Am I being eccentric ?
Here is how I spent 4 hours at Home Depot.
Because they have a policy and have no way around said policy!
I bought this last week and had it delivered to Home Depot WHY?
well as far as Home Depot (HD) knows I have no email address and no phone number
when they gave me $100.00 discount for opening a HD credit card It took them an hour
to figure out what to do about no email or phone number. It was a $500.00 purchase they had motivation
By mistake gave them the wrong SS number ops
Still got the CARD
this is what I bought
POWERTEC 71550 110" Track Saw Guide Rail Kit for Makita or Festool | Includes 2x55 Guide Rails/Protective Guide Rail Bag/Rail Connectors - Amazon.com[^]
When I got it home I assembled it joined the two track's together worked great this was yesterday
So today I decided to use it and began the assemble this time the track rails would not stay connected YIKES
After 2 hours of fiddling I gave up and packed it up and returned it to HD no issue
HERE is the killer when I got back home I realized I was using the wrong size allen key for assembly SO
I rushed back to HD and explained what I did wrong and that I wanted to pay for the item I returned an hour ago
I don't think we can do that because we created a return document !
The 4 hours I wasted at HD that involved two conversations with the store manager.
Two resolution management employee's on the phone in Utah
And best of all a store sales associate (I am being kind) and I was
She said I can not order without a email or phone number
Could you please come back tomorrow.
Requesting the store manager he proceed to enter a new order for said item
He ask if I use Carrier Pigeons to communicate when I told him I had no email or phone number
Because I knew he was former US Navy "I said NO I use morose code
I was then told I could take the former purchased item home
I don't know if persistence pays off or if someone final over rode the policy?
Telling people you do not have a email or phone number may be stupid BUT
I am tired of spam phone calls and knowing large companies are selling my contact information.
What disappointed me most was Home Depot not realizing the additional cost they would incur not letting
me just pay for the returned item and that this would provided customer satisfaction

Not sure if the incorrect spelling was better than the correct spelling
for clarity
Morse Code
|
|
|

Morse proficiency was removed from Radio Amateur ("ham") requirements a few years ago.
I am curious:
(1) How many CPians actually know Morse code (at least at the Radio Amateur level)?
(2) If you know (or 'have known') Morse, have you made serious use of it, e.g. for a QSL, this millennium?
For myself: (1) At least I knew Morse. I wouldn't claim so today. (2) You must go a lot further back in time!

1. I know a tiny, teeny bit of morse code
2. I use it pretty much every day
My company initials are SOS and my logo is formed of three circles, a gap, three rounded oblongs, a gap, and three circles.

I never learned Morse code, but I earned a semaphore merit badge in the scouts, some 600 years ago, give or take.

Uhhhh - I learned something reading your post, I'm just not sure what. 
|
|
|
|

I am sure it was not informative
Guess I am just too old and remember when business used logic to remedy a customer request
In this case Home Depot would have spent a lot of money to return the item
and offered no resolution that included customer satisfaction
I am sure the post was not a teaching moment
Except I now know how to spell Morse Code

Isn't it a lesser trouble if the email / phone number is just given to HD?
Time taken to delete unwanted mails, messages is much lesser than the waiting time there, isn't it?

I tend to agree
My initial approach to this issue was to give bogus email and phone number
but the Credit Card seems to have my phone number tied to it for fraud so not a practical idea
YES I can delete spam email except at the time I was not using Proton Mail
which in 3 years I have never had one spam e-mail
NOW if I want to communicate with a company I know will spam me I just create
a new Proton Mail email address and delete the email address after I am done with that company
I have used the White House Phone number or BBB but very seldom

Hmm. All I can say is that whoever is actually at "test@test.com" gets a lot of spam that people thought they were sending to me. Similarly 07555-555555 is one unlucky number. Much, much simpler than the hassle of not having comms at all.

Yes I have used my first ever email address when we had dial up
dwight@ezo.net company is out of business
Thought about a bogus phone number did not someone else to get a spam phone call
