Katelew, Yes, indeed the grocery stores do keep track of what you purchase! And so does Costco. Don't know about what the liquor stores do....In WA we can buy wines at the grocery, but not liquor. We have returned a couple of things to Costco without our slip. They just look up your account and see when you purchased the item. I'm sure that Sam's and other big volume stores do the same thing. They can tell how many of what item one bought for the year. Voila! Lawyers can tell us if these records can be forced from the company and given to the IRS.... And our grocery stores all do....You know those "membership cards"....or give them your phone number so you can get the "lower" price...? That is exactly what they are doing. They know what each customer buys, when, and how much. What started out as an inventory aid can turn into "big brother" depending on who wants to know something.
