those ostensibly-customized coupons that the grocery stores give out--what bullshit. today, i bought some dr. pepper (mr. pibb seems to have gone the way of the passenger pigeon while i was in massachusetts), a loaf of french bread and a clif bar. i got coupons for scott paper towels and caress soap. i'm confident i've never bought name-brand paper towels or non-organic soap in my entire goddamn acme-shopping life. i'm using their discount card, so where's my personalized shopping experience?
