Intrusive or helpful?  It's a 'No thanks' from me.

I wouldn't give two hoots about it, thing that grates me is the dicount vouchers for stuff I never purchase claiming pesonally selected for me... yeah my arris they are.

*discount

[cashier]

No from me as well. I eat what I want, not what someone else tells me.

[Boto]

Big brother.  I would just ignore their suggestions.

More control/manipulation of the citizens. Matters little if the abuser is big business or elected government. They need to mind their own darned business.

Surely the best way would be to only have club card prices on healthy foods and make them cheaper than junk food.

Better to encourage than making customers feel like they are being watched and judged.

If they want to send me offers on fresh foods like fish and veg, that's ok-ish. Better than 3 for the price of 2 crisps and bags of sweets.

I don't want to be lectured on sodium or red meat intake.

[Old_Geezer]

Plus it'd send previously faithful customers elsewhere in search of better prices for the stuff they actually want to buy. That'd be a good marketing strategy.

I guess it's just another example of the pervasive intrusion into our lives - similar to what Google does here.

[Canary42]

.... oh, and it's a NO from me too
