I know someone who works as a cashier at Sears. She gets $2 for signing up someone for in-house credit, $4 for a real credit card. And she gets yelled at if she doesn't meet her quota (one signup for every $500 in sales). I think it's an idiotic policy from the point of view of a customer who doesn't want a credit card. Because it slows down the line, all this promotion and paperwork is being done at the cash register.
