A lot of hack comedians loved to rip on Radio Shack for asking for your phone number even if you were just purchasing a pack of batteries. I know they finally quit doing that years ago but it was annoying...

As someone who worked there I can assure you asking for peoples phone numbers, name and address for every little purchase was annoying to the person doing it as well.
I worked with a guy who would pride himself on have a 95%+ names and address rate every month. I hovered around 70%. He seemed to relish in getting that info. I just wanted to make a sale.
