Sales plunge 20% after JCP hires Ellen Degeneres as their spokeslesbian and they're calling it unexpected? Fools.

Hire some more queers; run some more queer-friendly advertising...that's the ticket.

Kind of too bad. "Penny's" started out and flourished as a Christian-based enterprise.

That coupled with their decision to no longer have sale prices in a sales conscious world is going to do them in. And I thought KMart/Sears would be gone before them.

I’ll say this about Ellen Degereres: she’s not Rosie O’Donnell.

I have recently seen JCP commercials, which seem to “date back” to the good ole days.

Well my wife shops at Penney’s and the bottom line is that women liked the coupon gimmicks, etc. (they liked being confused, which says a lot about the state of the nation today) She buys less stuff now at Penney’s than she did before the change.

Isn’t this the company that eliminated store sales, lowered prices, and then said customers will now be flowing through the doors becasue of this new pricing policy?

Another retail dinosaur.

When you think about it, physical retail that is working now: Costco, Walmart / Sams, Home Depot. For just about anything else there’s on-line. It can wait.

Plenty of restaurant chains are doing well.

I know more people, including my wife, who wrote off JCP because of the Degenerate one, than their pricing.

They said people are shopping for “social values”.

I wonder what the mark up is on those?

Doesn’t sound profitable to start making political statements when you are on the edge of bankruptcies.

But she wasn’t the first though. Remember the Airplane movie? The gay guy working in the tower yelling There’s a White Sale at Penny’s LOL.

That’s what they get for hiring Ellen Degenerate.

You got that right. I quit buying from them months ago... Ellen Degenerate and then the new catalog is enough. Period.
