Why does Radio Shack ask me for my phone number every time I buy any little thing there? What's the purpose of that invasion? I tell them, nope. No phone. And they get all flustered and say "Land line? No. "Cell phone?" No. "Uhh, track phone?" No. Then I ask them why they want it and they say "Management makes us ask for it. Everyone has to give it." That's not a good answer. So then we have a staring contest while the cashier balances his pen over a clip board and looks nervous. No.

And The Dollar Store wants my zip code. Obviously, I have one. Why do they need it? They don't need anything but my money. These people need to stop. Okay then, it's 666. I live in Hell.

oh they HAVE to have it?? or what?? they'll refuse to sell something to you??? fuck them!!! say it's 555-1234....or give them the # equivalent of FUC-KYOU ! :)
whenever a store asks for my zip code i give them newton falls, oh zip which is 44444!
I hate to be rude, it's not the employee's fault, but, it's annoying. Also the reject in back of you gets your number when you give it out. Nothing like giving an idiot your phone number.
I've never understood that policy. It's gotten ridiculous how much private information is asked for these days. We had our landline disconnected a year ago, so I still give that out.
i always make up a #.....it's not being rude, it's basically telling the company fuck you....a lot of those companies then turn around and sell the #s they get to telemarketers....they're making money off your private info....fuck 'em....
They used to ask for my address and I gave them 1060 West Addison for years: Wrigley Field! Depending on my mood I either make up a random phone # or flat out refuse and ask if they want the sale or not. Yankee Candle now has the same annoying practice and state it "generates coupons". Right. You don't have my phone number yet I have a coupon in my hand. Jerks!
And the stupid website info they have to rattle off! Honestly, I just want to be on my way not memorize fucktard dot com. Even my bananas have a website now. It's on a sticker.
LOL Miss Tia! I always give the numerical equivalent to 'eat shit'.
Excellent, Casper! :)
I hate when cashier ask me questions like that when I'm buying stuff. It makes me uncomfortable. I don't want to give them my phone number or address. When they ask me for it I just say "Why do you need that?" not bitchy, just asking because I want to know. They usually give some pointless answer about sending me emails or chintzy coupons and I usually just say "Uh, no thanks." It seems to work. I feel kind of rude but I don't want their shit either.
These are the same stupid fuckers that
tell me to have a nice day. Dude don't tell
me what kind of a day to have ?! Ok ?!
And who says they all have to be nice ?!
Shit if we didn't have any bad days how the
fuck would we know the difference ?!? WTF
do I need their coupons for to come back and
buy more shit like why do never quit ? Why
do you need all this stuff for and besides where
the he'll am I going to put it ?! ? Ugggh I hate
the malls big box bastards demographic personal
space & info selling fuckers. All done under the
guise of customer service my ass ?!!!!!!!! -Kiki :/
I forgot to add that I have used
1-800 -matress as my tel # and
if asked to initial some b/s price of paper F. U.
Along with if anyone asks me how to spell a word.
If I don't give my usual rhyming answer
"WHAT THE HELL ! I CANT SPELLLLL !!!
I will reply with
I
D
I
O
T !!!!!!!!!
That usually gets them to go find a dictionary ;)

I'm bad. I give fake addresses, phone numbers and codes. When I go back to buy something else, I can't remember which code/phone number I gave, so they probably have several entries with my name and various plausible numbers.
Some cashiers put in their store's phone number when I say I won't give mine. Not only are they not entitled to my info, I hate shopping and the quicker I'm out of the store the better. That's how I wound up lying instead of explaining - everybody was left happy that way.
If a sales clerk asks for my zip, I'll give it. Big deal, how many other thousands of people live in the same zip code. But if a clerk says "May I have your phone number/ email address". All I say is "No" and stare em down. They asked a question and I gave my anwser, I'm done with that subject.
I hate to shop, ...I came into your store & found something I want to buy, here's my money, bag my purchase. I'm outa here. I don't want you calling or filling my email box with garbage b/c I'll just delete it. But what really ticks me off is ... "Would you like to sign up for our store credit card". In a word - NO!! I pay cash, don't like bills and only buy what I can afford, don't need your credit. What ever happened to a clerk just saying "Thank you!"
The zip code is to verify that it's your credit card, I've noticed they've started to ask at gas pumps. I work in a flower shop and we have to ask for phone orders since the card isn't present, it's an extra security measure. I wouldn't give out my phone number though, I don't see a legitimate reason for them to ask for it.
they probably sell the phone number.
Anytime that I call to renew my husband's medications by auto-fill I must enter phone #. This crap just started last month. They claim it's for security measures. I think that is bullshit. I don't like it.
