Remember the Good Ole Days when buying something at a store was a SMOOTH PROCESS? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 09-11-2008, 07:18 PM

I go to Radio Shack on the way home from work and once I brung the headphones to the counter the cashier asked me..........

Your phone number?
Last name?
First name?
Address?
Have you heard of our new??

To the point where I'm like-"JUST GIVE MY SH*T SO I CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!

anyone else annoyed by the SURVEY EXPERIENCE at the counter?

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 07:20 PM

They do that at every store.

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 07:21 PM

I go to Sam Goody and they ask if I want this and this, I just say no like 5 times and I pay and leave.

InspectorExstead · 09-11-2008, 07:37 PM

i usually just get asked for either my zip code or phone number. but there's always a "would you like to sign up for our credit card...?" i know it's part of their job to sell more things or get people to sign up for a credit card, but no, i've got enough credit cards, thank you.

I know that, I'm saying it makes shopping annoying.

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 07:41 PM

Then don't go shopping if it's that much of a problem for you. Stores ask that while being annoying, cause their job is to sell so much to the customer and offer them deals or what not. When I went to this little store equivalent to Wawa the other day, the woman offered me something I could use to save money on milk. So I took it. Some stores are more annoying then others, espec. ones that sell electronics.

Suddenly shopping online has become more attractive-lol

Mr. Television · 09-11-2008, 07:46 PM

The only time anyone should know my address and phone number is when I'm having a pizza delivered. lol

Wreckless · 09-11-2008, 07:49 PM

Yeah start buying online lol it's way better

sara · 09-11-2008, 08:08 PM

The only thing I get asked for is my zip code.

Courtnee · 09-11-2008, 08:31 PM

When they ask for your zip code, what they're doing is adding to a survey to see what people in certain parts of the country are buying.

Absolutely! The only drawback is not being able to see the merchandise up close before paying, but I buy online all the time and rarely if ever have I had a problem! Online shopping is WONDERFUL!

Radio Shack is the worlds worst when it comes to asking for personal information. I hate going in there.
