Salesclerk: “Would you like to open a credit card and save 40% on your purchase price?” (Aside - I’m pretty sure the clerk said 40% - I think it was some sort of promo deal since 40% is a lot!)
Customer buying one shirt: “No thanks. If you can’t pay cash, why buy it?”
I guess Americans really are changing and starting to think about what they are spending. I view this as a positive!

I would have done the card opening thing.
40% is a lot.
when they tell me 10% or 15%, I brush them off...
But I wouldn't use the card anyway/be responsible, because I clear the balance every transaction. I'm not scared of those cards.
I would have opened it too, if I purchased over $100. If not, too much trouble.
Regardless of the percentage of the discount, I wouldn't open a credit card just to buy one shirt. But, I do remember a couple of times that I did open a store credit card for some larger purchases: a tuxedo in one case, and computer in another.
