[escavader]

Stopped yesterday employee insisting I give phone number when checking out. I refused argued for at least a minute before she gave up and rang me out .,had a snotty attitude.very rude.made me uncomfortable
In fact they always do this .none of their darn business what my number is
Ain't nothing there I need so bad to put up with their crap

I love giving them my number. They have me in the system and it keeps a copy of my purchases in the event I loose a receipt. They also email me a receipt for my records

Before we got our store I bought 10 times more Harbor Freight then now, like you I think there attitude at check out is to much, they change prices faster then most people change there socks,have reduced there warranty down to three months , do not have wifi in the store and I receive my price coupons in a email ,paid them there Inside Track dues for a year which was just money out the window so I feel one way or another I will pay more then the advertised prices, all of our farm stores and big box store have all the imported tools now and if they dont ebay does. There usefulness is running out and will have to change there hiring practices or follow Circuit City, K mart and Radio Shack to the grave. I will give credit where credit is due and Harbor Freight can suck the joy out of a new purchase just about ever visit. Best Buy and WalMart have been the ones to make big turn around in there business practice the last few years,service,pricing and shipping is making amazon look bad.

I don't have a problem with giving out my phone number to HF and I have never, NEVER had a call from them. I do get spam calls from other folks that I have not given out my phone number too, but it is easy enough to just hang up. Unless you have an unlisted number, you aren't giving away any secrets, so what is the beef.
I also get email with copy of my sales receipt everytime I shop there (which isn't that often given that the store is 70miles away). Lots of stores (Walmart, Lowes etc) are now keeping track of your purchases so you no longer need a receipt when returning.

Ditto on that. AutoZone does the same for warrantees. Tractor Supply does the same for tax exempt accounts. A lot of places use the phone number as an account index. And when they see I've been a customer for 20+ years, checkout is a breeze and I don't get a second lip about returns or exchanges. I usually pay by check for farm or shop tools or parts and they don't give me a second glance on 3 or 4 digit amounts.

But I can see where Maine would be a grouchy place to be after November 8th.

I never answer my phone unless I know who is calling. It's always on mute, so even if I know who you are, I wont here it. I get a dozen calls a day from all over the country. My phone number is posted on my FB page and it's all over the place. I don't understand what anybody can do with it who has it.
