    bad and sinful

    Lpt: you can use the Bible as an excuse to not push credit cards on customers in retail.

    Deuteronomy 23:19 is quite clear when it says “You are not to charge interest to your countrymen: interest on money, food, or anything that may be loaned on interest"

    Banks charge interest on credit cards.

    If I push a credit card, that is the same as me pushing interest on my fellow countryman, and as I am a devout Christian (lmao no, I have donated money to TST to help pay for their clinics) I cannot in good conscience offer a credit card to anyone.

    So far no retail manager has pushed back on it. Probably because they know I’m full of shit but if pressed I absolutely will make it a problem for them, and since I’m solidly in the Bible belt of the US (send help please), nobody wants to chance a court case.
