Jim S, Actually, since grocers have begun scanning and listing the item and price, plus handing out those cute little cards to allow substantial discounts on your purchases. it is perfectly capable of keeping a record of your buying habits.

Say, you buy alcohol, cigarettes, other "unhealthful" products. Does anyone really think your health/life/disability insurance carriers are not able to get their crafty mitts on this info and use it against them?

FWIW, I have a couple of those cute little discount cards and use them regularly and avidly. However, I did not give the stores my correct name or address or any other pertinent information. Not even close. - Holly
