Superstore polisy
Zurawski, Janusz
Why they ask name and tel.no, while you return empty bottles.
This is ridicules. Last time I told them:
My name is Bond, James Bond. My phone is 555-55555
Do the same and watch reaction:))))))))))

I only give them information that I THINK they need. If it's a minor
purchase, I don't give them anything, because they don't need it.

You don't have to give them any info at all. When i buy things there,
and they ask my name, i just tell `em "Johnny CASH". They usually get
the point after that.
With regards to the guy returning bottles...remember, you have no
particular motivation to tell the truth, or provide a legitimate
signature. What are they going to do, hunt you down and try to charge
you with fraud for $0.80 worth of bottles?
Many places where i've used my VISA have insisted on my phone number.
I've told them that their merchant agreement with VISA isn't dependent
on me giving my phone number to them. Usually, though, it's just
grunts doing what they're told, so if they still persist, i just say i
don't have a phone. There's pretty much nothing they can do at that
point.
cheers,
cam

I usually tell Quack Shack that I live at 1315 Vine Street in Vancouver, which,
if it existed, would be in the middle of Kitsilano Pool... ";-/

Actually, I seem to recall that there are laws in place that require
those who sell returnable bottles to redeem them for the deposit.
Presumably you could simply refuse to give them this information
and report them to the appropriate authority should they refuse to
accept your bottles.

Yes, but then the store where you are returning the bottles might ask to see
a receipt to prove that they were purchased there in the first place.
If you are dealing with the Superstore on Marine Drive, about half a block
away in the industrial complex to the east there is a bottle depot where you
can return almost any kind of bottle -- pop or beer -- sold in BC for a
refund.

Of course I don't have to tell them truth, but this is not my point. I just wanted to
say how this whole superstore idea is so stupid.
For other stupidy please read sublect "Speeeed ticket 2"

How about stores who ask you for your personal info when paying cash?
CLee
If at the end of the day the money given out for returned empty
bottles and the number of bottles returned do not match up by a wide
margin..
They could verify if an employee was pocketing some money by adding
in fake returns.
