Not sure if hypermarkets do the same thing in other countries, but I’ve seen it in the states and it pisses me off

    Canada does it all the time as well. I don’t feel even a hint of guilt denying it. They also want my name, phone number, address and postal code, all of which I refuse to give, even if I can save 25% on whatever I’m buying.

    I’m not a prostitute.

        It is. It was being pushed on me by a cannabis store to get cheaper weed a couple weeks back. So its fresh in my mind. However, not giving out my information has resulted in no spam calls on my phone, and that peace and quiet is worth a few extra dollars.

        She claimed they would never sell or use that information except to get me to confirm my phone number in a text.

        It reminded me of when I was at Cabela’s about ten years ago, and gave them my name and email, only she misspelled my name real bad, and I didn’t correct her. I got spam emails for years with that misspelling afterwards.

        There is always a price to pay.
