I positively HATE those friggin' cards. Most of the stores around here have a "store" card so customers don't have to go through the hassle of digging for a card or giving over personal information. The Giant next to where I work doesn't even ask me any more...

I could change it to some random other number, but then I'd have to remember--yet another--random other number, and the odds of that happening are astronomical.

Jeez, can't they order you a replacement card instead of making you use an alternative ID? If not, maybe you could sign up for a brand new account, just so you'll have a physical card to swipe again. Or ask if you can change your alternative ID to a phony phone number that's easy for you to remember, like an out of date work number, or the phone number you had growing up, if you still know it. I still know mine ( ... )

Whenever they give me a physical card (and it has been replaced twice before) they give me one big card and two of those obnoxious little keychain cards. Mr Moth gets the big card because he loses the little ones (hence the need to replace the card twice before).

I don't want another number to remember, and my parents are still using the number they've had since before I was born. I really just want to use the number I have and for them to back off when I say no.

Now I have all my store cards stored on my phone in an app. I"m pretty sure I won't be handing my $X00 dollar smartphone over for strangers to use in the store, so that should brace up my NO-ing ability quite a bit, ha.

Also, I'm practicing.

"NO."
"NO."
"OH HELL NO."
