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.
