Ordering a Pizza in 2012!

[FireLion]

Pizzaguy; can you deliver to Kansas City?

Just kidding.

Seriously though, there is too much info collecting and sharing out there. If I want to buy a pair of pants or a pizza, the seller doesn't need to know my whole life story!
On the other hand, if someone stole my identity, all they'd get is a mountain of debt, a closed checking account, and a pi$$ poor credit rating.

There is a lot of information getting gathered, which is actually good for us in a perverse way, since the amount of information gathered is WAY more than anyone can store or make any real sense out of.

Some of the companies that gather information are like dogs chasing cars -- even if they catch it, they can't do anything with it.

Now, Kroger has a very detailed purchase history on my dog. My Kroger Rewards card, and all my other preferred customer cards, are registered to my Dog.

...........I've noticed Tractor Supply and a few other places ask for your phone number even if you are paying cash, I just make one up, first of all I don't want them calling me, and second, if I'm paying cash, it's just none of their business what my phone number is or who I am.

I just start speaking another language when they start asking me anything when I pay cash......

They are just trying to add you to their database, which is indexed via phone number...
