Don't forget a DVD rental card at Blockbuster. Yep, they used to ask for it just to become a member but you could of course not fill it in and they would still accept your membership.
I still remember them asking me for mine. Pure jokes.
Here's an article from almost 15 years ago where one of the Blockbuster locations dumped a bunch of customer forms in the street where most forms had people's SSNs on it: http://legalshred.com/east-side-new-york-blockbuster-dumps-customers-records-street/ http://legalshred.com/east-side-new-york-blockbuster-dumps-c...
> The trash pile included recent membership applications, each revealing the customer’s birth date, address, phone number, driver’s license number and signature.
More alarming, each application also contained a credit card number and expiration date, and many included a Social Security number.
Talk about a violation of privacy and leaking sensitive information. This is why you can't trust big companies with anything sensitive.
