I remember my dad telling them that it was none of their damn business. They got some manager from the headquarters on the phone and dad told them as long as he paid his bills it was none of their damn business to know any personal information besides his address and phone number.
Surprisingly, he was approved and mom got whatever the thing was that she wanted.

I first had a JCP card when I was 18 as a way to start building credit. Eventually, I stopped going in them as they had nothing I needed and were located in a huge mall that could provide better options.
At least 30 years passed and I found myself in Indiana needing some stuff for goodgirl's class reunion. There are not a lot of options out where she lives, so we tried the JCP that had just opened by her.
Same deal, I walk up with my purchase and they offer me 20-25% off if I got a card. I told them I doubt I would ever use it, but she said it did not matter. So I took my discount and never have gone back in one. That was a couple years ago.
