Since I got sick of the long waits, buggy sign-in system and condescending barbers at Sports Clips I had to find a new barber shop. I had used Fantastic Sams way in the past so I decided to give them another try. Overall a good job. The barber (I'm sorry I didn't get her name) was really good, always checking to see if what she was doing was right. And the price is right.
So why only three stars? I am so sick of business asking for personal information that's not required for the purchase of the product or service I'm buying, especially if I'm paying with cash. Smith's doesn't ask for my phone number. Wal-mart doesn't require my email. So why do I have to provide my phone number to a barber (I didn't)? They need a back up system for signing people in who do not wish to provide more than a first name. When I go into any store or restaurant I never think "hey, how can I help these folks with their demographic studies and possibly give them information that can be stolen, sold or simply used to annoy me."
