Yep, I use it all the time at the area supermarkets (works with no less than four different chains).
I predict that someday soon, supermarkets will sell my food purchase history to insurance companies, so when I buy loads of vegetables and such, I use my real number. When I buy wine & bacon -- you guessed it: 867-5309.
Tip #2: They also link purchase records based on debit card account numbers. So pay cash.
Tip #3: if the number doesn't work for your area code, try it with a different area code. (the sysadmins sometime purge a number that is being used by loads of people.)
Also, if you need to provide a zip code, Beverly Hills 90210 works just fine.

That won't help, your purchases can still be linked to yourself with your credit card.
