[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 141753, member: 1963"] My current pet peeve is trying to buy allergy medications. Look, I understand that methamphetamine is a big problem, but meth labs don't buy cold medicine a package at a time. I HATE having to go through filling out forms and turning over my driver's license to buy a measely month's worth of tablets just so I can breathe. Especially as you couldn't make enough meth to get one good high out of one pack of allergy pills! Social Security numbers? It infuriates me. The SSN tracking was meant only to track payment into the FICA system and technically it's against privacy laws. Why should I need to provide that to open a utility account or bank account or whatnot? by the way, if you provide a driver's license number, it is linked to your SSN. You want my phone number? Oh, you'll get it, with the numbers scrambled. Birth date doesn't bother me,and clerks are stuck with that one as most modern sales systems won't accept tobacco or liquor sales without either the clerk entering a code stating the purchaser is over thirty or forty, or the entry of a birth date. I don't care about giving my birth date and I don't care about looking over forty. I'm pushing fifty and I look it. I also don't use credit cards though I do have a debit card. Everything is done by cash or direct debit. Zipcode is a demographics thing for marketing. They want to know what sells in a given area. I don't give mine out. It's a MYOB issue in my humble opinion.
