Radio Shack wants your address so they can put you on their catalog mailing
list. At every Radio Shack I've been to, I just tell the salesperson I'm
already on the mailing list, and they leave me alone.

if you tell the person behind the counter that you do not wish to give
your name and address (provided you pay with cash) and tell him/her
that you wish the sale to be marked as "cash" or you'll take your business
else where.  This works.  Although Radio Shack (the Corp.) states that all
sales must have a name and address, Most store managers will let it slide
if you threaten to go else where.  Remember that all Radio Shack sales people
get commision (sp.) and the manager is dependant on the volume of sales
for the "Regional Manager of the month" award. 

In short:
	Don't let them push you around.  Stand firm.
