I wanted to buy some basic accessories, and the clerk asked for my phone number. I said you don't need that. Then he said I need your name. I said you don't need that. He said he can't sell me anything without taking my personal information. What the fuck is going on? This shit is new. You can't even buy parts without handing over your ID now? They wanted to put my ID in the system and seemed perplexed and annoyed that I just wanted to pay for what I needed without doing that. I wasn't able to buy anything. I'm fucking pissed.
I do not believe you.
>>536107486>He said he can't sell me anything without taking my personal informationDid he explain why?
>>536107486If this is true that's actually fucked up. Were these some sort of specialty parts they had to order from outside which is why they needed your information in case you decided not to buy ? or were they just basic shit
>>536107486>>536107536>>536107580It's likely for warranty, receipt and core charge purposes.Parts stores take a name and number and keep records of parts you buy in case you have to make a warrenty claim.It's in lieu of a receipt
>>536107536Yes. The owners of the shop want to collect all the transaction info just like Amazon so they can monetize it. I asked him what would happen if he didn't would he get fired? He said yes actually, his bosses are cracking down and the system is now set up with prompts he can't bypass for every transaction. Shit's fucked up in burgerland bro. They want that sweet, sweet data.
It's to pull up your account with them or for them to create a new one in case you want to return it, retard. Did you never work for retail?
>>536107580Tire tubes man. Fucking tire tubes and a patch kit.
>>536107486You didn't kill them a take the part??Bike fags can't stop being fake and gay.
>>536107486Allow me to explain.Import the 3rd world.Become the 3rd world.Scammers gonna scam. The shop is in the right, you are both victims.
>>536107809I don't have an account, I don't want to have to have an account, I just want to buy what I need like in all of human history until recently. Fucking hell why is that wrong? I guar-an-fucking-tee you they're not collecting that information just for warranty and returns, and they give receipts already. Jesus.
>>536107486Sounds like it wasn't all in stock and they'd first have to order something?If you just pick up something they have laying around for sale that shouldn't require anything but money, unless it's an entire vehicle maybe.If however they order it for you it's reasonable they'd ask for that information, and optionally contact you when it's in stock.On the other hand ordering parts for anonymous people increases risks.
>>536108853see>>536107930Off the shelf tubes and a patch kit. It's every transaction. No matter what. They made that very clear.
>>536107486its because they dont keep that shit in stock at the physical location you visited retard. it has to be ordered from a generic wholesaler and they dont want to get stuck with a part in their shop for some retard who never comes back to pick it up because he found it somewhere else cheaper or changed his mind or sold his bike
>>536107930Yea what the fuck
>>536109502Counter point, what's the point of the store if they don't stock the items? Why can't anon just directly order the part from the larger supplier?
>>536109502Read the thread before replying next time, so you don't look like such a fool.
>>536107486TIL radio shack transformed into a bike parts shop.
I took the stock pipes off of my carbureted Twin Cam. I took the baffles out of a pair of Screamin' Eagle pipes and put them on. My bike is so fucking loud. Nothing sounds better than a carbureted Twin Cam with straight unbaffled pipes.
>>536109618most people do. the store probably sells other really common shit at the location like air fresheners and widely used air filters but certain things specific to particular year and model they are going to warehouse that somewhere or order it from a wholesaler that does the warehousing. this is done because as you can imagine there are thousands of vehicle make and models and years and hundreds of thousands of parts and a parts store is not profitable enough to justify a premium retail real estate location big enough to house all that shit. a warehouse of parts would be larger than a fucking costco and the building and land alone would cost hundreds of millions of dollars not to mention the daily electricty and hvac maintanence costs. this is why warehouses eixist in cheap real estate far out of the city in warehouse districts not residential strip malls
>>536109628put the information in the 1st post instead of a whiny generic bitching next time, so you dont look like such a massive cocksucking faggot
>>536107486go somewhere else that accepts cash.
>>536107734>>536107773Just say John Doe and 0. For the number.Fills in their little gay requirements
could have sworn there already existed laws on the books which explicitly disallows companies from tracking their customers.maybe if you dumb niggers knew your rights and sued dumbass companies like this, more gay shit like this wouldn't happen.
>>536107486Just say your name is cash purchase and the number of phones you have is one.Malicious compliance is corpo kryptonite. Cashiers don't get paid enough to enforce truthful compliance. Let the wagiecagie type some bullshit lie and move on.
>>536110384The opposite, the Patriot Act forced Know Your Customer into red letter law. You're enabling terrorism if you don't participate in the global financial panopticon. Even your fucking barber is technically in violation of the law by not recording your name, number, email and photo ID.
>>536107486most of this is a fabrication, but parts of it are trueIt does you a huge favor to have your info in their system. The main reason is when you call or come in next time and don't have or sn or vin handy, boom, there it is with your phone number. Every store has an option to sell to "cash" or, they will just "sell" it to someone else. the selling to someone else is very common, often times it is to give you (a prick) a discount.a lot of stores sell at msrp + a matrix pricing. high volume customers will get list price or slightly lower. every time I go to Napa, my receipt has one of the local dealerships as the customer and I get to enjoy the discount. tl;dr OP is a faggot
>>536110384Amazing how many people itt are trying to rationalize, deny or defend this shit. You people don't believe in what you say you do.
>>536107773Fourth amendment violation, just give fake info and pay cash.
>>536112033>Fourth amendment violationThe Fourth Amendment only applies to the government, numbnuts. Also in this particular case it wouldn't be a 4th Amendment violation for the government to ask for your name and identifying information before conducting some kind of transaction with you.
>>536112185You’re a fucking fag>Hurr only applies to government that means as long as I make a business I can fuck over your human rights broJust kill yourself you’re not American
I was watching a streamer who went to restaurant and they made him give a phone number. The streamer was seated right away too. Why would a restaurant want your number now?
>>536107486No one cares migger faggot
>>536107809You don't need to give personal information for a return, that's what a receipt is for
>>536107486Its their private business. Their rules. Go cry about it on Facebook you fucking loser
>>536112345The entire economy is moving to this model. They're done asking for your personal information for every transaction. Now they're trying to force you.
>>536107486I haven't had this happen, but just about every retail store I go into asks "are you a member with us? would you like to be a member? what's your phone number and name?"No I don't want you be in your tracking database, retail wagie. Take my cash and shut up.
>>536109760nice wide glide
>>536107930I am pretty sure motorcycle tires are tubeless like car tires.
>>536112766depends on the bike/wheels
Have you considered the fact they don't have parts on hand and need to order direct from factory you mental fucking midget
>>536112853Nvm skimmed your post disregard and call me gay
>>536108853Thanks German bro for speaking sense. Basic business acumen. Your contact list is like top 3 important things if you are looking to sell a business.
>>536107486Name: Greasy Enwards Phone number: (123) 456-1488Problem? If this was digitally entered and number verified, give it you google voice number. Its like the spam folder for phones.
>>536109618Many people will say "I need brakes" and that's all, and the store provides the knowledge "alright, you need brekkies for a ford ranger 1500, that'll mean these"
>>536109166Plenty of other parts stores in the market.
