I've got to agree with this. You're ultimately just being rude to a minimum wage worker who has to follow a script or be fired.

- quantum_magpie 8y agoWhat would be a non-rude approach in you opinion? >can we have your phone number? >Yes. walks away tThe initial'no' as presented was completely valid, polite response.
- TheOperator 8y agoI'm not saying you should say yes to be agreeable. Just be polite but firm. I would say something along the lines of "I don't want to give out my phone number sorry." or even just shaking your head back and forth works. "Do you have a phone number" "No" comes off as you being irritated and will make the staff member feel like a dick for just doing their job. I'm not saying you must always be polite. If somebody is being a pushy asshole push back. However if you can take a few seconds to make a minimum wage drone not feel as bad about their job its well worth it.
