I tell them 910-555-1212.
Girl put it in, and 40 different lines popped up on her screen. I lol'd.
Then I explained it to her, she was confused.

Similar occurrence at a Weiss supermarket liquor store in NJ,
58 years old, clerk asked for DL, I thought I was getting ID'd.
he starts to pick up one of those handheld bar code readers and I asked what he was doing and told him forget the sale and I grabbed my license back.
This information will inevitably made accessible to everyone to include all levels of government and attorneys to be used against you should it be necessary just like the collection of DNA.

BassPro always asks for a phone number. When I tell them I would rather not they say no problem and enter a 555 number for me. They must get a lot of people who refuse.

I'm one of them that never let anyone swipe my DL into a computer. Not stores, doctors office, nowhere. I never give my email address either. I figure it's none of their business and not necessary. As far as phone numbers, I give them numbers, just numbers. I always keep the hotel key cards too and destroy them when I get home. There's a lot of info on them also.

I get asked for a phone # or e-mail address at checkouts all the time. I tell them I don't give it out. If they ask why I tell them I don't need to explain myself to them.
If that's not enough, the transaction is aborted.

I can't believe anyone bothers to get upset about this "we need your information" policy so common to retail stores these days. When asked for my info, I just give them a name and phone number -- not MY name and phone number, mind you, but they don't know that. No confrontation with the salesgirl, no raised blood pressure on my part, no subsequent flood of junk snail-and-e-mail.

If you always pay with cash, that may work. Use a credit card and it's pretty obvious what your name is.

When I bought ammo at Walmart in the past, they would ask if it was for a handgun or a long gun. I believe the GCA of 1968 requires you to be at least 18 to purchase rifle/shotgun ammo and 21 to purchase handgun ammo.
It’s obvious I’m well over 21, but their computerized register required the clerk to verify and enter my DOB. I’m sure corporate doesn’t trust the clerks and does this to prevent them from inadvertently violating the law.
They never asked me for a phone number. It could be a State requirement, or it could just be store policy. Either way, it doesn’t really matter.
Privacy doesn’t exist anymore, unless you’re totally off the grid. If you’re paying with a credit/debt card, they know more about you than you do! Same hold true if you’re using a shoppers rewards card. If you’re carrying a cell phone, they know where you are and they know where you’ve been! Then there’s NSA surveillance...

Tandy Leather asked for addresses and phone numbers every time, back in the day, painstakingly entering them on a three layer carbon form. I always wondered what they did with the data? One time an old country boy gave his address as “Mommytown.” Since I speak fluent redneck I understood that he meant “Miamitown.” The poor clerk did not understand and kept making him repeat it. The country boy was getting frustrated and kept saying, “MOMMYtown!” louder and louder. Finally he said, “MOMMY -TOWN! Just like, “MOMMY!” Of course this did not help the clerk at all.

Years ago I was checking out at a Krogers and was explaining to the checkout card why I was not interested in a loyalty card. She leaned across the checkout stand and told me "You don't have to use your real name".
If one of you live at 4545 Kimber Lane and wonder why you keep getting so much junk mail for John Moses Browning, my bad.

Well I am a firm believer in two of everything. Two email addresses. One for financial accounts. Another for everything else. So if this forum gets hacked, they don't get the email address I use for my bank.
Two phone #'s. The second is a Google Voice number. Same thing.

Not to drift or hijack, but have you got that escort number handy???

867-5309---let see if anyone know this number??
While in "town" a few weeks ago for dinner I wandered into Bigfoot Bud Shop which is right next to the local watering hole. Bigfoot is one of the 3 pot shops in my tiny local town---6 country miles from home. Inside the shop was a nice lobby area similar to a doctor or dentist office with furniture and magazines. There is another door and a small window. I was bent down looking into the window when it opened. I was asked for ID and chuckled---no hair and white beard should tell anyone I am over 21. I just was curious what all the hoopla is all about and wanted to see what the "store bought" pot experience is all about. They wanted to scan my drivers license. I think NOT A CHANCE was my response. Who knows where that info might end up and on what list? Certainly would not want to find out next time I am picking up a new toy from my FFL. Guess it will have to remain a mystery to me what goes on behind the closed doors of a legal pot shop.

You guys are really funny!
Dude, how did you know my name. No joke, Dude is the first 4 letters of my last name. Every adult male in my family has been known as Dude for several generations.
As to chick magnet, the only chick I care to attract is my wife. Honestly at this age, daddy body and all, I'm not sure if I could attract a Chick-Fil-A sandwich.
Anytime I've done a loyalty card or register for something like Facebook, which I hate, I use bogus information. I lie about my age and what I do and address. On Facebook I put I'm a tattoo inspector in South Beach Fl and attended Possum Trott High school in Possum Trott Kentucky.
What I need to do is memorize a phone number like a mortuary and the address for it.
