RE:
	... the cashier asked me what my zipcode
        was and entered it into the register.  Looks like they
        want to know where their customers come from so they
        know where to send sales flyers....  Any other guesses?

Around here they determine by zipcode which checks they accept and which
ones are from areas "too far away" from the store.
