This shit keeps happening because everybody trying to sell shit thinks they need or deserve to have a "relationship" with their customers.

I don't want a relationship with ATLUS or SEGA just because I bought the deluxe remastered edition of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. Nor do I want a relationship with Nissan just because I had bought a car from them. And I sure as shit don't want a relationship with Google because I let my day job issue me an Android phone.

I can barely tolerate relationships with other human beings. I certainly won't tolerate relationships with corporations.

I need to be less lazy and sign up for a credit cards that gives you a unique card for each purchase, and the email address system that give you a different burner email for each transaction.

The worst (if there is a worst) is when you click the box that you don't want to be bothered, but yet they continue to harass you. I no longer shop at Khol's because of this; for some reason they think it's their god given right to send you as much spam as possible with no way to actually unsubscribe, except they made the mistake in thinking that I needed them for some reason, so I just blocked them altogether. Not that it really matters; for every 1 person that blocks them for being a pain, there are 1000 other people thinking that the spam they are getting is some great service.

Idea... when a store asks for your email, give them the support email address for that store :)
