would you like to sign up for...

NO.
I cut them off before they even finish the sentence.
Then to soften the blow I come back with something witty like,
"I'd lose my house if I had a Target card."

Sad, but maybe just a little true.

I make no attempt to hide my love of Target.
Kid friendly, a.c, snacks, great clearance.
I am there 3-5 times a week.

Last week, the cashier threw in a new word.
"would you like to sign up for a Target DEBIT card?"
Woah, hold the phone,
There is a Target Debit card?
Nobody ever told me about this.
5% off all my purchases, straight out of my checking account.
For stuff I was going to by anyway?
Hoorah.
You bet I signed up.
Right then and there.
I have used the temp copy 5 times since then, and sure enough there is 5% off just like they said.
I got my real one in the mail today.

It's red and shiny.
So much prettier than my bank debit card.
I love you Target.
And I won't lose my house.

P.S, I can also sign up for a school of my choice to receive a donation from my total.
Happy Shopping.
