Remember what happened when Trump ran for president in 2015? They were having a fit and he was like, forget about it, no big deal. They dropped his merchandise from their stores. It took longer than most for the boomerang to hit them but here we are.
Go Woke, Go Broke...DAMN, I "USED" to like shopping @ Macy's...guess their head is still stuck in the south end and will never come out!!!!
Was my absolute favorite store in my 20s when I actually shopped and had just me to take care of ....esp the shoes lol so many heels. Ouch. Haha. Sad to see it go woke but fuck em!!
Bad business practice predates any political fads or trends. We used to have a regional dry goods chain called The Bon Marche'. It was high end, on a par with Nordstrom's. Then it was bought by Macy's. Then the low-rent business practices came into play: blocking aisle access with standalone displays and shelving for trendy clothing (making it a pain to navigate to the area of the store you were interested in), almost stocking clothing goods (no matter what kind of trousers you wanted, there was only one style in your size), arbitrary intended outages (looking for formal short-sleeve shirts---officewear---not finding them and being told they were "seasonal" wear...seasons, in an air-conditioned office?), absence of clerks (clothes in hand at counter and no one to be seen), and clothing left in a mess from the previous day's handling. At least they were not posting signs in Spanish (e.g., Sears), but they weren't far from it. I stopped shopping there a long time ago because it was a waste of time, irritating, and a big frustration to search and seek, and find nothing. They went out of business here a few years ago. Customers finally had no appetite for the low-rent crap behavior and better options were available.
Macy’s is no where near the quality of Nordstrom’s with both the inventory they each carry and the customer service.
Our Macy's left some years ago, and I really miss it. I bought a coat with my Macy's credit card and they cancelled my account. Good going, Macys!!
They cancelled your account when you still had a balance?
It happened to Chase in Canada, credit card debt free
I have been telling people for about three years that eventually macy's will divest itself of their herald square location. people don't believe me. well, let's see waht happens in the next couple years.
