Weird

So the other day I was shopping on line. Real life browsing the stores is a thing of the past. I need to educate myself at home and see what is available in the stores. When that shopping moment arrives I need to be ready and to make quick decisions and move on!


A day later I get an email that "thanked me" for looking at blah blah blah. Excuse me?? How did you even know I was looking at it? I didn't purchase it... I just looked at it.


Honestly, it creeped me out...


When I went to the store they explained to me that they can tell which site I visit and how long I stay on it...


Sometimes this high tech stuff is so creepy! Where is our privacy? Obviously- nowhere...


The other day I received an e-mail for a 25% discount at a children's store. I purchase many of the kids clothes there so I was quite excited. Emma and Ellie have never had their own robe and Sarah has grown so much it was time for a new one for her. I was thrilled and got our order all figured out. Of course then I read the fine print... does NOT include, sleep ware, yadda yadda yadda. There went the discount- down the cyber drain...


Anyone else feeling like this is kind of weird? Like maybe someone is encroaching on there personal life?
Anyone else feeling like gypped out of a good deal ?


Just wondering...


Makes me not want to shop at these stores...
