If you walked into a retail store and were asked to answer these questions before any service would be provided, would you stay or leave?
 
No one needs any information FROM me before I make my decisions. They do need to provide information TO me (at my request) in order for me to make that decision.

There are only two reasons for a site to have requirements such as you describe:

1 - It is poorly designed through ignorance or inexperience. Therefor it is not going to receive any of my sensitive info that would be required for me to make a purchase.

2 - It is poorly designed on purpose. Therefor they want my info for something other than just shopping at their site.

Either way, I walk away.

Sometimes asdf has has already registered and its necessary to adjust the numbers. BTW, his zip code is 90210 and he was born 5/5/55.

It takes about a minute to sign up for a Yahoo mail account if you need a real address.
