If only it were just the zip code. There’s a store near me that refuses the sale if you won’t provide your phone number.

Yeah, it’s the darn phone number requirement.

Was at Lowes.
Asked for phone number.
I declined, they said we must have it.
We went around for a bit.
I gave them my phone.
They entered it into the ‘puter.
Came up as a local restaurant.
More delays, supervisors et al couldn’t figure out the problem.
I looked at the ‘puter screen.
WRONG NUMBER entered, they switched two digits in the exchange...
I hate Lowes and Home Despot.

When they require a phone number give them this one:

202-456-1414

Thanks to the NSA, they have all the data on you they’ll ever need, so why not direct them to the source ??? (evil grin)

I always give the fax number for the pizza shop I worked at in college.

I wonder what they do if you tell them you don’t have a phone. I’m currently without one, but I’d still tell them ‘no’ if they asked for it.

867-5309 that is the one I use in cases like that.

What fun it would be to load up about $100 worth of goods, take them to the register, refuse to give your phone number and walk out.
