Her and every over curious website on the web. I think the strip is on the mark. You can guess they are up to mischief when they want to know how many appliances and family members you have in your home. This can become public domain, and open to sell to anyone. He’s lucky she didn’t ask him what brand of of television, and car he had.
Whenever a cashier asks me for my phone number, I give it to them—with one number wrong. That eliminates the hassle of refusing but makes it impossible for them to put me on a telemarketing list.
A town we used to live at there is another family with same last name. They have unlisted phone number and we received more phone calls on their behalf. Also bill collectors called. Local school called about their sons, police called, and a repair man came thinking it was us need appliance worked on. We received in the mail their insurance bill this was easy as the company they have insurance with same town. No never occured to me to tear up the insurance bill.
It’s getting more and more common that stores ask you for all this information, presumably to give you a better service. Like in sending you tons of spam. A copy of the form goes to the crock who made the pot so you can get even more wonderful spam!

I wonder why she has to give out all of that information just to buy a crock pot? I’d go somewhere else, in that situation.

All that info is so that the company can bombard you with acres of junk mail…

Yeah — these days they’d just send the e-mail directly to the crock-pot.

I tell them Retailers "NO " !! Now, do you want me to put it back, or do you want to?…

I thought of that too. Give one number wrong and some unexpected someone would wonder why they are receiving those phone calls.
