WOW. That is really invasive. I always refuse to give phone number. I don't need more garbage phone calls. I definitely am not giving some rando my name to help track my purchasing more. Geez. I usually stick to no thank you and I don't give that out. If there is a problem, I will leave the stuff on the counter and go to a different store entirely. I have done this in the past due to pushy tactics. I did tell the manager on duty that this is truly invasive and I will not be back though. I was never back as a result. Apparently normal people don't get any privacy anymore :(
First thought was that they were flirting with you.
...I guess not though.
For those times I am Rufus Fuzzgrizzle (that's 4 z's ) from a random place and phone number .. or 555- 5565 now gimme my crap.
I mean come on, when are drug dealers going to start asking for your personal information? What's the world coming to?
Rewards/points redeemable for more of their merchandise would be nice
"I overdosed at César's Palace and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"
I know Radio Shack would ask for your zipcode to see if their advertising spending was working.
That's pretty benign.
Yah, people would always freak out over that "Why do they want my zipcode!?"
I make things up. "Name?" "Jimminy." "email?" "ObamaKillsBabies@Yahoo.com" etc
I usually turn the tables on them by asking for their personal phone number.
Same with telemarketers, because I like to practice languages. Tell me about your insurance policy? What? Why aren't you with your employer if they have the best deals?
