I absolutely refuse to have anybody- Government- Credit cards- Banks tracking EVERY move I make.
Guy in Kalifornia a few years back got into trouble.
He was in a medium problem accident. He said he did drink somewhat, but not to excess, and wasn’t drinking that night. He didn’t get a blood test at scene because of trip to ER. No test done there, either, I think.
At the TRIAL for his accident, the other driver’s lawyer dragged out his GROCERY STORE CARD purchases for the past 3+ years. Showed lots of cigarettes and liquor. He tried to tell them that he purchased items for his home-bound Mother, and proved that he didn’t smoke at all.
Jury convicted him on the basis of his alcohol purchases, as he couldn’t PROVE he didn’t drink what he purchased.
I had always been told that grocery stores were NOT tracking what YOU bought and keeping records of same. They were only tracking inventory.
This trial proved that was a lie. I will pay cash whenever I can. Nobody’s business how we live and what we buy or eat.
