"Free Access! Just give us your email."

Admittedly, it's not that hard to create a throwaway alias. I just don't want to do that right now 🙃

You have the button right there for the throwaway.
- The level of laziness is only surpassed by whoever it was that used the bathroom this morning, finished the roll of TP and then left a new roll on top of the tank instead of putting it on the roller. 😬
- Since it says create an account, maybe they also need to create a password?
  
  That little purple button in the email field is a built in tool in FireFox for a throwaway email. They give you something like 2-3 free throwaway email addresses.
Give me a mandatory field and I will give you a latrine.
If you use Gmail, just add a . somewhere in your email address and filter it so that you’re not getting spammed.

ie: email@address.com becomes e.mail@address.com

You’ll still get all the verification codes, etc.
- This isn't really sustainable, email relay is the way to go.
Walmart did this with their wifi recently, you have to enter an email to get access. Of course it makes sense that mobile data doesn't really work inside a giant steel warehouse, but I can't seem to recall not having any mobile data signal at all until my last walmart visit.

I used to keep to myself and look up the location of the item I was looking for online. If they want me to bother a floor person for it though, doing that is highly preferable to giving walmart my email to sell along with any information they can extrapolate from my usage of their network.
