Invasion
Posted on:: March 26th, 2003
At the AT&T Wireless kiosk in Sunbury, PA, when I tried to buy a new cell phone charger for $14.95, I was told that the cash register wouldn’t accept the transaction unless I gave them the phone number of my cell phone.
Fortunately, (617) 555 1212 was acceptable to the cash register when the cashier grudgingly entered it.
“It’s not an invasion of privacy,” she called after me as I left, genuinely wounded that I had insulted the integrity of AT&T Wireless.
