I avoid the grocery stores that have ‘loyalty programs’, but when I’m there I always eagerly tell the cashier I’d like to sign up. They give me the blank paperwork and the discount, and I toss the paperwork in the trash on the way out.
Does it mess with the database. Well, I hope so, but for me the point is only to get my grocs at a slightly less rip-off price. Mostly I go to old-fashioned businesses that make money selling whatever they sell, not selling my data.

You want to mess up their database? Just share the account with your entire family and friends. All their data collection would just be noise then.
