The local Super K here posts ALL stores ads on a kiosk when you walk in.
They give the same prices as any other store.

I personally find it offensive that one has to get a "card" to get
"special
member pricing". Just tell me how much it is, and I will buy it or not.
And then when you scan out, at the end, they punch a button, and all the
discounts blaze across the display that you can't evaluate how much you
DID
pay.

I went to a store the other day, and they wanted to know my PHONE NUMBER.
I
asked what for, and they said it was so they could mail something. I
asked
how they would get my address from a phone number, and the girl said that
they got it from the directory. Sure.

She was a dummy. Web designers can buy a phone/address cross reference
service, just like programmers can buy all sorts of ready-made modules
rather than program certain things themselves.


Just put the price on the damn thing. Like K Mart does.

K-Mart's coming back from chapter 11 with a vengeance. I think the public's
going to be pleasantly surprised.
