Back in the day when credit card purchases involved manual imprinting machines to make the carbon paper receipts, companies would usually ask for a phone number when the customer signed.
One time as a kid at a restaurant after my dad signed the receipt i looked at it and said, "That's not our phone number." He said, "They asked for a number. That's what they got."

I give it my old cell phone number. I don't use it but I do use it for store loyalty programs.

The one that cracks me up is “can I get a good name for you” after you make a coffee or to go order.

Sad thing is people that simply just can’t say no. Say no and they’ll stop f’ing asking.
This infuriates me when I’m in a checkout line and people are taking 5 minutes to give their phone number and spelling out their email address for the cashier. Just pay for your shite and leave. Anything else, say NO. It’s not hard and nobody cares or gets offended.

Usually ask what is a good number for them. If they don’t like to give their number, I just make one up.

I still have my original cell #. It's been ported to a VoIP and morphed over the years from my personal line into my business/generic contacts line. I can "turn it off" at will.
My current cell service has its' own # that only close family and maybe 2 close friends have.
Strange, but works.

They've been asking this question since I was a child. And almost 50 now. The needless shite some people find that aggravates them
