Forgive my mini rant, but when did it become so hard to just pay for something at a store?

I was at a pharmacy last night to pick up two over the counter medicines for my wife.

That’s all. Nothing else.

I’m paying with debit and after swiping my card, this is what I go through:

1) Do you have one of our super awesome reward cards? YES/NO

NO

2) Would you like to sign up for one of our super awesome reward cards? YES/NO

NO

3) Care to donate to the American Heart Association? $1 $2 $5 NO THANKS

NO THANKS
(In my defense I donated to them the LAST time I was at this Pharmacy)

4) Would you like cash back? $20 $40 $60 OTHER NO

NO

5) TOTAL CORRECT? YES/NO

YES

6) PLEASE ENTER PIN

***

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PURCHASE.

I’m not against rewards cards (well ok, I sort of am but that’s a topic for another post) and I’m not against charitable giving but surely the cashier could have covered all that with me BEFORE I swiped the card?

I can’t help but wonder if this nonsense is a passive aggressive effort to make me switch back to using cash.
