Purchasing Deer Feed at TSC wanted name address phone number???

Mr. P. Izza
905-967-1111

Used it at Canadian Tire a few times. Only one guy at the parts counter ever noticed. He just chuckled and said "nice".
 
If I need a cover name it's usually Haywood Jabloome
Use to be my bar name when I was younger. Some girls thought it was cute,some not so much.

This exactly... they aren't tracking you or your purchases, they don't give a f*** what you are doing with it. There are 2 reasons for them to request this info.

1) They want contact info in case there is a recall, as most people would be using it for domestic animals/livestock which could be valuable (and in close contact with lots of other animals, ie a large farm) and therefore it could be problematic if say hoof and mouth or mad cow or some other contagion was to somehow contaminate a certain lot of their packaged COB or what have you. Along with the contact info, they usually record the Lot #s on the bags purchased so they know who and how to contact if such a case were to arise.

2) There is, at least in BC, no tax on feed if it is for a registered farm so a lot of places keep a name and phone number on record so they don't have to ask you every time and probably also in case they are audited etc.

Long story short, it's not some big conspiracy. No tinfoil hats needed.

^^ This ^^


Some of you tinfoil types crack me up with your unwarranted paranoia.
 
HAHAHA ... Nothing to do with Paranoia just curiosity as no one else asks for this info.
I've bought the same Deer Feed at other TSC stores, cantire and local farm supply with no questions asked.
When I asked why they needed the info I was told "we just do" no one there had a real answer.

Years ago I bought a bag of chicken layer grit (crushed stone of a very uniform size, for chickens to swallow for grinding help in the gizzard) which I was using for a potting mix (yes, plants). They asked for contact information for this exact reason. I don't know how you can screw up rocks, but since it's something ingested by farm animals...

Dunno either, but there was a recall and removal from the market of the diatomaceous earth that I was spreading around my chicken coop to keep the mites at bay.
Apparently Health Canada was concerned about people eating dirt, and ordered it pulled from sale.

So I stopped at TSC yesterday on way home and figured I would buy another bag of Deer Feed (corn, molasses and grain) and i get to the cash to checkout and she asks for phone number, name and address.
I refused saying I don't give that out to anyone and she wouldn't sell it to me, stating it was company policy.
So I ask to speak to the manager and she also confirmed that company policy required all that info for any livestock food..... I tried to explain deer are not livestock and got nowhere.

Needless to say today I stopped at the local farm center and bought some with no questions asked.

Any one else experience this or is it just this store?

That started here some years ago after a break out of the bird flu disease in BC with chickens
After that I had to either give my farm number or name . address, and phone number to buy bagged corn etc
It is still the same here today at the feed store
What you talk about is not new and has been standard here for at least 10 years may be more
Cheers

In 2004, a low-pathogenic form of bird flu made a rapid conversion to a lethal, high-pathogenic virus in a Fraser Valley poultry barn, resulting in the killing of 17 million birds, the largest agricultural cull in Canadian history.

Just wait till you go to buy medications for your livestock or pets. :) These things are in place for good reasons, keeping track of you isn't one of them.

Agree and I add or try to buy what once was off the shelf common sprays to keep the plants in your greenhouse business alive. Now I have to take a course to buy and use what we have for many years prior
