I was asked for my Clubcard today...

Magenta

Yes, I was visiting a till at a Tesco Express and upon scanning ya wan behind the counter went through my details and landed me with this bomb of 'do you have a Clubcard?'.

I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward slience said 'err no Clubcard'. Then she just wobbled her head and promptly kept scanning into her till.

Now, what frigging relevance is my Clubcard in order to get served in a supermarket? :mad:

Thought Ireland was in the 21st century and why would a supermarket care about my Clubcard?

Tesco brings all the mums to the yard and they're like 'do ya have a clubcard'

Saila

oh I dunno it was just a question maybe, defensive much

It is a common question in Tesco, SuperValu, and I'm sure, the other chain supermarkets that use such cards. Scan the clubcard, get your points, get vouchers x number of times during the year which then are redeemable against your shopping in the relevant shop.

What idiot though itd be a good idea to replace the regular clubcard with a mini keychain version - oh sure, il just hand over my house, car and work keys to some stranger for a few extra points so i can get 30c of my next purchase of broccoli

Elliejo

Just because it can be attached to a keyring doesn't mean that you have to put it on your keys.

Probably the same idiot who thought it unlikely that a cashier in a busy shop would run off with your keys and steal your car while you just stand there and do nothing?!

It's quite simple really, incase of death Tesco know what condolence coupons to send you.

ballsymchugh

i hate them people, with their oppression and their questions. can't they just scan and ask for the total at the end without the endless questions!

Cheap Thrills!

Huh uh....I see what you're doin' here! Cue 80 pages of ranting about the separation of....erm.....Supermarket and....erm....church and state....or something.....:P

and they should give you a hat to say "no thanks I dont want to join, fuck off now and stop asking"

Im a rebel I dont use a clubcard. No point giving the barstewards too much information about yourself. Tesco are a big corporation you know and a guy from the SWP told me that.

Corporations are bad !!!!

Although in the past I have managed to obtain the best of both worlds by using my Polish housemates clubcard.

But what if its a life threatening shop? Your family have the right to know what you buy!

I hope you gave that shop assistant a slap for her cheek

Now that's the ultimate staycation.

Give yourself a real holiday, get in a day tour of the M&S deli counter with B&B in Arnotts, you're obviously a little overstressed.

Have 15 Euro in Tesco vouchers to use

I go to the same supermarket most days to buy my lunch, at this stage I'm vaguely familiar with the staff. I've been going to the shop for months but still get asked if I have a clubcard nearly everytime I'm being served. No, I don't because:

1) I don't want one.
2) I can be arsed filling in the form tbh.

That's not magically going to change the next day I'm in the shop, and I won't suddenly change my mind. I know they have to ask if there's managers around but almost every fúcking day I get asked. LEAVE ME ALONE! /rant

Why not get something back from them though if you shop in the same place

Why dont you just get one then!!? Save up afew points and get yourself a nice bottle of Smirnoff Tesco Value Vodka at the end of the year for free!

Overheal

My grocery store reminds me if i have a pfc card when i checkout. I dont think theres anything sinister about this, just that its policy to ask, and having one means i can save up coupon points and such. Some discounts are only available with the clubcard, etc. - the consequence of not having one is, well, you dont get those discounts. nobody doesnt not serve you..

OP sounds paranoid.

Cheap Thrills!

It IS sinister ....can't you SEE ???

They collect all that information on what you buy and then they ...:mad:....they give you...FREE STUFF in exchange for studying your shopping habits..:mad: THOSE BA$TARDS!

I mean miss buying tampons for nine months and they're pimping you discounts on nappies and SMA Gold :mad: It's outrageous I tells ya.

If your receipts show 'pierce and ping' meals for one, white wine and several copies of heat, Now and Closer a week they'll know you're a suicidal singleton in her 30's and soon they'll be offering discounts on Oil of Ulay, Dark circles extra strong cover stick and Resolve (for inner cleanliness)

The dark conspiracy SURROUNDS US!!! THEY'RE WATCHING US!! :eek:

CrazyRabbit

I just go to the same cashier each week. She knows me now and doesn't bother asking me if I have a clubcard.

My other method was wearing a t-shirt with "Don't ask about the clubcard" written across it. But it's too cold now to be walking around in a t-shirt...and people were giving me funny looks anyway.

"I was asked for" thread is old...

Got any change?
