Wow, I've never seen pricing that bad without a loyalty card in the US. Not saying it doesn't happen, quite often it's a 20-30% discount for the loyalty card, and occasionally more if you use the app (which I refuse, since I use Jenny's number for the loyalty card).
You're right to call it a punishment. Wonder if we can aggregate the loyalty app program somehow, like host the app in an Android VM on a VPS that anyone can then access, so the data they get is muddied.
Safeway. That's only one of the several good reasons why I don't shop there.
