  • Discounts for loyalty members is the same thing as higher prices for the general public.

    I generally agree with you, but I think it’d be very difficult to legislate this. (For example, if you ban “discounts” for loyalty program members, they instead offer “rebates” which functionally is the same effect. If you ban “rebates”, they instead send you a coupon for your next visit after you shop.)

    If the advertised price is what a non-loyalty-program shopper pays, I have less of a problem with it, but what gets me is when the item is listed as, for example, “2 for $3” on the shelf, and at the register rings up for $3.69 each unless you swipe a loyalty card. Fuck that shit.

    I had almost this exact experience as a kid. I was riding my bike and a group of 5 older kids physically stopped me; I thought I was about to get beat up, but it turns out they were playing a game and needed one more. Ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the day and then went on my way. I’d basically forgotten about it until seeing this comic, so, thanks for that!
