"Congratulations. You just used 300 Plenti points at Rite Aid. We hope you had as much fun using them as you did earning them."
yeah. weirdest email i've ever gotten from a drugstore. and the same to you, rite aid!

which isn't that impressive, as far as uncurated drugstore combinations go, but i got that same weird look from the clerk when the pregnancy test went on the checkout counter that i always get when putting a pregnancy test on a checkout counter. it's like, what do you think you need that for? i would figure it for confirmation bias, but once i watched another friend buy one, and it was so surreal: there was this happy little "how exciting for you!" smile exchanged between her and the clerk. then again, friend had a decent sized rock on her hand and wasn't getting carded for a cigarette lighter in the same purchase. (they card for those, now?!)
i almost said "it's not what you think," but then i didn't. in all honesty, she seemed like someone who needed to live with that mystery.
