Enterprise asked me where I worked
When I was picking up my rental vehicle Enterprise asked me where do you work and demanded to know an answer. Is this standard policy? They said this is asked of everyone. Seems highly invasive. Frankly it isn’t there business where I work, and what if I was unemployed, retired, etc. Woudl they refuse to rent me a car???

Of course, if you don't like any company's business practices, you are free to take your business to the competition.
I've been retired for a number of years, and have rented from Enterprise a number of times in retirement. I don't recall if I've ever been asked about my employment, but I've never been denied a rental because of being retired.
