That's one reason stores like issuing their own credit cards - they have the detailed in-store data and summary external data (assuming you use the card elsewhere):

  The exploration into cardholders’ minds hit a breakthrough in 2002, when J. P.
  Martin, a math-loving executive at Canadian Tire, decided to analyze almost
  every piece of information his company had collected from credit-card
  transactions the previous year. Canadian Tire’s stores sold electronics,
  sporting equipment, kitchen supplies and automotive goods and issued a credit
  card that could be used almost anywhere. Martin could often see precisely what
  cardholders were purchasing, and he discovered that the brands we buy are the
  windows into our souls — or at least into our willingness to make good on our
  debts. His data indicated, for instance, that people who bought cheap, generic
  automotive oil were much more likely to miss a credit-card payment than someone
  who got the expensive, name-brand stuff. People who bought carbon-monoxide
  monitors for their homes or those little felt pads that stop chair legs from
  scratching the floor almost never missed payments. Anyone who purchased a
  chrome-skull car accessory or a “Mega Thruster Exhaust System” was pretty likely
  to miss paying his bill eventually.
  
  Martin’s measurements were so precise that he could tell you the “riskiest”
  drinking establishment in Canada — Sharx Pool Bar in Montreal, where 47 percent
  of the patrons who used their Canadian Tire card missed four payments over 12
  months. He could also tell you the “safest” products — premium birdseed and a
  device called a “snow roof rake” that homeowners use to remove high-up
  snowdrifts so they don’t fall on pedestrians.
