Sears would do those type of tests, don't know if they still do. Sometimes, I wondered if I put down "strongly agree" to some of the answers, would anybody believe it?

I'd never want to work at Sears. I read about them online and was told about them by a real life friend that worked there. She told me that they expect you to get lots of people to apply for their credit card and if you don't they cut your hours and don't tell you why.
I think I'd have a really hard time working in any cashier position but it would make it even worse being made to try to promote things like credit cards or those loyalty cards that a lot of stores have now. Most customers probably already have them or don't want them.
Well, based on my experience with having worked at Macy's, this is part of the problem with the credit cards - the corporate offices would assign each store a "goal amount" of new credit cards to get each month, and for every one which the store missed, there was a $100 fine. (For example......say the store had 800 cards as a goal, and only got 700 new sign-ups, we had to pay $10,000)
