My reading skills are just fine, thank you. Perhaps it's the writing that is giving me trouble. The exact words that were used in the thread title are "just not right." Unless I'm missing something, I'm reading that as referring to the subject of the post--the loyalty card, and the fact that those who want it are paying for it. So, if it's not "right" it must be "wrong." Many people associate the word "wrong" with "bad." I know that's not necessarily the case, but that's the connotation. Obviously, the insinuation being made is that everyone who buys into the program is stupid. Maybe. All I know is that, by the end of the year, at a little less than two visits per month, I'm going to get my $20.00 back and enjoy a year's worth of $3.00 martinis. Again, if you don't want it, don't buy it. Problem (and resulting gripe) solved.
