Was it a popular brand? I see room for coincidence there.
Why, when I paid with credit before or cash after, did they never
give me coupons for dog food, or motor oil, or tampons, or something
else I don't buy?
The register coupon systems I've seen dispense them in response to your
current purchases. Like today, I got a $1.50 coupon for Kikkoman soy
sauce. I had purchased Hoisin.
It's possible that it happened as you say, but so what? The cards
gather all kinds of data on your purchasing. What's your objection,
that you saw them use it? That seems mighty silly, especially as it was
of benefit to you.
