Well, in the words of the inestimable Dr. Rot13, Shpxrznyy.  Not that
I'm rolling in cash, y'unnerstan',  but (this time in the words of
Granny Weatherwax) "I can't be havin' with that."

My wife always turns to the person in the supermarket line behind her
and asks if they use the loyalty card.  If they do, our checkout goes
on their loyalty card and we pay cash.  So far, there are no reports
of a devout Jewish or Muslim person being hounded because our makings
for pork rolls or clam chowder showed up on their record somewwhere.
