@carol@social.lolin a cost of living crisis - where all the food we buy has at least doubled in price over the last year - to force people into trading their privacy for food, to then turn around and do this, is next level evil shit:
@carol no wonder “Clubcard Price” is such a heavy discount most of the time. And at the same time they’re devaluing the points themselves by half.
@carol It’s awful. I took this photo a couple of months ago and nearly went to Twitter to tag them but stopped myself.
Unfortunately, I do use the card because of… cost of living crisis. It's only a matter of time until our shopping habits are used against us when it comes to health care.
@ohhelloana @carol I don’t think anyone should feel bad for using discounts like this in the current financial state. The people who should feel bad are the ones who are taking advantage of it all
@ohhelloana yeah i use it too! it’s prohibitive not to 
@carol @ohhelloana when I lived in California you could put in your phone number as the Safeway card id, and everyone used 867 5309 (from a song)
I wonder if we could all share a nectar card by scanning it with our phones.
@carol @ohhelloana they had a "every 10th coffee is free" thing with the cards too, which was another reason to use the shared number.
@KevinMarks @carol awww that's nice!!
@KevinMarks @ohhelloana that’s a great idea!
@carol The only thing you can do is put the clubcard discount purchases through in a separate transaction, then don't scan your clubcard for the rest. That at least minimises the data you're giving them.
@chthonicionic @carol If it were that simple there would be no point in loyalty cards. I suspect the difference is they can't store/use/sell the transaction data unless you scan the loyalty card at the same time.
@carol My dad worked for Sainsburys 10 years ago and, ended up quitting because he generally didn't agree with the way they ran things. And this was on the heels of the 2008 crisis. Finding a job in his field was already tough.
They can be pretty awful.
