i am now convinced that canadian tire money is the greatest marketing tool ever invented.
why?
because no matter how hard you try, you can NEVER get rid of it. for example: i had $1.25 in CT money in my wallet and used it when i was in the store last time. my total was $40 and i gave the cashier my 2 twenties and my CT money. she then gives me $1.25 in change and another 40cents in canadian tire money.
i only ended up spending 85cents of the original $1.25 that i had.
cratch:
now i am stuck with this. and the next time i use it, i will just get more back.
but i will keep trying to spend it, and therefore, i will spend more money in their store.
marketing genius.
