Again, Bullshit.  I do not buy the same groceries every time I go to the
store, and neither do most people.

Most REAL people, I mean, as opposed to the mindless pre-programmed
drones you seem to suppose exist.

And just what is it you think is "coming", anyway?  A Big Brother type
society?  Hmmm, I think you are making my point for me.  LOL!

GONG!  Wrongo.

The original post was about what one person did in regard to being
required to provide a whole lot of personal data in order to get a
"discount" card which we have already established to be a thinly veiled
excuse to build mailing lists while simultaneously raising prices
without appearing to do so.

Had not a thing to do with surveys.
