Here's this week's hypothetical situation for you to cogitate on:
You’ve been made redundant, and manage to score a new job in a high street clothes shop. Yet the manager asks you to try and flog hideous 30% APR store cards to customers with every purchase. You’ve always hated these cards (read the Store Cards guide) and feel bad, but there’s a recession and you need the cash. What would you do?
Previous MMDs:
Should Tina lend to Stina?
Should rich Rich pay for Tom, !!!!!! & Harry?

i would sell them, although id feel awful, but at the end of the day u have to think a jobs a job, and if I didnt do it someone else would, I may be wrong but I think that the consumer has to be told the apr rate, so that would ease my consionusxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0

Being on MSE I know they are nasty - but I have to live0

I would - but badly.
"So. Do you wanna store debt card then?" I would have to apologise to the manager if pulled up on it, as I am not financially trained to sell them.0 -
I would sell them. But Id tell the customer not to spend too much on them at one time and to pay it all off every month as to not pay interest on itBank charges reclaimed: HSBC £1990

push asa short term credit line ONLY- need to make sure they can pay IN FULL, and on time, or the interest soon mounts up.
ithough i cannot see any reason people would want a card thats only usable in just one store..
unless there are some SERIOUS discounts / freebies on offer!
Is there much commission paid, just out of vague interest?Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)0 -
On the one hand they are a total rip off, on the other hand if people are stupid enough to take them so be it. The people of Britain are always winging about how they know best whilst continually subjecting me to a LabCon flipflop, so screw them!0
