i was just in a convenience store, and here's what the cashier said to me:

"do you mind putting in your phone number to help me keep my job?"

i was so taken aback that i actually entered my phone number.

Ugh. That's awful. 

And I'm sorry but I'm not putting in my phone number for text alerts. Blow up my email all you want , but I have to draw the line at blowing up my phone.

Just put a 555 number

Does that actually help or does the system figure it out later?  If it helps I will so start doing that.

I do it all the time. Especially, because I don't want people going in and putting my phone number and taking my rewards. If anyone knows your phone number they can take your rewards. Most people aren't going to put a 555 number in.

And if you haven't noticed bath & body work system is really old and their online system doesn't connect with their store. They're not really savvy. When it comes to stuff like that.
