I figure gay customers could increase 100% it wouldn’t make up for the drop in straight customers.

Sears is sucking wind, too.

I am a "hate buying clothes or looking at clothes" kind of guy, and would never dream of flipping through a fashion flyer ha!

But happened to walk through Sears before Christmas and thought the men's clothing looked OK. There was an outdoor-themed section and I actually spent 90 seconds there (unusual). The prices seemed about right. Maybe this is unique to the PNW, I don't know. Sears Holding still has financial issues but the in-store marketing seemed alright.

What a brilliant management decision that turded out to be.

I like your version better---it is closer to the truth than one realizes.

No the rule is NOT that the customer is ALWAYS right it is the customer may not be right but they ARE the customer so treat them the way you would want to be treated if you were in their shoes.

Great marketing plan. I guess we can say that JC Penney sucks, literally and figuratively.

Rules of Business

1. The customer is always right.

2. See rule #1.

It's as simple as that.

Well, apparently the "brilliance" of Ron Johnson and team has modified that a bit:

1. The customer is always gay (or a supporter of perversion).

2. See rule #1.

3. File for bankruptcy.

They don't care - just like the senior managers at Kodak who are still taking home hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars even after they drove the company into bankruptcy.


Kodak ...

What happens when homosexuality can be detected in the womb and fixed? What happens when homosexuals can use artificial insemination to create gays? What a brave new world we have.

Thanks. That’s one of those rare example of a typo being more accurate than what was intended.

Actually, Sears was pretty much the only normal looking place in the entire mall. Most everything else was WEIRD.

JCPenney? Isn’t that the gay department store?

Just a thought, but maybe MOST folks STILL find homosexuality rather repellent ?

Of course they do. There's a reason kids today still use phrases like, "That's so gay," in a deragatory fashion. It has nothing to do with upbringing, and certainly nothing to do with what they see in the TV / movie / soundbite culture that surrounds them and, rather, tries relentlessly to brainwash them into "normalizing" homosexuality.

Kids know naturally, instinctively, that there is just something sick about a man pushing a penis into another man's anus full of sh**. It's one of those things nobody needs to teach, and it is why homos instinctively feel ashamed of what they are and what they do, and why they suffer the tears of a clown as they march with fake smiles in fake "pride" parades.

You’d certainly think so looking at their catalogs.

He was polite and promised to pass her concerns on to senior management.

Sure he did. No way would this manager risk his job by passing on that message.
The irony is rich. How do you turn back to normalcy and face the wrath of the homo mafia? "Lay down with gays, wake up with anal warts."

JC Penneys used to be a place to go for low priced clothes.

Why should I go to a store to be told how to think.

On the whole, gays are better off than heterosexuals, because most don't have to spend money on children (except for the recent trend)
And gays wouldn't be caught dead in JC Penneys clothes.

I guess Penneys is finding out that there still aren't enough gay families to make up for the other families whose business they lost.

JCP used to have decent clothes at decent prices - and most of the stores had a Big & Tall section for us normal sized guys. The B&T section is still there, but everything in it is overpriced and oh-so-fabulous if you get my drift. I see no reason to go into their stores again - I’ll pay a little more at Belks but they still carry clothes I can wear.
