Loews lunancy

[HeyBub]

Bought some stuff at Loews today.

"That'll be $13.76" the nice lady said.

I laid a ten and a five on the counter.

"May I have your telephone number, please?" the nice lady asked.

"If I give you my telephone number, you'll call. I'll cuss you out then I'll get in trouble for using obscene language," I said.

"We won't call, I promise," she said.

"I know you won't call, because I'm not giving you my telephone number. How do I know you're not collecting numbers so you can call me in the middle of the night just to talk dirty?"

"No, we're trying to crack down on people who take things, then try to return them without a receipt. But if we put in telephone numbers, we can verify that the item was really bought."

"Oh," said I. "In that case my telephone number is WAtermelon U ate one too green."

Correct answer: "No."

[CJT]

Yes, I do it all the time -- not an issue.

[Joseph Meehan]

If they want a phone number, give them one, anyone. The get mine with two numbers reversed.

So they can pester somebody else? No, thanks. It's none of their damn business what the customer's phone number is, and they are way out of line to ask.

Scam. Like I want my phone number in their database to keep track of everything I buy. Or for DHS to get hold of someday cause I bought one too many boxes of deck screws.

Lots of places already record ID info if they give a refund w/o a receipt, to fight theives who return stolen goods, so no need to collect phone no at checkout.

[kitchens etc.]

"is that you Jenny"? lol

[kitchens etc.]

that's nothing when I went to HD one day my sale came to $19.70 I gave her a $20 then there was a power failure and the "young girl" says to me. I can't give you your change until the power goes back on because the register did not compute how much change was due to you.

where do they find there help on the street corners? oh no ............wait................... even those girls can give you exact change.

867-5309 is the number I always give.
