This has been a thing since the 1990s when I worked at Radio Shack.

At least they gave me a free battery every month.

I feel sorry for their database because I was a teenager with a bunch of guitar pedals and an ongoing need for 9V batteries. I made up a LOT of phone numbers.

It was only a thing at Radio Shack, and I would never give them my number.
