No doubt, the majority of those workers voted for Obumbo.
Those that did, got what they deserve.
which 5 stores are closing ???
Theres a Macys in Nashville and another in Atlanta
It takes transportation, disposable income, and leisure time to shop there. That class of customer is becoming scarce, and the whales (Vegas term for big spender) are getting more cost conscious, too.
Don’t get me wrong, there are PLENTY of people out there that have all three of the attributes above, but they aren’t the type to shop there. They’re the EBT, EITC, TANF, Section 8, WICs, & ObamaPhone crowd.
If Macy’s wants to attract them, they need to get a Deli in the stores that takes EBT, maybe a full-blown Lotto/Scratch-off Kiosk, and sell beer, wine and cigarettes.
Oh, they also need to install a Mr. Tax (We do it for you right now, and we’ll give you cash instantly - RAL).
So the 2500 will get unemployment, and according to Zero & Nancy that will stimulate the economy. . . .
I used to love going to Macy’s in the 1980s. It was a nice place. They were only in the northeast and California. Then they started expanding rapidly and lost whatever “class” they had. Today, Macy’s is little better than Sears. What a shame.
It’s sad to look back at all the department stores that have closed in the past 30 years. Does anyone remember B. Altman? Now THAT was a classy department store!
I just bought a food processor at Macy’s for $70, marked down from $149.
I have purchased a few other items there that were deeply discounted.
There are nice clothes, but I look at them to get ideas. I’m sewing more these days, because there is a lot more selection when you make your own clothes!
The “Kinky Boots” parade probably didn’t help much either.
Macy’s used to be a good store to purchase men’s clothing.
I don’t shop there but, when I walk through I thinktheir hip hop is oddly out of place for store that should cater to middle and upper middle class.
Their appliance section seems haphazard in layout as well.
A few years ago the company that owned Macys and Hechts changed the Hechts stores to Macy’s in the few remaining and large Malls around Maryland like Towson and Columbia .
This meant replacing products with more expensive products, and raising the prices of products that were continued under Macy’s like certain clothes brands. (its Macy’s so it has to cost more)
I liked the Hecht’s , I dont shop at the Macy’s, its a rip off.
JC Penny, Macys, and other department stores were where the Middle-class shopped. The Middle-class is being killed off in this country so course those stores are dying too.
Macys here in South Tx is still going strong.
We were told that a service economy would replace the industrial economy that was being off shored.
Looks like if people don’t have money, they won’t shop or consume services.
So what is next? Slave labor on the manor system like the days of old?
Trickle up economics.
Pray America is Waking
Means nothing. I heard NBC say the economy is improving. So there!
They didn't even bother with the pretense that their stuff was made in China to lower prices. They're not alone. The most appalling example is crazy-expensive sneakers and shoes made in China, which almost can't be avoided. These companies deserve to go under and hopefully be replaced by responsible local merchants who give consumers a reason to shop locally. JMHO
