Self inflicted. Target is next.
Self inflicted. Target is next.
This goes back to that dope CEO who thought”We don’t need coupons” Yeah right dummy now your compnay is dying and good people will lose their job because of your arrogant stupidity.
“JCPenney, faced with unexpected light sales in mid-April, ...”
Unexpected by whom?
We use JC Penney for two things: (1) it has a hair salon that sells mrs riverdawg’s favorite shampoo at a good price; (2) a shortcut from that end of the mall (on the rare occasion we are there) to the most convenient parking area.
They should hire Bruce Jenner as their “spokeswoman”!
The Penney near us (Dewitt, NY) just closed. I’m sure Sears is next.
You mean Ellen was the beginning of the end for JCP?
Who’da thunk it?
30 years ago I shopped Penney’s all the time...mostly for men’s clothing...but since they brought on a more liberal LGBT theme and hired Ellen a couple years back...guess that did not go over well...I sure got the message. I have not purchased a dimes worth of stuff there since.
Same with Target...you can go to the bathroom with people the same sex as you at lots of stores I won’t let my money darken your evil entry points.
Screw you liberals!
Oh and JCPenney - IF I was shopping at a store that insisted all customers read a verse from the Bible before they check out, I wouldn't act surprised or be offended when liberals decided NOT to shop there.
My suggestion is YOU people at JCPenney should announce you're staying out of politics from this point forward and get on with being a store - not a soap box.
My step son worked there for a short time. One day, I had to go see him there to hand him a car key...it happened to be a day or two before father’s day.
As soon as I entered the store, the sales people approached me. I said no thanks, just dropping something off...but it was like a bad late night skit. I couldn’t move 10 feet without being approached again. I was trying to move fast and not make eye contact...but the salesmen kept coming...and they wouldn’t take no for an answer. I think, by the time I finally found him, every salesperson in the store had talked to me.
So I asked him about it. He said they were required to get 3 ‘no’ answers from a customer. So when I said ‘no thanks’, they were required to re-phrase the offer of help at least 2 more times before going away. And, being next to Father’s day, they had anticipated a large crowd (but they didn’t) and had a huge staff that day. It was a tragic comedy.
As I was in the store, the manager walked by, with a big cardboard sign. He was replacing the 10% off storewide sign with a 20% off storewide sign - and as Dave Ramsey would say, he smelled desperate.
After that experience, I had a notion their days were numbered.
Go away, GayCPansey. Your homo-grovelling isn’t wanted around here.
So.....you tell your $8.00 per hour cashier, who is only getting 28 hours anyway, to go home when she shows up for her shift on Tuesday because home office scrooooood the pooch on expenses.
And we wonder why Bernie Sanders has a growing fanbase.
JC Penny was my go-to clothing store for the longest time.
Then they had their HQ go weird and their line changed.
I noticed recently they had the old line of shirts back that I always bought. If they’re slashing prices, then I might check them out.
I wish. But not likely we are going to do much damage to their bottom line. Best we can hope for is relentless PR disaster. Not too likely either, got to move on the next, latest liberal pervert attack on normal people.
Whack-a-Mole
This should happen to every business that tries to ram “the agenda” down America’s throat. Target should follow but it shouldn’t take as long.
Target will only be affected if women actually care about men using their bathrooms. I’m not convinced they do. And yes, if they really don’t, it is a horrible indicator that we are really far gone culturally.
Target might do this for social justice reasons alone, but I don’t buy that from Trump. As far as I can tell he has the same policy as Target. I don’t buy that he doesn’t know what his women customers think about it, or are willing to do if they disagree. He seems pretty legit at least as far as business stuff goes.
I suppose we’ll get a better indication in a few months if Target is really going to be hurt by this.
Freegards
The only thing I bought there were curtains and drapes. Very nice. I have since found other places to get what I want and dropped them like yesterday’s garbage.
When I got off their email list, I started getting offers in the mail to come back. No thanks. I think it’s been 6 years since I walked into any of their stores. Don’t plan to ever again. Same with Target.
Back in the day, JC Penney got caught raising prices 75% then pretending to have a 75% sale. That got national exposure. They think everyone forgot. I didn’t. They still do it. The last thing I bought there was a lamp. It was $150, got it for $40. Just sell it at $40 ALL THE TIME. Ripping off customers is the death knell for any store. Catering to a specific group is too. They should have built their working woman base up instead but nooooo, they had to go freaking fruit.
I hate to see anyone lose their jobs but they wrote their own obituary for years. Old man Penney must be rolling in his grave.
I used to get all my clothes from JCP. I am rather tall (6', 5.5"), and JCP carried a lot of tall clothing. I once received a big/tall catalog from them by mistake. It had Jason Witten of the Dallas Cowboys on the cover, and lots of items to choose from. I registered with them and started receiving regular delivery of catalogs and coupons, which I often used.
After the doofus took over the company, the many catalogs loaded with merchandise stopped coming. I started receiving occasional catalogs featuring unshaven metrosexuals wearing wrinkled clothing with lots of purple. I received no more coupons. The tall section in their stores became a fraction of their former size. They also started those gay mother's/father's day ads and people started calling the stores Gay C Penny. In short, the doofus ran a company that was already struggling into the ground. One almost wonders if he did it intentionally, the way Obama and the democrats uniparty have ruined America.
RIP, J. Gay C. Penny.
Have the perverts they’ve coddled up to rushed out and saved them? Nope? Didn’t think so. LOL!! Penney’s, you sell (or used to) nothing more than underwear and shirts. That’s all.
You’re no beacon of morality. You philosophically got too big for the britches you sell. You got on a “cultural bent” rather than a retail. You lost track of your real customers, now you’re kaput. But maybe Ellen Degenerate will run out and help you...
I just buy everything online, so I don’t have to go to the mall. Too many trashy people there
i know what’ll help them- announce that men can use women’s bathrooms-
