• $10,000 cash I wouldn't be carrying - Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, May 10 2013 @ 01:02 AM EDT

They do not require my personal information for any reason when I am paying cash for the product I want.

There have been many times I have purchased products at various retail stores during which the clerk asks "Can I have your phone number?" and I promptly reply "No". I have yet to have anyone refuse to sell me their product.

I had a supervisor once, though, who when attempting to lease a car while on company business was asked for his phone number by the girl behind the counter; when he refused, the girl refused to lease him the car (even though the lease reservation was in the company name and he was attempting to tender a company AmEx card at the time). Long story short, the girl escalated it to her supervisor, who when he came over and heard the issue told her "just put in your own phone number".

I never give anyone my phone number unless it's for my own purposes.
