I basically hate most of the people shopping in supermarkets.  (Naturally none of our CRaPUSA readers would ever be guiltily of any of the above.)
      

I also really hate the many charities these stores all support.  Wait !!!!!!! I take that back.  The stores don't support them, but merely ask their customers to support them while checking out their groceries.   It's bad enough shopping, so why add this miserable final touch to our shopping experience ?  I live alone and don't do any major shopping.  I'll go to my local Publix every couple of days on the way home from the gym to get what I need.  I am always amazed at the nice ladies checking me out asking if I would like to donate to some charity that I never heard of....I also hate saying no, but also like to pick and choose where and to whom I contribute to.
      

I am also pretty sure they are not so comfortable doing the asking.  But there must be a better way.
   

Strippers don't ask for money, but there is plenty of that we are willing to part with. I really think that I am on to something here ?  Maybe it's time these supermarkets did some serious research on collections and made this a little more interesting.

I would much rather donate some money to some cause that I knew something about, or didn't feel guilty saying no. Today there are banks in supermarkets, post office branches in supermarkets, pharmacies in supermarkets, etc......Maybe, just maybe, it's time for a strip club in a supermarket........Might not be such a bad idea ?????

Liar, Liar

 Coming tonight.....(or whenever I get around to finishing it)....The real life story of dumb ass liars that you and I come in contact with on a daily basis.

Hint.....Hint.....Hint.......Fuck You Publix Supermarkets......You are a sneaky liar and I am about to let everyone in the world know about it. (like anyone really gives a shit)
