How un-patriotic.
I was born in the United States where it is no one's right to know anything about me unless it is needed for legal reasons and approved by a judge in the form of a supena.
The argument for freedom and privacy in this country has never been "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about."
That's Orwelian logic at work.
As for Walmart, they only need that data for the 30 days where a return is valid. After that the only need for your personal information is to bombard you with direct market advertisments (they do sell personal data for a profit you know). WalMart has never been shy about data mining, even with those who use them as an ISP.
But I expect no less from a company that hires elderly workers, takes out life insurance on their lives, and collects the money at their death, all without ever letting the indiviguals family know they profited from their family members death.
