Media indoctrination, school indoctrination, the slow death of the rural lifestyle, demonizing of hunters; it's a slow drift but we're moving that way.

Ok, but if you don't want to give your number, don't you want the company to KNOW that? So, if 50% of the numbers they get are bogus, they'll write it off. But if 50% of their customers tell them no, then they might get the idea it's annoying and stop it, don't you think?
Yes, I visit academy a lot when in stilly and okc.
If enough folks from Ponca shop there we might get a store but I'm not holding my breath.
Harbor Freight asked me for phone # the other day, gave my old #. Was a cash sale, caught me off guard.
Absolutely!!
Depends on how bogus you make it. Personally, I think it's a good thing for lots of ammo sales to go to
1600 Penn NW
Washington, DC 20500
Phone: 202-456-1414
You can usually get that past the clerks (most of whom, let's face it, have the IQ of warm tapioca), but when it goes to the analysts, they'll know it's fake...and they'll be looking not only at the data, but at how much it cost them to gather the data.
1060 W. Addison
Chicago, IL 60613
is another great address.
Asked for an SSN? Give 567-68-0515, Richard Nixon's. Again, the clerk won't know the difference, but the analysts will.
Make them work to figure out the anomaly, make the analysts earn their pay.
Cubs fan or Blues Brothers fan?
I haven't been asked for a phone number at the checkout counter in years, but when they did, I'd use the main phone number for OU's switchboard. A friend from college used to make up elaborate personas to give the clerk (Radio Shack used to be really bad about that), then when he was finished, they'd ask him if that was right, he'd say no, why didn't you check my credit card when you ran it...
Giving your phone number at checkout really is the least of your worries. Wal Mart, Visa, MC, Amazon, every phone provider, etc gathers so much data on you personally it's mind-boggling. As an example Wal Mart gathers 2.5 petabytes of personal info every HOUR! A petabyte is 1000 terabytes.
Apple is rolling out a program (or maybe has already) where they know exactly where you are in a store down to the inch! This is beyond GPS. They know exactly which product you're looking at and can use that info to maybe send you a coupon right then and there, or sell it to whomever finds it useful.
All of this "big data" is not considered protected info because they're not selling your name, SSN, date of birth, etc. But the thing buyers of this info can do is use re-identification algorithms to pinpoint who you are. It's getting really creepy out there!
