Radio Shack?
All I think of “Can I please have your phone number?” Paying cash, no matter. The clerk just says it louder: “CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER?”
A terrible company policy, that changed me from a frequent customer to a permanent ex-customer.
How could a company devoted to personal electronics fail to thrive in an era in which the market for personal electronics went through the roof?
I wonder if the lessons of Radio Shack are taught in business schools: "How Not to Run a Business 101."
And can I get your zip code?
I have always given a false phone number,or zip,when asked.

When I was young, I bought some batteries and had to go through a rectal exam at checkout. Phone number, address etc. After that I only shopped there when I needed a special part.
