Penny’s fired the guy who was pushing the gay agenda, and has tried to turn the chain back around. They seem to be making some progress, but the jury is still out on whether the current management can save the chain.

When I go into a Penney’s, for one, it’s swarming with illegals pushing strollers with 4 kids hanging off of them, (and definitely not gays) OR, the illegals are working at the cash registers. The store of my youth is just not the store my youth anymore.
Then the merchandise is so unbelievably tacky and poorly made, I’d rather throw my money into the garbage than buy any of it.
Macy’s is probably re-arranging to stay afloat — but it won’t last long. Folks like us — the ones with any sort of income left, are remodeling, perhaps replacing an old car or two this year, and just generally still trying to hang onto the jobs we have for dear life. I have cut out so much that I’d like to have, but don’t really need ...and that’s what Macy’s offers.
Roger that. I've gotten a good number of coupons from JCP over the past six months, so I've gone there a couple of times looking for things - shoes, pants, etc. Hey, I like $10, or $25 -off coupons as much as the next guy. :-)
Anyhoo, I looked at their merch both times and said "Never mind". Two cracks at it is enough, I doubt that I'll be going back.
Macy's got my business, in both cases. Prices were actually the same or lower than JCP, and I thought that the quality was better.
