I hate that shit. I mean fuck, that statistical data should be for their marketing people to find out on their own. I just want my shit and to get out of there as fast as possible without having to talk to the cashier.

Give me a 20% discount and we'll talk.

Thats why I try to order as much as I can online. I hate going to stores and getting all that crap.

I get hit at the pumps a few times with the zipcode. It's becoming more common now.

I give out fake zips and no.'s all the time. Why does it matter where people are from buying from your store? You're selling shit arnt you?

Some stores want to know where there customers are from so they know what areas to advertise in. Advertising is very expensive and can be hit or miss so knowing where your customer are can help a lot and save you a lot of money.

All the pumps here ask for zipcodes. My canadian friend has to walk into the store and hand them cash.

The only stores that ask for zip codes here are on or near the strip. They never ask for my phone #. It takes me a second to give them my zip so i don't really care.
