It also results in awkward conversations if you have to talk to staff. I had ordered some pet supplies online a while ago registered like this.
Then I go in store more recently and they ask "Do you have an account with us?", I give them that email when asked, which causes them to pause. We went around a few times of them asking what my email was, before getting a manager who thought I was doing something dodgy and decided to try looking up my account by phone number instead of email.
