I am continually impressed how often this works, even at small obscure grocery stores the pattern of (local area code)-867-5309 will always be registered.

I personally use it as a grocery store gas discount code when I'm in areas that have chains offering it. The receipts usually show thousands of dollars per month worth of "points".
Gives me a self-organizing-system chuckle every time.

At some stores (Rite Aid comes to mind) that number is disabled. 281-330-8004, from a song by rapper Mike Jones, works nearly as well as Jenny's.
speaking of using others' numbers, I use 867-5309* for the shopper-loyalty-card number at every retailer that asks for one (in exchange for discounts). I think that dozens of others must use this number as well, as the supermarket receipt sometimes shows totals of $10,000-20,000 per week for "my" account.
*For those born after the 1980s, the song "Jenny (867-5309)" was a hit for the band Tommy TuTone and received significant airplay. It was a catchy tune, and the phone number was the chorus. As such, it's an easy number to remember.
