Special Guest Writer Monday

I proudly welcome my Friend Of A Lifetime (FOAL), Diva Stacy, as she brings us today's very interesting post.  I've laughed about this for two days, I might add. 

Businesses love loyal customers. Usually they are willing to acknowledge and thank you for your business. For instance, my friend Puddin gets perks and comps when she goes to the casino boat. When she uses her loyalty card, they recognize her as a high roller (even though she is far from it) but they still treat her like a queen.

My boss is the same way with Kohl's. It's no accident every single coupon she receives in the mail is a 30% off. They know she will be using it and will spend a lot of money. I think her Kohl's credit card is made of platinum. Seriously, real platinum.

Me? I might get a 15% or 20% off coupon from Kohl's. I get nothing at the casino boat. But there is one place where I seem to be appreciated. That place? Kroger. Whenever Puddin comes to my house she is amazed at the really cool glossy magazine type brochures and coupon books I received from them. Lovely works of art, filled with lots of coupons. Puddin always says "We don't get these!" Yesterday I told her "You get your perks at the casino, I get mine at Kroger! You start spending $1000 a month there, they will send you the glossy brochure too!" I guess there could be more glamorous places to be recognized, but we are a busy household and use a lot of groceries. So....anybody want a coupon for a free dozen eggs?
