& now for the Cons.


I hate the idea of someone else using any information
on that card agaisnt me. & don't think it wouldn't happen.
I like guns, & i don'w want those fucken bastards knocking
on my door to collect them, when some pencel dicked politician
makes them illegal. All because my ID card has that info
on it.

MOst people just shrug, when they are told that grocery stores
use their buying habbits. This little story will make you
rethink it.

a few years ago I had some checks stolen from me. The police
were pretty useless in the matter. Even when I told them I
Knew who did it.

But hey!, i was working for a private investigator & had a few
tricks. I had the chick who stole my checks followed (It was a sad
deal she was down on her luck, & had been buying food with my checks,
BUt still it was my fucken $$$, & I was planning on using it for beer!)
K so back the suspected theif being followed. After she made the
purchases, my freind who follwed her, just noted what. Check out lane
she used & the time. I latter made an appointment with the manager,
told her the time & what check out lane. Pulled it all up in the database
& BLAM she used her club card, which provided her name, address, exactly
what she purchased, & MY CHECK NUMBER. Along with other purchases, with
MY check number. Got what I needed police could do something now.

Thats not what shocked me.

what amazed me came out in a conversation with the manager as she looked
up the information. She started bragging about how the store
had recently won a court case agaist a lady who slipped & hurt
herself inside their store. They were able to use her, club card
information to prove she rarley bought food & was an alcholic,
thus discrediting her!

Oh christ, couple of beers and a computer, next thing I know ive
writen a book. Ill stop now.
