Okay, maybe I put the cart before the horse with my reply. Sorry.

Still, asking someone’s phone number for no discernible reason, and then asking them their name when they least expect it may raise an alarm. See my other comments.

I have to regularly help my aging mother (and sometimes neighbors) with their phones. The damn thing of every manufacturer having their own Android version(s)/skin(s), and UI/UX designers changing the layout every new version of an app, makes me want to violently slap their collective faces with a large trout

I’d dare say not even Starbucks needs to know your name. You should get an order number/code like everywhere else.

So… “If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide” amirite?

A purchase should be a one time thing. Especially with cash. You give me whatever I need, I give you whatever you ask for. No more interaction. Certainly not asking for my phone number without a valid reason. You wanting to track my purchasing history possibly to sell to third parties is no valid reason.

Agreed. As I said in another comment, I was just having a bad day and may have been a bit confrontational. My bad

It’s not for advertisements. It’s for…uhh…checks notes personalizing your experience. Pinky promise

Nice try! That’s what a Rick would say

Yeah, I feel kinda bad for lashing out at workers.

In my defense, today is kind of a bad day for me, and I may be a bit confrontational when approaching this particular store for reasons

I always found that really weird. Like, what’s the point of self-checkout then? Just hire a damn cashier, or two.
