When I grew up, the stores around me commonly had those voluntary questionnaires. Each include a bunch of questions that if I wanted to answer, provide the store with market research. Some times even, those stores include a small reward for answering - A chance to win a prize or simply a buck's worth of store credit.

I don't see those anymore. I haven't been asked by a stranger to answer a few questions in years. Even the computer that the fast food restaurant had looks to be gone.



Hmm, it's been a while since I checked but last time I went to Dunkin Donuts they still had that "Get a free donut on your next visit by filling out yada yada yada" on the bottom of the receipt and CVS seems to frequently have contest offers for a small survey. Similarly Tops supermarkets used to have something like CVS's when I used to shop there as recently as a few months ago. Maybe it's only chains now?


I haven't seen any lately, but it is good to hear that it lives one somewhere. I remember seeing survey around 2005 in a online store I commonly visited, but they stopped.
