I'll get you a publicly-accessible Web-site with a fancy Libman-quality AJAX interface that lets people browse / search through a database of every product every bought by Lindsey, including date / times, store locations, etc.  Unique product ID's will point to other databases: store inventory, product details, nutrition information, etc.  People will be able to crunch the numbers in all sorts of creative ways: graph the caloric intake of her purchases over time, figure out on which months her magnesium intake was high or low, create cartogram maps of stores Lindsey frequents, what cuts of meat she prefers, graph her deposition to buy cheaper / tastier / healthier products, video clips of her in the store and parking lot, etc, etc, etc.  I wanna see if you have a tendency to buy lots of chocolate on the days I'm mean to you online...

I don't really like chocolate all that much.  Sorry to disappoint you by not being your typical fat girl.

Once again...  It doesn't matter what you put on the form, what matters is it knows its the same unique ID every time you shop.

The way you beat the system is by swapping cards with other people (strangers), or not using them at all.

But I don't care, if no one knows it's me (and even then, I'm not sure I care, at the grocery store.)

I don't know...I've just never really cared much for it.  A couple of months ago I did get a really strange hankering for it, so I went out and bought a candy bar at the Walgreens on my way home from work, and I think I still have half of it around here somewhere.

I give a fake phone number and have a dump email address that I check on occasion for deals.
