Yes, they store the info, and it is already being used.  I know you don't 
believe in using credit cards, but the items you purchas using your store 
(BiLo) card is connected to your credit card if you have ever used your 
crwedit card together with that card, even once.  If you buy a lot of booze, 
it can negatively affect your credit, right now.  If you use you CC to 
gamble, buy lots of porn, other vice type activities will immediately affect 
your credit.  Not all of us are churchmarms and it isn't anyone's damn 
business.  I don't do those things myself, but if I wanted to , why should it 
be anyone's business, but mine.

If you buy cigarettes, alot of booze and ice cream, I have read that 
comapnies with the help of insurance companies can ferret out that 
information when determining your candidacy for a job or you apllication for 
health or life insurance.  My own insurance agent, when I started smoking 
again (before I quit this last time) told me to always buy my cigarettes with 
cash, and never to use a store card, so there would be no record of the 
cigarette purchases (he knew I was planning to quit again).

If someone sues you, their lawyer can ask for almost any kind of records, no 
matter how trivial they appear.  They can also ask for your spouses records.  
It is not funny when it happens to you.  It can be used just to bully and 
harass you ................bobford
