Your contact info please, or not

The other day I was shopping at Victoria’s Secret. Checking out, the lady asked for my postal address.

Postal address?

Yeah, you know, for sending me a bunch of garbage sales coupons and magazines.

No thanks.

In the past, I made the mistake of absentmindedly giving over my contact info to retailers, who in turn barrage me with fliers, mailers, and weekly email promos. This time, I asked the lady at VS why she needed my postal address. When she replied that it was to send me mailers, I simply said no thanks.

Don’t let them bully you. You get enough junk mail as it is.
