A GIANT ripoff!

When I moved here I got a card from GIANT supermarket. I got discounts on food items & for every $100 I spent I got .10cents off a gallon of gas @ their pumps.

It has been sorta hit & miss on the gas discount. Sometimes it would say I have 10/20/30/40cents off & when I got to the pump & scanned my card it would say I got nothing!
Twice @ their Quick Stop locations I complained & they gave me the 10 cents off.

It happened again today! I had a receipt that said I have 40cents off
& I got nothing!

Here is the explanation I got when I insisted they call "Corporate"!
"The discount was already used today by Keelan McKendry."

What?!? I said. Keelan lives in North Carolina & she has nothing to do
with my grocery shopping!

Turns out...although I may have my own GIANT card, it is all tied into the address on file.
For the 3 plus years I have lived here, I'm just guessing, but there
have been about 9 people that have come & gone
And they all had GIANT cards!

It's sorta like if I were a frequent flyer & used Visa
To book a free flight & the airline told me
you have no points left because Maura,
who lives @ the same address & has a Visa card,
used your mileage points on a roundtrip
flight to San Francisco this past Tuesday!

Wh!@#$%!!!

Let's do the math:
You drive 50 miles a week. 52 x 50= 2600 mi/yr.
25 mpg avg.
2600/25= 104 gal/yr
104 x .10= $10.40
$10.40 x 3 yr. = $31.20

Keelie owes you $31.20. Get it from her next time you see her. She'll be next to the grizzled, combat veteran, Army Ranger, Special Forces trainee with the captain bars.

I will 1st address EJM & "the fine print". Which points back to the guitar & a book on a table/shelf &BM's...I have already typed too many words...Now, Mr T...my beef is not with NC Keelan. My beef is with GIANT. But! If you want to bring up a grizzled, combine
vet, Forrest Ranger looking for bars in the woods like Captain Davy Crocket...I will remind you that I was a Spec 5 in the US Army
Logistical Corpse! And there ain't no Captain gonna be Special with his Troops if don't have a Chow Wagon...logistically speaking!

As common citizens, I'm sure you have all read details about 'The Big Beautiful Bill'...were you surveyed by CNN?

Watching this CNN guy it looks to me that we all Hate it! And if it passes America is screwed...people will suffer... people will die & ...
