why do stores ask for e-mails nowadays! - GoFuckYourself.com

digi · 05-22-2004, 09:14 AM

It pisses me off, like I don't get enough spam as it is. I don't want to tell fucking radio shack my name, initial, e-mail etc just because I want to buy some cd-roms. I've noticed clothing stores started doing this too.

Everyone looking to spam these days!

By law they can't force you to give them any information, at least here in Canada. They of course don't let you know that; they want your information.

Cheers,

so they can spam you with thier offers and to sell them to thier suppliers.

DR_PHIL · 05-22-2004, 09:22 AM

BradM · 05-22-2004, 09:26 AM

Or ask what an internet is.

SykkBoy · 05-22-2004, 09:57 AM

I figure if I'm SHOPPING there, if I give them my email address they may actually email me with offers that I LIKE and are TARGETED.

actually, digi, I just give them your email address when I shop
