The local Lowes always asks me for a phone number. I asked them why they want
that, and they told me it was in case I wanted a refund and didn't have my
receipt.
I suggested that if me or anyone else asks for a refund and doesn't have a
recipt they simply say "no".
I once gave them 800-555-1212, and the clerk dutifully entered it. Neither the
clerk or her computer seemed to have a problem with that number, so I give it
to them every time they ask.
