That’s very short sighted of you. I value my privacy, but 200 euros a month for using a custom ROM it’s a very expensive price.
My company values me, but it’s a large company and making exceptions like this is an accountant s nightmare, specially for a benefit that’s not even part of my contract.
Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:
A ZIP Code is a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS). Introduced on July 1, 1963, the basic format consisted of five digits. In 1983, an extended ZIP+4 code was introduced; it included the five digits of the ZIP Code, followed by a hyphen and four digits that designated a more specific location. The term ZIP is an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan; it was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently and quickly (zipping along) when senders use the code in the postal address. ZIP Code is a trademark and ZIP+4 is a registered trademark of the United States Postal Service, which also registered ZIP Code as a service mark until 1997.
It may be possible to convince them to offer that another way, if you care about software freedom and they care about what you value.

I didn’t mean just privacy but software freedom. I would try to avoid that perk if I could afford it.
I don’t recommend asking for an exception, but for everyone to get the opportunity to get that restaurant perk without needing proprietary software.
If the number in the username is a zip code, they don’t care.

It’s a random number, same as the user. I’m not even on Americas. What’s the story with that zip code?
