Best Buy's latest Privacy Invasion.
No link to story just a personal experience. Searched for Best Buy and didn't find anything related to this discussion.
I got to BB the other day as they appear to be the only nearby retailer to have the Fight Club Special Edition DVD for a decent price. I end up getting 2 other DVDs as well and I go to pay for them. As the cashier rings it up she asks me for my phone number. I'm not the worst looking guy on Earth but I know she didn't ask for herself, it's so BB can call my ass up and spam me or whatever. I tell her I don't have a home phone, which I don't, and that was that.
Now the bitch:
WTF?? They had to get some negative feedback on asking for zip codes, so why in hell would they presume to ask for your home phone number? I know we have some BB employees here who might shed some light on this. I found zip code queries annoying enough, but phone numbers are just too much to ask. I don't write checks except for bills that already have my address, I have no credit cards, I pay cash for everything else. I don't want to give away my info to anyone. Would you give BB your home phone? Do you think this is bullshit as much as I do?
