The idiots in charge of these stores may find it difficult to find workers for their slave organization.

I do not think people hired as cashiers should be expected to sell or open accounts. That is not the job classification.
I hate it when I go shopping and people want you to buy, open an account or use their charges.
If they expect their sales people to sell shouldn't they be giving them a commission on the cards? This is not a win, win situation.
I am tired of the corporations mistreating their workers and hawking worthless crape down everyone's throat.
They treat consumers as though they are buying machines.

It's the new trend in business to have the cashiers push credit cards . Just look at K-Mart with their Sears card promo or Target trying to get you to sign up for store cards .All the pressure on the lowest wage earners and meanwhile top company officials get the big bonus and raises . If not for the cashiers doing their job , the company would fold .
