Next on my wish list is Radio Shack - everything they sell is crap, and they need your name and address to sell you a AAA battery.

Bigtime! What a crappy and horrible place. The employees are right off the street and are totally clueless about the overpriced goods that they carry. I only go there a few times when I need something simple like a phone jack or audio cables. Even then, I always seem to get an employee on his first day, and he's got to punch in a zillion things on the register to ring up the one item. When it comes time for the inevitable address information, I just feed him completely fictitious addresses like 6969 Skyline Drive and try not to laugh as he dutifully takes it down.

Sam, see my #27. You don't have to spend all that time on a bogus address. Just say, "Cash Sale, DECLINE" and the guy will shut up and take your money. Works every time for me.

What's the issue here? I'm just completetly forthright with them and tell them they can't have my address and they always leave me alone.

Never confuse Radio Shack with Radio Shack.Com. Only three stores...Denver, Phoenix, Atlanta. Can't go to work for 'em UNLESS...You're a card carring Radio Amateur, or were raised on computers instead of Tinker Toys.
