Claim:
A method of registering a customer at a service facility so as to improve confidentiality of information provided by the customer upon registration, said method comprising the steps of: providing at a first location a plurality of registration labels detachably attached to a first substrate each of said labels having one of a series of first indicia identifying the position of each of said labels in an uninterrupted sequence, each of said labels further including at least one field within which the information is to be entered by the customer, said first location being a location sufficiently accessible to the customer to permit the customer to view said labels detachably mounted on said first substrate and to enter the information in writing in said field of one of said labels while said one of said labels remains detachably attached to said first substrate; providing, at a second location at a time when said first substrate is located at said first location, a registration log having at least one second substrate, said second substrate having a plurality of label-retaining spaces, and a series of second indicia, said second indicia corresponding to said first indicia to associate each one of said spaces with a respective corresponding one of said labels according to said sequence, each said one of said spaces including an area to which said respective corresponding one of said labels may be attached; detaching a first registration label from said first substrate after the customer has entered the information in said field on the first registration label; and thereafter attaching said first registration label to a corresponding one of said spaces of said second substrate so that said labels attached to said second substrate provide an original record of said writing, said second location being a location at which the entered information on any said labels attached to said second substrate is out of customer view from said first location in order to protect confidentiality of the information.
