"I actually had someone refuse to sell me a pack of batteries at Radio Shack when I told him I wasn't giving out my details."
Yeah, I'm sure that Radio Shack is so setting the world on fire with their sales they can blithely turn away customers, right? What an idiot! You probably should have done the Standard Sucky Customer thing and demanded the guy's manager. I would have still not purchased batteries from them, but I would have let the manager know what his idiot employee was doing.
Ask sometime what they need that info for next time you get the question anywhere. You'll get all sorts of half-assed excuses, but not a ONE of them will admit they sell it for marketing purposes. Oh, that's what it ultimately is for, but they would rather have their toenails pulled out with pliers than admit it.
