Shoe Sensation Ask for phone number Franklin KY

I took my grandson to Shoe Sensation to look for a pair of shoes for him.  We found some and took our selection to the counter to pay.  She ask for my phone number and I asked why and the clerk said that I would not be able to return the shoes without a phone number.  I said I will have the receipt and she said that the receipt has to have a phone number to be sure a "real" person bought the shoes.

  What the crap??  I'm not comfortable giving out my phone number because I don't want a bunch of unsolicated phone calls.  I asked was there some other way to do this and she said Nope!   We walked out and will never go back!
