Just bought a 2m section of flexible tube for a gas stove, and the sales clerk asked first for my phone number, to which I replied “I don’t have one”. Then she asked me for my name, to which I replied “I’ll pay in cash”. She then insisted it was so “the cashier will call you by name”, to which I replied “I’m not giving you my name, I’ll pay in cash”. [Edit: she apparently got a bit upset when I refused to give info, but ended up entering “no name” according to the receipt]
Am I wrong for not wanting to give personal data for an item paid in cash, in person? No other hardware store ever asks me for my personal info.
It’s not your fault, but it’s also not the cashier’s fault.
Their boss signed up for some shitty customer management app under the guise that you can get online receipts or see high-value customers and sell to them.
Best you can do it no, sorry I don’t want to give out my information, If i’m going to be tracked, I’ll just buy it online.
Yeah no reason to be difficult. Just say no thank you.
“Sir, the form will not allow the transaction to proceed without this information…”
