:) Yup that is my standard zip code when I need it. What I find even more frustrating is that some US stores ask for your zip code when you make a purchase. (Is it ok to refuse?). Being English, I just state that I don't live in the US, but it's not a practice I've ever encountered in the UK.
- kenj0418 16y agoIt usually confuses them if you refuse. When they ask, I live in the zip code 90210 and my phone number is 867-5309.
- cullenking 16y agoOh that was mean mean mean. I don't know how long it will take that song to leave my head now :(
- CapitalistCartr 16y agoYeah, I usually refuse, and they simply enter 99999 or some such. It's only for marketing research, so they don't actually care.
- pmjordan 16y agoIt's happened to me in the UK (and in Austria) from time to time. Mostly seems to be shops with a relatively large catchment area. (something like Ikea, though I'm actually not sure they have ever asked me) Asking for the UK postcode is of course pretty sinister as it narrows it down to a couple of houses. Sometimes they only ask for the first bit. Based on the reactions I've received, I doubt many people opt out.
