HA, HA!!!

Maybe catering your ad campaigns around 1.8% of the population and against the moral foundation of the majority of the population isn't such a bright idea after all.

I had shopped at JC Penney off an on for years. After this guy took over and started his campaign against traditional values, I stopped shopping there.

You have to wonder just WHO is now behind the mirrors in JCP’s dressing rooms, and just WHAT they are doing? Say...what is that low buzzing hum..?

total sales fell 20% while same-store sales declined 19% and gross margins fell to 37.6% from 40.5% as foot traffic in the stores dropped 10%.

My wife bought $790 in furniture and approx. $425 in other items at JCP in Q4 2011. In Q1 2012 (the period reflected in the dismal results above)? NOTHING. She cut them off and will never but so much as a sock ever again.

Obama has made the very same mistake.

Shoppers - like gamblers - do not usually care how much they spend (lose) over time - so long as they occasionally get the thrill of a low sale price or jackpot.

While lower prices every day may make more sense for a shopper's budget - most hard core shoppers are looking more for a thrill of “saving” money - even if they end up spending more overall.

Shopper A goes to a store with low prices and no sales - buys the same 10 items and spends $300.

Shopper B goes to the store with SALES - buys the same 10 items and spends $330 - but is SO HAPPY because ONE of the items purchased was ON SALE - and look how much was saved!!!!

It is a gimmick for not very smart people - like lotto or casino gambling - and no one ever went broke by underestimating the intelligence of the general public.

(80’s joke - F*ck “the General Public”....... I like “the English Beat”)

Johnson came from the alternative universe of Apple. This explains a lot.

Liberals are basically psychopaths who adore themselves and who are under the illusion they are amorally and intellectually superior to the majority - Penny’s customer base.

The liberal authoritarian personality and it’s pack of politically correct lies works amongst liberals or a captive audience - consumer base - like Apple. Normal people walk away from it because it is basically insane and offers no value in the real world where they exist. People like Johnson gets his rocks off sticking his fingers in the eyes of the kind of people who shop at JC Penny’s.

In Houston you can spend 30 minutes walking through a JC Penney and not hear English being spoken once, from the customers or the sales associates.

Their “everyday low price” scheme was bound to fail for this clientele.

I received the summer catalogue in the mail about a week or so ago. I was appalled that one entire spread featured a “partner” family..two lesbians and their adopted children. No where in the catalogue was any advertising for plus size clothes (which I wear). Apparently you can be a lesbian to get attention at JCP; just not a fat person. Go figure!

How were same-sex sales? I'm guessing that, as Jake Taylor said in Major League, they didn't 'quite have the distance'.

Well said.
JC Penny can take Ellen Degenerate and their fags and shove it. I’m done with them.

Penneys is tainted with far left/progressive groups, when I canceled my charge card this morning, Isearched for any conservative group and found none. What I did find was located on Penneys “Heritage of Giving Page” ALL Progressive Left Social Justice groups such as:

Human rights Campaign: Working for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equal Rights

National Urban League: “Occupy the Vote” openly supports Obama and Calls on ALEC to Support Repeal of "Kill-At-Will" and Voter I.D. Laws

NCLR (National Council of Laraza): nuff said

Several other groups listed, did not bother to check out, as all the names were progressive left groups.
