I was in a BEST store yesterday, and attempted to pay by check. They
asked for ID to verify the check and when I handed them my military ID, they
asked for my driver's license instead. I gave them my driver's license and
they used it and the magnetic strip on the back of it to verify my check. I
noticed on their computer screen that it had all of my info, as in birthdate,
address, driver's license number, the routing number for the bank I am with,
and my checking account number. They also have notices up that say they
index everything by your phone number. I asked them what they were using all
of this information for, and they said for their marketing purposes. I was
so ticked off that I took back the check, went to an ATM, pulled out cash,
and went back and purchased the item with cash. I had to buy the item there,
because nowhere else in the local area did they have the item. Just
something to keep in mind.
