This is true. I don't carry a grocery store card myself and more times than not, the cashier will use the store card she has to get me the discounts. I don't even ask, but they do. My wife has a card though, so I'm no purist - LOL.

Yep, and it pervades the real world as well. Club-cards, credit-cards, and memberships of all kinds.
You don't get discounted groceries for nothing. It costs you your privacy. All of that data is stored and will be used against us. Many people do not understand what they are giving away. They don't care if agencies track what they buy at the grocery store, because they don't understand what can be learned from it.
Often, we can still reap the benefits without bending over. For example, at the grocery store I ask to use the 'store' card. I get the discounts, but they don't get tailored statistics.
