Store Cards
I am sick, sick, sick, AND tired of all these stores that want you to use those little wallet cards or keyring cards to get store sales and/or discounts. It seems like half the stores you go to these days demand that you use them. I'm sorry but I don't want my wallet or key chain filled with cards, especially when some of these stores aren't regular places where I shop.
Here's a crazy idea: Why not provide good customer service by just giving me the sale price without making me jump through hoops like a bloated killer whale at Sea World? I hate having to wait in line while some old lady spends 20 minutes digging through her purse to find a card so she can save five cents on a box of Polident!
The worst part of the whole thing is they pester you to get one everytime you go in! Its like they train the staff to harass you until you just give in and go with the flow. Not me, no way, screw you, and up your nose with a large rubber house.

I have two keychains - one
I have two keychains - one for my keys, and one for all that other crap.
Credit Cards!
My beef is with those in store credit cards that have astronomical interest rates. Sure your saving 10% on every purchase but your also paying 25% interest! It’s just not worth it.
No more cards!
I know they're doing it for the demographic data and purchasing history (capitalism and all that jazz), but I wish they'd find a way to use your driver's license, or something else you cary with you anyway, rather than require another card. Or how about investing in biometrics? A nice retinal scanner, perhaps?
