Hello, I was just at Micro Center Fairfax a half hour ago with a CAT5 cable to buy. When I checked out I was told it was $10.59. Then I was asked my first name, last name, address and email. Is this standard for Micro Center?

Yes. I'm pretty sure you can deny giving them the information though.

Yes. They want to add you to their customer database

Yes, that is how they keep a database on their customers to notify them of deals and such as well as apply any discounts to your account.

Yes, a great sales tool for them and helps reduce fraud, win win for all.

Yup -- but you can decline to give them that information.

I think if you don't want sign ,no problem. If you want order on line you might need to put all your information.

Yes. Standard for most businesses I know of. Customer database management is big priority for most retail businesses.

Yes, they ask me all the time.

Also if you want to return the item and don't have the receipt, they can then pull up your purchases without any hassle

Yes, but you don't have to provide

Yes. That's to inform you of items that are on sale.

Yes, this is standard, it is to sign you up for marketing campaign and special offers, they dont share this info with anyone. If you let them know that you dont want to share, they'll let you move forward with the transaction.
