I find it unnecessary to give my phone number to this chain tire store where I'm having my tire patched.
Why don't you want to give out your number?
I don't feel it's necessary for them to have my number. I just want my tire fixed.
They're probably just going to use it for practical means. But you have the right to keep your information private.
They should respect it. I'm trusting that they won't be using it for anything else other than for my tire, even if it's a national chain.
I get what you're saying, you should protect your private information. But understand sometimes it is necessary for locations to require a phone number to update you especially when it comes to a repair.
