I resent that they try to imply otherwise; it's a lie. I resent
having to pull the card out of my wallet in order to get what I
previously got without it, the discount they are offering to
everyone anyway.

And it's so dishonest of them to advertise "sale" prices that are
higher than the list price was 20 years ago. I'm obviously
justified in shoplifing any such items.

Your point here is valid, what mildly upsets me on that score is their
advertising sale prices that are higher than the list price last week.
