They want to reward regulars and get extra from people who are just passing through (travelers or those who think they dont need the card)

They use it to track purchases and adjust prices so they can tell how many diapers they are selling on a friday night and what other purchases that customer is buying. Then they build customer profiles and feed it into algorithms to get price elasticity and a bunch of other maths.

Kroger sends targeted coupons based on prior purchases. I get them for a “free dozen eggs” My girlfriend gets free Ben and Jerry’s as a “Best Customer Reward”.

Worst case scenario: You buy a case of mason jars, a roll of aluminum foil and a pound of brown rice flour, and a stack of razor blades, and a box of condoms at the store. Info gets in the hands of some curious store employe who mentions to your (parents / wife / police officer) This person stops by to see if you are OK, and peeks in your window. Uncomfortable situation all because of data mining...
OK, that's not worst case scenario. Lets say someone else commits a murder with the same rope you got in your cart. Now since you used your loyalty card there is a false evidence trail. You end up in prison for a crime you didn't commit.

I have noticed a great deal of items beyond the “best by” dates still on the shelves. They used to keep up with the freshness better during surplus times.

Is it a Lucky's by chance?
Also, investigate 311.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

I always target stuff that goes 40-50% off that I use. Stock up big time.
Also run 2 loyalty cards for the same supermarket. As time goes by they keep edging up how much they want me to spend to save $$$ and the the unused one gets better and better deals. Then I swap over, milk the unused one till the deals become shit and the emails trying to tempt me back on the other card become daily, then swap again... fuck em at their on game.
