Some stores do this. They have a stack of 3x5 cards to fill out and a bin to put them in, and *presto* you're on their mailing list. I would think this works very nice for them, it puts those people on their list *who want to be on it*, rather than those who happened to buy something (and may be from out of town and never return). Last time I was in Radio Smack, I just told the clerk that I was already on their mailing list. (Which was actually true, and I sure don't want to get *two* copies of their ads!)
