The cashier doesn't. Their incentive is to keep the checkout line moving. Sometimes they will even offer you a card at the register to get you a discount (not sure why).
The manager's incentive is to keep customers content and returning.
BTW, what is the significance of that specific phone number?
Because they are told to do so, to get as many customers as possible use the card. My wife automatically answers "no, we haven't got any and are not interested, thanks".

Cashier card is something I don't understand either. Maybe some database somewhere with NOT NULL, so that problem was solved by issuing cashier cards?
that's only a problem if the minimum wage worker behind the counter cares, which I doubt.
Plus those cards often have points or other rewards, e.g. spend 2400 points and get these cucumbers for $1 off, so it's a win for them too.
