Stores asking for full name and phone number?

They use telephone numbers to identify you because you remember your telephone number where you might not remember a customer number. The store keeps records of your purchases so they can accurately target promotions and advertising to best serve the customer.

You can use this reverse phone lookup service ( http://reversephones.info/ ) PhoneDetective is a caller ID application that covers landline numbers, cell phones and business lines. It's a cheap service that works great! It could be used for a much deeper search. You can use it to get hold of different varieties of background reports, and in addition cell numbers, addresses and names.. you can get unlimited reports... I ran with this because I required to verify more numbers. You can get the name, other phone number, address history, relatives, and much more about anyone! The completly free reverse phone lookup generally doesn't provide anything interesting. To get interesting information, money will must be paid. The free searches don't provide considerably more than what may be found through the phone directory or personal information and they simply require your email to send spam. The reverse phone detective search tool does work, but you should use just the service that I posted above. The last thing you want to do, is pay for a service and find the numbers you want to lookup are not available in their directory.

you dont have to give it to them if you dont want to. the hair cut place might so they know when they call your name or if somenoe makes a prank appointment like if you ordered a huge take out at a restauant and disnt pick it up

I stopped going to Radio Shack for this same reason.
