Not sure if hypermarkets do the same thing in other countries, but I've seen it in the states and it pisses me off

It is. It was being pushed on me by a cannabis store to get cheaper weed a couple weeks back. So its fresh in my mind. However, not giving out my information has resulted in no spam calls on my phone, and that peace and quiet is worth a few extra dollars.
She claimed they would never sell or use that information except to get me to confirm my phone number in a text.
It reminded me of when I was at Cabela's about ten years ago, and gave them my name and email, only she misspelled my name real bad, and I didn't correct her. I got spam emails for years with that misspelling afterwards.
There is always a price to pay.
