Glad I'm not the only one. Radio Shack was my nemesis, as I purchased stuff there often, when prototyping and not willing to wait for next day delivery. I used to get myself worked up before I even got to the store. Over the years, I've optimized it to just a friendly "Nope!" when they ask for a phone number. Doctors offices and dentists offices are another one. Their little 'new patient' form demands much more information than they need. I leave it blank or draw a line through it. When I'm getting my hair cut, since it's a more intimate relationship, I'm reluctant to be quite as rude, so I just tell them that I don't have a phone.
