Will be interesting to see what is on the clearance racks come new years.

I found this to be one of the sillier moves, offend a noticeable percentage of your customers to carry a line of clothing that very few people are interested in. Seriously, how many customers are interested in “tuck friendly” womens(?) swim wear?

I sat and watched a German documentary on fashion lines at stores, and how there is a ‘cycle’ that exists. Stores have a written date on which style ‘x’ (say summer fashion)...must end, and there’s a rack area with 30-percent off. At the end of that 4-week discount period...it gets dragged to a container box, packaged-up and sent to a depot.

The depot ends up in bid-situation....some boxes might go to cheaper places (like Eastern Europe, Mexico, or Brazil). The cheapest bids usually end up in Africa...where some guy ends up with a whole pallet of unsold attire.

I can see some Nigerian guy standing there with eight of such pallets....all ‘pride’ stuff, and trying to convince locals that ‘pride’ means something entirely different from Trans-stuff.

The thought of it gives me the creeps.

No pragmatism. If they absolutely insisted on having garb like that, they could have put it up for online sales. There are other ways to "support the community" than taking up valuable floor/shelfspace for low to no sales items - except maybe for places like in San Fransicko, Oak Lawn vicinity of Dallas and other such locales. They picked it as the defining hill to die upon, sinking the entire ship.
