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.
