When did checking out at a store turn into the Spanish Inquisition? Today I bought some hardware at Lowe's and they asked for my phone number when I checked out. I took much glee in refusing, as you might have guessed. As I was purchasing my pants at Penney's, the checkout lady cheerfully exclaimed, "And you'll be using your Penney's card, of course!" Even if I had a Penney's card, I wouldn't use it out of spite. Same situation happened at Kohl's.
When I buy something, all I went them to do is to tell me the price. I can figure out how I want to pay for it all by myself, thank you. Don't ask me for my phone number, zip code, favorite color, body mass index, high school GPA, or any other personal information. Don't try to sell me yet another credit card to enourage me to spend more than I can afford. And don't give me those stupid on-line survey coupons that probably waste enough paper to decimate millions of square miles of forest, thereby causing increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, rising global temperatures, and Al Gore's head to explode.

You really need a George Costanza wallet nowadays because every store has its own discount card or credit card. What a waste of plastic.
