There are some retailers for whom annoying the customer appears to be
job one. Whether they're pestering you to get a store credit card,
trying to sell you an extended warranty, demanding your name and address
upon checkout, forcing cashiers to push some high-margin garbage,
requesting to see your receipt when leaving, these stores either don't
realize or don't care how many customers they're driving away.

When you are the customer when able to matter, protest in ways to be
known!

I shop a lot and buy a lot from Target!

Close to 90% of the time, the checkout clerk asks me if I want to save
10% by applying for a Target charge card!
While I applied for the charge card (successfully) in my
inflation-adjusted-biggest purchase within a period of at least 2 years!
10% off again to successfully apply for a Target credit card? I will
decline until I set a new personal record dollar value purchase at Target
- likely within a few years, since I am the main bicycle shopper for an
outfit that delivers food by bicycle and most bicycles that this outfit
that I work for accepted withinm the past 3 years or so were brought in by
me and purchased from Target - I will take the next 10% to apply for
another credit card probably/maybe within 4 years, as soon as I feel good
about taking a trip to Target to buy 2 bikes!
(And I will buy at least 6 boxes of cheap "shredded wheat" cereal and at
least 8 rolls of paper towels and good chance at least $80 of other goods,
maybge a couple packs of disposable batteries and a pack or two possibly 3
of rechargeable batrteries and a charger, best-discounted by that route
when I do that!)
