Good News 1: Nobody shopped there
Good News 2: Data was stored on a TRS-80
They migrated it to a Commodore 64 at the last moment.
I always told them my name was Elmer Fudd
I always gave them made up info. The last time my name was Dale Dump. I also go round & round with places I get hair cuts. They want a lot of info that is no way relevant to me getting a hair cut.
Wow, who would have foreseen this happening...but seriously, I’m pretty certain that this will be stopped quickly by the courts. Bankruptcy does not release them from _all_ of their former agreements. To do otherwise would set an unacceptable precedent in the future, and there’s a heck of a lot more (and personal) data now.
Looks as if it’s time for a class action suit to stop this illegal disclosure of personal information.
That information belongs to the individual, not Radio Shack. Radio Shack only has permission to use it in narrowly defined circumstances.
AT&T has it correct. Destroy the data.
I woner if I ever gave them my phone number. They always seem to ask for it.
Sears is another troubled retailer which asks for a lot of customer data.
Caveat Emptor!
The last time i got my hair cut they asked me if i had guns in the house
For me it was T.E. Sticle
Rusty Shackleford
You sure that wasn’t your surgeon? They cut in different places.
Funny you say that, a freeper once said he gives the phone number of the local landfill to places like this!
ah...supercomputer, Borges! Remember the BBS days....(sigh)
How much did they get for their self-respect?
He was great opened for DEVO at the Great Western Forum
You didnt keep us open.
Here's what you get.
nah nah nah nah nah nah
When they call I hope they ask how the BeeGees are doing...
I was waiting in line at a store and it was amazing that people just give their phone numbers like it’s nothing. I refuse to give my number and usually the poor cashier doesn’t know what to do. If their system is set up so that they MUST enter a phone number I leave. If I REALLY need the items then my number is always 559-555-1212. Go ahead. Call. If Radio Shack is selling customer info then I welcome their demise. I get some stuff their once in a while but absolutely HATE going in to that store. There is some weird creeper that you would expect to see on the post office wall.
