Annoying

Why is it every time you go into a camping world store at the checkout they want you to sign up for credit cards etc and renew your membership even though you have another six months before it expires?

    May be true for Camping World but not other retailers

    I must disagree. I know for a fact stores like Marshall's, Penney's, Beall's and others incentivize employees for opening new accounts. Basing this on information from people I know who actually work(ed) there.

    Now I must disagree! I worked as a cashier, seasonal, for a big box store and there was no incentive for me to get a credit card application or an extended warranty, none just extra time and a PIA.

    But the post was about Camping World and I do not know if those employees get an incentive to up sale or not.

    OK, so the ONE place you worked did not incentivize employees. Fine. Not EVERYBODY does, but many do. Just showing that CW is more the rule than the exception.
