Some businesses do exactly the same thing in the US. It is fascinating to be a bystander and hear how willing most people are to just give over their phone number. And of course, not just the store could be recording it, anybody within earshot could.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoMost people do it to get a discount, or convenience of some sort such as a text when your food order is ready for pickup.
- rootusrootus 5y agoMany times, yes. But even places like great clips do it, and they're not giving discounts. At best, they might send you ads that give you coupons you could have gotten anyway. Always worth remembering, in any case, that someone always registers <your-area-code>-867-5309. Use that to get discounts wherever, like Safeway. I remain a little surprised they didn't long ago put that number pattern on a blacklist.
