I would steer away from being rude to the average cashier, and instead complain to their corporate overlords.
As someone who worked in retail, it was equally uncomfortable for me to ask as it was for the customer to answer.

I'm well aware cashiers are people, and want to treat them that way.

tThe initial'no' as presented was completely valid, polite response.
"Do you have a phone number" "No" comes off as you being irritated and will make the staff member feel like a dick for just doing their job.
I'm not saying you must always be polite. If somebody is being a pushy asshole push back. However if you can take a few seconds to make a minimum wage drone not feel as bad about their job its well worth it.
