I hate the credit cards
I’m an employee at Marshalls and I hate hate hate the credit cards. I hate that we get pushed to sell them so much! And it’s not the fact that I have to upsell, I’m used to that and I’ve had to do it a bunch of times. I’m actually pretty good at it when I want to be. However the card just fucking sucks. It’s actually just a scam it literally makes me feel like scum having to asking people if they want it. especially since all our managers make us continue to ask even after a someone says no.
First of all, all the benefits of the card suck down to the interest rate, there are so many better credit cards you could have. Second I’ve noticed that anyone that has the card are people who can more than afford to not have it. Third anyone who wants the card already has it! I get yelled at all the time because I’m not asking but why would I ask! 70% of our customers are people who come in multiple times every week, I know who they are and I know that they ALREADY HAVE CARDS. Not to mention the actual bank they go through sucks, the amount of times I’ve heard customers complain about the card or say that they closed it because it was difficult to pay back.
Not to mention the way customers actually treat you like shit when you ask. I live and work in an area where it’s mixed with the rich upper classes and the lower classes and it gets so nasty. People are so so rude to you when you even start to ask about the card. And look and know it sucks to always be asked but you understand that it’s our JOB right? Like they can actually fire us if we don’t ask. The way I get cut off and yelled at or berated because I ask if they want a credit card. The nicest person will get so rude the moment I have to ask. You can literally see the joy wiped off a person face when you start your spiel.
Anyways I hate Marshall’s and Tjmaxx and home goods, I hate them all. The place is like hell and the people who shop there act like demons. I can’t wait to graduate so I can escape and look for a new job. Thanxx for reading my rant
