"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!"
You beat me to it. I figure they asked him for his phone nnumber!
They obviously do a reverse search on them because I started to get mailings from RS and other places that I never heard of.
I said then, that if I ever went back in to RS and they asked me for personal info, I was going to walk out and not return.
I went back, they asked for my address and PH# and I walked out.
I've not been in a RS for about 10 years, now.
I will not go in to one, just for that reason.
I suspect they have lost quite a bit of business because of that policy.
(Plus, they are a bit overpriced in my opinion.)
