As if we didn't have enough "temptations" out there ... the merchants are out to get us!
An inside source has informed us that management at a local department store is requiring those sales associates who do not meet their "credit card application quota" to attend "credit card boot camp" to encourage them to rethink the error of their ways.
DD#1 used to work there and said they previously required the employees (who weren't meeting credit app quotas) to rotate being stationed at the store entrance and try to snag shoppers on their way into the store. Now ... it's a several hour special training session they have to attend so they can be taught how to twist the arm of those who are not strong enough to resist their efforts. One associate was so desperate to meet her quota, that knowing DD's B/F would get turned down before they ever submitted the application, she begged, pleaded and promised her first born child to him if he would PLEASE PLEASE just app for her.
Major shopping season is upon us ... step into those stores knowing what you want and don't want. Don't let 'em talk you into something you will regret later.
