For the record, I DO provide phone # for a vendor who has a legitimate interest, mainly pizza delivery and photo printing, as they provide a service before I pay them for it.

We have an agricultural sales tax exemption status established with several appropriate businesses and I do provide phone number to them, as it is the way they can easily verify the exemption status.
Ive workpart time for a high end kitchen store, we are required to ask for zip code and email addresses, frankly i dont care if you give me one or not, but it does annoy me when customers make a production out of it. I would never give out my phone number unless the store has a legitamate reason for contacting me and always give out my old college email address that i havent checked for years. the employee does benefit from collecting these info tidbits.
