Ever been to a Radio Shack? They really do ask for just about everything possible even when buying a dollar or two worth of stuff.

   
Radio Shack Q and A

Do these guys at Radio Shack ever get on your nerves, asking you for a bunch of personal data when you're just there to buy something as simple as a couple AA batteries? I think we should inconvenience these people as much as they do us. A while ago I was in Enid buying a printer cable adaptor and the guy asked me for my name.

"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-johnson" I replied

(blank look of confusion)

"How do you spell that?" he asked, obviously not wanting to know.

"With a hyphen" I clarified

"Once more?" he asked

"Ghosseindhatsghabyfaird-johnson"

"Could you please spell that?" he asked, glancing at the half dozen people waiting behind me.

"Oh... just like it sounds." I said nonchalantly.

Putting down "Johnson", he went on and asked about the address.

"Washburn, Wisconsin, 14701 N.E. Wachatanoobee Parkway, Complex 3, Building O, Appt. 1382b" I replied.

Almost through writing all this down, I said "Or did you mean current address?"

Stopping, he said (becoming irritated) "Yes. Current address."

"Diluthian Heights, Mississippi, 1372 S. Tinatonabee Avenue, Building 14C, Suite 2, Box 138201." I replied quite slowly.

Waiting until he finished I said "No, wait, it's NORTH Tinatonabee Avenue." Annoyed, he backed up and changed it.

"I think." I interjected.

"And is all this correct?" he asked in a standard manner.

"Of course not." I replied, leaving, "If you want my REAL name and address, look at the darned credit card receipt."

A little mean, I must admit, but no jury would convict me... At least, none that had been to Radio Shack.

Thats funny, but very true,the Radio Shack here in Titus county went out of business last year, but it use to be a headache to go in there.  The couple of times I did though, when I got to the counter to check out, and the guy started the "Personal info" stuff, I just started to groan, grab my stomach, and explain to him that I have some of the hottest, most obnoxious smelling diarrhea known to man, and that I need to use his restroom.  It seemed to speed up the process.
