I got my Fry’s Electronics credit card today.  It’s about the sketchiest thing ever.  I should’ve been tipped off the other day when I asked the cashier how to apply for it, and she and at least 3 other cashiers around her gasped in surprise, exclaiming, “You WANT to apply for the card?!”.  Then she escorted me to Register 26, which was equipped with a computer from the 80s (which is apparently the only place you can apply for the card), and as I was typing my oh-so-private information, she persisted in looking over my shoulder.  It was so awkward, I didn’t even think to ask her to please GO AWAY.  Sigh, now I have a Fry’s card and some employee of Fry’s knows my social security number, home address, and mother’s maiden name.  No good.  No good.  How did I get roped into this?

Does anybody else have this thing?  I better get some *amazing* members-only deals with this card… Wait, is that Spongebob on the hologram?  Oh, no, wait, it’s just the Fry’s mascot, Charlie.

  1. Hey, you’re right, I *did* ask the cashier, “May I please apply for the Fry’s card?  Here, take my mother’s maiden name while you’re at it!”  Silly me.  I should stop doing that.
