Why, do you prefer children?

LOL. I'll try that line next time I'm at a store like that. Or maybe

Would you like the extended warranty?

I don't have an extender.

Would you like to put this on your Fry's card?
Did you find everything you were looking for?

You'd be surprised. Many do it to validate their existence - they
matter to someone. I've seen people in line with 20 or more of those
little tags on a special keychain. It's the same sort of pathology
that drives people to collect 10,000 "friends" on facebook.

RiteAid, and others, are more than willing to feed this mental defect
in return for the loyalty of folks giving them money.

I prefer to give my business to companies not building databases of everything I
buy. I just don't want to encourage them.

No wonder they're out of business...

just give out (your area code) 867-5309.

I doubt there's any cashiers old enough to get it.

p.s.

There's a yahoo email address

Owned it for years. Never check it unless I need a valid junk address.

You fill out the form with fake everything, but remember the fake
phone number you use. You just need to give them the fake phone
number.

And never pay with anything that would identify you - even once. No CC, no
checks.

Paying with a check is a very bad idea of course, for multiple reasons,
but when you use a credit card the store has your name and account
number but the bank doesn't provide them with your address, phone
number, SSN, or e-mail address. They can't find out much about you
unless you have a really unique name and a lot of time.

Once they have your name, address, and phone number they have sufficient
information to find most people's other information if they really
wanted to. But you should not pay by check for other reasons.

Yup, it comes down to their roof = their rules, provided they're within the
law. Anyone who doesn't like the conditions of a discount card or return
policy or whatever is free to shop elsewhere. If enough people take their
business elsewhere then the company will change its policies or go out of
business, unless of course it's a monopoly.

IOW, they can't (any more readily than any other means). You lied.

But you should not pay by check for other reasons.

Then why did you say SSN and e-mail address?

Some people are dumb enough to have the SS printed on the check!!!
yup, I've seen it.

A hundred years ago, perhaps, when DL#s and student ID# were SSNs.

I remember that maybe 25 or 30 years ago, when the merchant would write
all sorts of thing on the checks, or when your SSN was also your student
number in college and they would write the SSN on the check if you
didn't have it printed on it. Now I think the check printers won't print
it even if you request it because in many states it's against the law to
mail anything to someone that has their SSN on it.
