the clerk at checkout and they will manually enter the discounted price. No tracking, no need for a smart phone.

While I respect your personal choices re phones, I have always embraced new technology. I got that from my Dad who was the first farmer to adopt such tools as cotton pickers, hay bailers and other 'modern' tools in the late '40s early '50s. Those tools allowed him to cut his labor by days which allowed him to contract out to all the other farmers for a share of their crops. That allowed him to embrace rural electrification and more leisure time to enjoy the first TV in our community.

My smart phone has made my life much easier and helped me organize my time so like Dad I have more of it!
