Cut my card up in August 2015 and never looked back.

To be fair, this is the FIRST time I did NO store shopping.

All online.

But then, I guess they should have done well online too.

hmm.

I used amazon for practically everything.

Macy's closing stores. Trump President.

Enjoy!

[Defiant]

Macy’s will have to become an online store at Amazon, and that’s it. But they can still have a parade if they want.

How could this be? Obama, Hillary and the media have been telling us what a great economy this is!

[God luvs America]

Amazon- home for d-bag anti-Trumper jeff bezos...

i use amazon as little as possible...if i see something i like on Amazon i will search for it on the internet to see if i can get the same if not a better deal...99% of the times i do...

as far as Macy’s is concerned- they actually have a well developed web site with some occasional great deals...

I use Amazon a lot. It bothers me because they, too, are liberal.

[max americana]

I avoid AMZ due to Bezos.

[SkyDancer]

Trump’s fault.

I know my family and friends back in Chicago will be happy to hear this. They are still smarting from how Macy’s absorbed and renamed the old Marshall Field department store chain.

Kohl's got rid of my two favorite types of business shirts this year, in favor of their store brand. To date, I've been unwilling to spend two hours trying the fit of all of these new ones. I've bought 40+ of these shirts in the past five-to-six years.

This was done to tie people to just their brand by making it impossible to easily comparison shop the same items.

I may just wear these out while looking at other stores for a brand I can cross-shop.

[FES0844]

When they dumped Trump, I cut up my card. Will never shop Macy’s again.

[I use Amazon a lot.]

Use Amazonsmile.com 5% of the purchase costs goes to a charity of your choice. I donate to “Voice of the Martyrs” It doesn’t seem like a lot, but the donations add up.

[Uncle Miltie]

Malls are where yoots riot.

This is what happens when you cater to a very limited and select group — they are only 2% of the population.

Exactly the same thing happened to JC Penney’s, five years ago.

I shop at Macy's a LOT.....they have CRAP FABRIC on MOST of their stuff!!! CRAP!!!!

Hey Macy's Buyers....there is a WHOLE WORLD of DESIGNERS and Manufacturers out there....BUT SOMETHING NICE so I CAN BUY SOMETHING NICE!!!

[MamaDearest]

I used to buy Christmas gifts for our granddaughters at Macy’s each year; usually coats or something costy. Since Macy’s went liberal-political, I haven’t spent one dime there since. I also avoid walking through Macy’s (and Penneys) on my way to shop elsewhere at the mall.

As they did with the highly respected Rich's chain in Atlanta after they drove the Davison's chain into the ground.
