The store does not accept Amex cards. So I had to use my visa card. Their card reader did not recognize the card in wireless mode, so I had to insert the card and sign the receipt. So far, so good. Next, I was asked to provide my email address to have the receipt sent to. OK. Next, I was asked to show my ID. So I did. Then they started to write down the ID number (and, if I had not stopped them) possibly other details of the ID. At this point, we cancelled the transaction.
I am shocked and appalled by this illegal practice of recording personal information. I have never experienced such a level of distrust against a customer. I certainly did not feel being treated like a customer whose business is appreciated, but rather like a criminal under investigation. (And there is really no reason to believe so, if you see me in person.) As much as I like the Fred Perry clothing, this store should be investigated by officials for illegal personal data collection practices.
