What's the point of the grocery store card if they use it for everyone?

3 different chains I go to. They have a store card that's pretty decent, 10-20% off sticker, BOGO deals etc.
But I don't have the cards. Here's what happens every single time.
"Do you have a Kroger/Publix/Winn-Dixie card?"
"No."
"Ok we'll use the store card."
*Beep*
10-20% off my total
Which is cool.
But what's the fricking point of the whole system?

Makes it much easier for them to track your purchases so they can use the data for whatever purpose they please.

Brings you back because you are getting a "deal"

Cause for many if you use your own card tied to your account....you also accumulate points that you can use for further discounts(like gas).
I've saved a dollar off per gallon of gas with my grocery points.

Did you go to the golf tournament nurse?

Um you’re not too bright are you?
You don’t count because you’re too lazy to get a card. But for people who actually have a card.
The card is tied to you individually. They scan the card and then all the items rung up in that transaction are tracked. Whether you use cash is irrelevant. In fact the store cards are really the only way they can track cash paying customers purchase histories.
But they accumulate this data and make all types of decisions based upon it. No different than Facebook.

“I don’t have my card on me. Can I use the store card?”
Posted on 2/2/19 at 7:58 pm to Cosmo
Nah. I've been a handful of times. I hate golf, my husband hates golf.
What's the point of going there if you hate golf and are not single?

Ol boy at the Kroger uses the one off his keychain for the jagoffs that dont have their own. Probably fills his car with $5

So basically I should continue to not get a card. Because my gas is paid for, and I'm getting all the discounts anyways, and not being tracked, and not having data collected on me
