The problem is at our local food market (not a national chain) without the swipe card you don’t get the discounts.

My local chain has the discount card thing going. They originally handed me the card and a form to fill out with all of your personal info. Well, I just tossed the form and used the card anyway on the next go-round, and it worked just fine and has ever since. Once in a while the cashier will look at the screen (because all of the embedded info on the card shows up when you use it) so they can see your name and say "Thank you, mister so-and-so". The last time, the cashier looked at the screen and said "Have a good night, mister...customer name!"

Have a good night, mister...customer name!"

I've heard of him. There's a song about him:
