No. This is the way.
It's confrontational toeards a person who has no power in this interaction and will only prolong it.
They have a script they're trying to follow so they get get you out of their line and on to the next one. The easiest way out of this is to just lie. It doesn't have to be subtle. Any answer that fits the script works for them. Think of it more like madlibs than lying.
My phone number is 8765309. If they ask an area code, tell them it doesn't matter, whichever is their favorite. If Ludacris's got hoes there, the number goes there.
If they need a name, would you believe it? my name is Jenny. I may be a 6 foot tall Bear looking dude but my name is Jenny.
Yeah you can lie if that's your thing, but that doesn't address or fight the problem, it just passes it off to the next person. Just be honest and up front, it's better.
It's okay to be confrontational. Everybody knows it probably isn't their fault. But they also got mad when op said, clearly, "no", so that's on them at that point.
Another thing to consider: maybe the cashier doesn't know they work for a shitty company. Goons do the bidding of evil people: they may not be evil themselves initially, but they are still the ones doing the actual actions. At the register, designing the database, putting up the servers, serving the companies, processing the data, etc. Everybody's got a hand in this.
Just say no, stop being passive and saying okay. Just say no.
