[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 141879, member: 1233"] I usually just say NO. If they push, I am willing to go elsewhere. I am also willing to comment LOUDLY on whatever strikes my fancy. Even RUDE comments. I rarely need to. I do give out a phone #- the one I had as a child. I also give out whatever string of numbers crosses my fancy. The exception to the phone # deal is ordering pizza. In our college town, the "pranks" played where the kids call in orders to lots of companies to deliver is a BIG problem. So if you want them to start cooking your pizza you must give a verifiable phone #. As I understand this, I am OK with it. But only when ordering from the mom & pop pizza place. I also shop at a mom & pop liquor store. They have ID's me a few times, but never have asked any personal info. Not even of anyone else in line. I refuse to give WM a drivers license. Period. I have not ever been asked for one for movies, or anything but cold medicine. Even superglue and spray paint don't get my ID. They have had to call a manager, and the cashier assumed I would be chastised, but the manager told her to bypass it and not cause problems. I am surprised your WM cards for movies. As far as the credit/debit card, my nose gets out of joint when they KNOW me and keep checking the ID. If they odn't know me, it is fine. The way credit/debit cards are set up, the merchant cannot automatically ID every card use. They can ask if they are suspicious, if the card says ask for ID, or if it is a product with a high theft risk. I have quit going to a number of businesses, simply because they insist on ID with every non-cash purchase. I am with all ofyou on the enough is enough position. I know hte marketing reasons behind it, but it is just marketing. Vending machines were predicted to have readers for credit cards, and other cards. They don't, usually. The tech is there, but too expensive to pay for the info they get. Susie [/QUOTE]
