It's funny you should mention that. Everytime I tried to use the store credit card or the new mastercard the clerk insisted they needed a pin #. I was never able to use it in person because they said it had a pin which it did not. I used it online only and it worked great that way. The clerks at my local Target are idiots.

I go there maybe once a year. At one point it was for lower middle class women who thought they were higher class because they would not step into a Wal-Mart. "I drive a Cadillac Escalade, not a Chevrolet Suburban".
Haha!! I know someone like that. I can't be sure she isn't on this board so I won't say who it is but I got tired of hearing how her Kroger was a Kroger Signature, not a regular Kroger. She couldn't even pronounce "Wal-Mart". It always came out "Poor people store" lol.
They made a business decision to CLD you.
Then you mad a business decision to close them.
All is well 
I'm happy for you!
Here ya go. Just found this. But it explains why I did what I did.

I have seen store and job snobs both and hate . I have two stories. Job Story. Person hit my car and did not have insurance. They said they did not have pay because they worked as shift supervisor at xzy. As it turns out xyz was owned by one of my family members. The next day they called into the owner's office. I was there also. They introduced me, their cousin and said I believe you hit his car. Gave them two options 1) pay up 2) loose job. The look was priceless. Much ealier in grade school a former friend refused to ride in my mother's car because it was NOT a Cadilac it was just an Oldsmobile. My mother was in shock. The boy's fathr worked for my father. That is up til that day. Kid had to withdraw next quarter from prep/church school as his parents could not afford it any more since dad was now unemployed.
Dw and I shop at a variety of stores Walmart, Nordstrom, T J Max, Brooks Brothers and know we give Amex and others mixed signals. We like saving money.
Just as a side if you know know who Don Dayton is. The joke was Mr. Dayton bought a new car every year. That's right a new Car a new chevy Impala. His family owned target. He could buy anything.
I'm all for teaching snobs a lesson, but this honestly felt very petty (and retaliatory) to me.

What, you mean because a grade school kid acts in a stupid way you shouldn't immediately fire the father?
Good catch, now it just got even sadder.
