All the shit companies try to get away with just because they're on websites...
Imagine if you were at a physical brick-and-mortar store and just as you went to check out, an employee stopped you and went, "Nuh-uh-uh! You can't purchase your items until you tell us information about yourself!" The employees would spend half their time just putting away stuff from abandoned carts.
I went to a local battery specialist store to get some $2 watch batteries, and they asked me for my address and phone number.
Confused I said “No thanks, just buying some batteries.” He refused saying “Well I can’t check you out then”, smugly as if I had no choice but to cave and open an account. I simply walked out. He quickly changed to “Oh wait actually we can just-“. Not sure how that sentence ended as I was already gone, ordered two day delivery online.
Yeah my information dean Gilberry, I live at eat my ass, and my phone number is 12 consecutive 5s
