I won't give my cell phone # to work. As I told the head cashier who asked for it, if I'm not picking up at my home number, chances are I'm in class and not available to work. This means they also don't bug me on my days off, which I usually NEED when I'm balancing 4 classes with 20-30 hours of work a week.
My home number is actually also a cell phone, but I'm less irritated when people waste my minutes on that because anyone I ACTUALLY want to talk to calls my cell. (It worked out to be cheaper to buy a pre-paid phone and a year's worth of minutes than to pay for a local-only land line for a year. After the first year, when the cost of the phone doesn't factor in, it'll be even cheaper per year.)
