    Hey, you were in my town! Did you wave?

    Probably -- but not in the nice way given some of the people I had to deal with

      Like I said, I can understand the desire to not give that information out. That's fine.

      But lying to the cashier does nothing to stop it. And lying just to make it go faster is it's very own slippery slope.

        I agree. For me, lying does not convey an unwillingness to cooperate. Saying "no, sorry." Does.

        Plus, lying feels a little passive-aggressive for my tastes. I'm way too proud to lie. Lying feels like I don't have the guts to simply be honest and refuse.

          Hmmmm, take a quess. I am picking up two bags of food orders to go. Maybe I am local?
          You don't have to drive very far to be in another zip code. I've picked up "to go" orders from places that were in the next town many times.

          I'm another one who agrees that the stores should not be asking for this info, for the simple fact that I just want to go in, get what I want, pay for it, and leave. I don't want to give out extraneous info. I don't want to sign up for any stupid rewards card. I just want to pay for my stuff and go home.

          Don't get me wrong -- if they ask for a zip code, I'll give it out. It's not like they can telemarket me with that. But I do draw the line at my phone number.

            One time I had to ask a foreign person for their zip code here in the USA and they looked at me quizzically and said "Zeep coat?" Ugh...
