Penney's isn't the only one

The apology from J.C. Penney's (NYSE: JCP) in the "We're Listening" campaign seems to be working, at least for now. Customers have been returning to stores in the wake of J.C. Penney re-opening celebrations. During the tenure of a rough year riddled with mistakes and hard-learned lessons, J.C. Penney found that the soul of their customer was driven by super low sale prices and an enthusiasm for home and back to school shopping.

Actually, I was wondering if it was a new way to evade the NSA keyword finders. :)
I haven’t checked out their suits yet. Do they have good service to go along with their clothing? You can’t get any help anymore at Gay C. Pansy.
I decided to go inside and shop at J.C. Penney. It was deserted. I was stunned at the price mark-downs. I purchased a name brand belt, marked normally $25 fro $2.99. I bought my socks at 50% off. I looked at sports jackets, for the heck of it and ended up purchasing a sports jacket for $9.99, that had been marked down from over $125. The store must be on the verge of bankruptcy. My opinion is that they are doing everything possible just to bring in enough cash to make salary and some fixed costs.
This is a store that I use to shop at for decades and just drifted away from. They are not going to be around much longer.
That is the myth on Free Republic. What actually happened was that the new CEO abandoned, threw out, ousted more than a hundred years of how to run a retail department store.
His new way failed totally. He was an idiot who had no clue that his methods would have such a negative effect. The Ellen stuff had some influence but was marginal.
No, it was NOT marginal and is not a myth. In the circles I inhabit, the homo stuff is key to the store's demise - most associates I know stopped shopping there SOLELY for this reason.
It wasn't just the Ellen spokesperson stuff. The in-your-face homosexual ads last year were beyond the pale. Depicting two women or two men with "their children" for Mother's and Father's Day was a sharp slap in the face to tradition, family-oriented shoppers everywhere. They DID sit up and take notice of that betrayal.
We'll see if the reversal on the sales angle alone revives the store. It won't, because it was much more than this.
They had some crap printed on the side of their medium size cups that left no doubt about the intent. I can’t remember the exact wording, but I’ll bet some Freeper here has a pic of the exact printing.I’ll see what i can find
[[No more. We’ve crossed that Rubicon it seems.]]
I do beleive the man of lawlessness is beign let loose- we’re seeign it all over the coutnry- in govenrment, in the violatkion of our inalienable rights, in attacks o nCHristianity, in the promotion of islam etc etc etc-
Belk’s had great service. It probably helped that I had my sister-in-law along since she knows fashion, but there are certain things I absolutely loathe even if they are considered fashionable. Fake pockets are on the top of the list of things I hate and Belk’s was very helpful at finding an equivalent suit with real pockets for only a few $$ more.
Penney's isn't the only one
Disgusting.
It might as well have said, “I could have been out their spreading disease and death.”
No mention of the two mommies or two daddies....AND their official corporate spokes-dyke, Ellen, does not seem to be getting used much to justify whatever they paid her.
Understood. Thanks
Fake pockets?
I’ve only seen those on pajamas.
They haven’t changed much at the top, they are still going to pander to the left and use profits-if there is any- to support leftist causes.
Let them fail.
.like not putting sale prices on all their items that are on sale
Does not matter what store or what product- no price tag—no buy-—
