Every time I went into Radio shack I had to give them my name, address,
phone number, wife's maiden name, first born's name, favorite dogs name

the info and they wouldn't sell to me until I did.


I'd tell them no[*], and they'd still sell to me. Your experience seems
unusual, I frequented radioshack in several states throughout the
70's and 80's.

In any case, you could certainly have lied.

[*] "My name is cash".


Point is it was/is annoying as all get out when the sales clerk is more
interested in getting your info into the computer than selling you
something.
