No, you don't. :-)

This is a classic example of the "obvious" OOP solution being wildly
inappropriate.

The sad thing is, there are a zillion applications out there doing it

Start thinking more in terms of what you want the whole application to
do, and build classes that do THAT, rather then starting with a single
customer and their info.
