I really miss when stores just sold products, and not also credit cards and all of your shopping data. Fffffffpphttthh!!!

Not too long until big box becomes like car dealerships. You don’t buy a car, you buy a loan that comes with a car.

Stores absolutely want you to get a credit card. I’m sure they get a share of the interest and fees and for many transactions that’s probably more than their gross margin on the sale itself.
