>Boo, scary websites want to know where you are.

Nothing wrong with being alarmed by a site that automatically plays music and wants to know where you live.

If the cashier at Subway or any other stranger with whom you had minor contact one day asked where you lived wouldn't you be more than just a little alarmed?

What if a major retailer asked for your ZIP code at the register? This happens to me often and is much more analogous to the situation than a cashier asking where I live.
I decline. They don't need to know this.
