Is it just me, or are you tired of it too?

Is it just me, or are you tired of it too?

Have you noticed how hard it is today to simply buy something? Oh for the days when all you had to do was pull out some cash, get your change and purchase, and be on you way! But that's not how it goes today!

First you have to hunt up your discount card (my key chain is overflowing with them), then you have to refuse to sign up for their store credit card (even though you can save 10% off your $2.00 purchase!) Next you'll be asked to donate a dollar to help save the baby pigs in Istanbul. Next they'll want your zip code, phone number, or email address. What's next? A blood or urine sample?!

If that isn't bad enough, have you noticed the 385 feet of receipt that they give you now? You purchase 3 items and that printer keeps going and going! Why? Because they want you to take a survey! You could be a winner of $$$ if you participate! Give me a break! I just want my Diet Mountain Dew and to go on with life.

I'm getting to the point where I hate checking out at the store!

OK, my complaining is over - let's go shopping. But don't forget your discount card!!
