I always put a fake number into the Shake Shack kiosk. It hasn't been a problem, since the people sacking the burgers shout out my equally fake name to pick up my order.

If Shake Shack is really texting me that my order us ready, it's going to a prison pay phone a dozen states away.

I have yet to encounter a loyalty card program where local area code + Jenny's number (867-5309) wasn't registered.

Also usually gets you plenty of Safeway Rewards @ Chevron.

This +10 (if I could). Putting in something clever (and thus probably rare, and maybe unique to you) can make it far easier for Borg-tronic Analysis, Inc. to connect all the little data dots about you. A bit of data that is common to a large number of people makes a far better poison for their dystopian wishing well.

as someone that had the misfortune of once working for K-Mart, and having management harass us if to few customers gave phone numbers for their rewards account. There were many accounts for jennys number. Also i purchased many pizzas with her rewards account.

If there's a camera on the front, might want to wear a mask too.

It's still 2021. There's no way I'd go into a Shake Shack without one!

Facial recognition might still work with a COVID mask on.
