Just bought a 2m section of flexible tube for a gas stove, and the sales clerk asked first for my phone number, to which I replied “I don’t have one”. Then she asked me for my name, to which I replied “I’ll pay in cash”. She then insisted it was so “the cashier will call you by name”, to which I replied “I’m not giving you my name, I’ll pay in cash”. [Edit: she apparently got a bit upset when I refused to give info, but ended up entering “no name” according to the receipt]
Am I wrong for not wanting to give personal data for an item paid in cash, in person? No other hardware store ever asks me for my personal info.
if its to call out your name just give what you would to a coffe shop. does not need to be your full name or even your real name.

I use simple names for coffee. Friends do the same. Something easy to hear and understand like Jay, Fay, Lee, etc. They never ask for spelling or ask you to repeat it and it’s easy to hear when crowded.
