I always say "PLEASE don't put me in your database" and never have trouble
(I guess the "please" throws them off), *IFF* I'm paying cash. Once in
Bellevue WA, the !(*#^%^ behind the counter said "OK, I'll just read it off
your credit card!" I made her promise not to put me on the mailing list
but as you can imagine, the deluge started almost immediately. IIRC it
took *three* irate phone calls to the regional HQ or whatever, to finally
get them to stop sending me their junk mail.

Probably misquoting Kramer on Seinfeld: "Why does Radio Shack need your
phone number when you buy a battery? It's a mystery!"
