Dave... until you HAVE to have their card to shop at their store. Then, when it says "limit 2 per customer", that's all you are going to get because they have a computer which tells them to order 1000 pounds of bananas at $x per pound because Dave only buys bananas when the price is $X and he only buys two bananas per month at that price.

No? Well, just last week, I tried to open an account at a recently opened bank just up the street, for convenience. When I refused to accept a card with all the 'conveniences', like ATM access and all, I was told it was a requirement. Each teller has a card reader and customers have to swipe their card before the teller can serve them. I don't have an account there.

Ah, it's MY money. It's in MY ass pocket. And the computers and big brother and big business can go fuck themselves.

Rage, I say. Rage. Don't give them the upper hand. They will slap you in the end. That's the real identity theft.
