Dread the car salesman who gets my parts orders as a sales lead.

Gets more interesting with some creative cross-referencing of linked in profiles and employee manual pdfs. Doxing 4 duscounts . This is a joke, of course.

That was my whole object with the parts dept. How is it when the receipt with transaction info and proof of payment is all of a sudden not enough proof you bought from them.

True. There's a trade off for getting cheap prices with ordering online with your info. No discount with walk in's, you are paying list prices +matrix. And I asked if I could be on an opt out clause with the stealership. The parts guy simply said there no button to click on to opt out when processing the order.
Yeah it aint that bad OP, especially if you not taking that confrontational energy to deals. There's good dealer's that are easy to work with. Depends on inventory of course.

OP next time the parts desk ask for your number joke that you'll only give it if you can get the shop price. They may well give you it.

On line purchasing

I usually purchase the few parts I need from 2 local dealership parts counter.
A few years ago I bought on line counterfit Honda brake pads that wore out in 17,000 miles. Packaging seemed good but a later detailed inspection revealed flaws as I had saved the box with my old pads in it.
There are warnings by on line you tube repair mechanics addressing this very issue. Since most parts costs are small compared to the time to install costs, I do not mind.
I nearly always hire mechanics if I can observe my vehicle while work is performed.
