    It's a data-mining exercise. It allows Tesco to collate information on your buying habits, and then target you with specific coupon discounts, for example.

    TBH when I go to Tesco/Asda/Lidl/etc I have enough trouble remembering to bring my blasted "bags for life" with me without faffing around with bleedin paper vouchers. Seeing as how the Polish guys have gone home now Tesco can stick their gawdamn clubcard.

    I go to the same supermarket most days to buy my lunch, at this stage I'm vaguely familiar with the staff. I've been going to the shop for months but still get asked if I have a clubcard nearly everytime I'm being served. No, I don't because:

    1) I don't want one.
    2) I can be arsed filling in the form tbh.

    That's not magically going to change the next day I'm in the shop, and I won't suddenly change my mind. I know they have to ask if there's managers around but almost every fúcking day I get asked. LEAVE ME ALONE! /rant


    Cashiers deal with hundreds of people a day, how many cashiers do you deal with a day? If you look relatively ordinary I don't see how they're expected to remember you. I had to ask it hundreds of times a day, forgetting means that you get to deal with some angry wagon who can't face the thought of getting the points back on later and will take quite a while to leave the till while doing their best to demean you while ranting. Much easier to ask people, personally couldnt care less if you said no.

    There so eager to get you to swipe because apart from using your info for their own market research they sell all that info on to other companies for big sums of money.

    'are you using your own bag'?
    YES

    'please remove item from bagging area'

    'do you wish to continue'?
    FCUK OFF:mad:

    Maybe cause it's the ''express'' checkout you shouldn't be asked for a clubcard..no? Always considered them a diy jobby without the pay check...:pac:

    Funny you should say that. First time I used the express checkout was in Greystones to buy bananas. They cost €2 which I stuck in the machine. Then it printed the receipt and gave me the €2 back in the change slot.
    Thought it was a great concept but it never happened again :(

    Anyone who opposes the OP is a fervent defender of Dunnes Stores.

    Fill one the huge trollies with groceries and stuff, and when asked for your card simply say "oh no, I left it at home. I'll just go and get it."

    Walk off and don't return.




    I hate tesco.
