'Now, why do you get asked who you are, and where you live every time you want to make a purchase any more?'

 

I'm confused. Are people asking your name and address when you go shopping?

Get your oil changed at a quick stop place, go to radio shack, soon Walmart and everywhere else.

Why does someone doing an oil change want your ID and address?

 

That's not happening in England, at least not yet.

That tag sounds about as dodgy as they come.

 

Even Big Brother didn't come up with that one.

So they can track your spending habits and sell your name and vitals to other companies. If you change your oil regularly, you're bound to want the new enhanced anniversary edition Star Wars trilogy set on DVD.

I've got a religious friend who says this is all predicted in the Bible.

 

Not so much Big Brother as the Anti Christ. I'm not sure which i prefer.
