Halfords, really !!!

I'm not a lover of Halfords at all, but I needed to pop into my local B&Q today (local is a 100 mile round trip) and Halfords is right next door. There was an item I needed to order online so I decided Halfords would do just this once. I suppose the staff member trying to pry the tailgate lining from a customer's car with a screwdriver should have been enough for me, but anyway. I found the item I was looking for and duly arrived at the till. "Name and email address". "pardon" says I. "name and email address for your receipt". Now, I am normally a very easy going sort but having taken stock of what I was being asked I will admit to having responded in a very loud voice regarding email address farming and my views on it, suggesting that Halfords would need to rise a heck of a lot earlier in the morning to get me to part with my email address for my "receipt". Unbelievable !!
