Cashiers want personal information - I hate this!

It's not really the cashiers, they are just being instructed to ask for it. But I hate it when a cashier wants to know my zip code or even worse my phone number! Sometimes I make something up, but usually I refuse. I got into a tiff with a cashier at Michaels over it on Saturday. It really burns me up. Particularly with a cash sale, it's just none of their business!!!

i totally agree with this. The other day i bought some cold medicine and it was over the counter medicine and i had to show proof of I.D. to purchase it.

I work for a major chain. And the only time I ask for a phone number is when someone writes a check. It gives the company some way of tracking them down if it bounces. I dont know why they would ask you that if its a cash sale. Next time tell them its un listed..I do believe when they ask for your zip code they are researching the best possible place to build a new store ect.

I have done all kinds of things to avoid giving my accurate infomation. I just hate it that I have to play games when I am perfectly within my rights to just decline, particularly with a cash sale. With check or credit card I can understand more the need for such information. Thanks for your response!
