Why does(did) Radio Shack always take your phone number?

They’re still asking for addresses here in Northern Virginia, as of January. A tip to future Radio Shack employees: don’t ask me if you “may” have my address. I thought that last guy was gonna swallow his shorts when I gave him the one-word answer.

By the way, they have notices posted that state that they won’t give your address or telephone number to any other sources. I found the wording of the disclaimer to be admirably Clintonian, leaving no room for “give,” but plenty for “sell.” That might just be my perception. Have you any observations on that point, Astro?
