No thing as "a FRIENDLY neighborhoud Checkers"!!!!!

Remember the little checkers shops for which you received a piece each time you spend a certain amount? Now they have the little Garden but with one major difference. If you don't have a Checkers Card then you do not get a seedling. Having shopped for over R1500.00 I regretfully had left my Checkers card at home. So I said to my NOT so friendly neighborhood Checkers manager, can I please go home and get my card so I can proof I have a card. But FAT Chance!! She would not budge. Shame on you Checkers!!! How is it that for the little shop people did not need a Checkers card but now all at once one does to get the little garden pieces???? What's behind this? Shame on you!!!
