I’ve realized mall stores really don’t want me shopping there. I’m in a wheelchair. When shopping, I use a manual one that my son or husband will push because it’s smaller. I still haven’t been to a department store yet that I can maneuver in. My kids love to walk around malls and get snacks, so we do go. But, I spend…

It’s especially shocking that this happened to Sears. I remember seeing an ad in a vintage catalogue where you could even get, by mail order, everything in a kit like for a dollhouse except it was to build a real full-sized home. They should have been the first to offer online shopping and been Amazon on steroids.…

Well since they make shitty hourly wages, probably don’t go to the dentist because they don’t have coverage and can’t afford it, and are also pretty tired from standing on their feet all day for their whole work life, that might be a kinder and more accurate explanation for their working class lack of beauty. But I…

Or if service-sector jobs paid as well and were as stable as the kinds of blue-collar jobs people want back.

Every time I hear that another swath of K Marts are closing, I worry. My hometown’s KMart (rural NY) is the only non-food store that’s standing. It’s a desperately poor area where many people’s lives are constrained by the fact that always-reliable cars are a luxury, and the KMart is a necessary walkable option.…

Then blame CVS for their terrible programming, not the people who buy something because the ad says it costs this much, only to discover at check out that the $5 coupon they printed you only takes off $3. Especially when CVS then redeems it for the full $5 with the manufacturer. I have no problem stepping aside if…

The comments in articles about the “retail apocalypse” are always so frustrating to me, as someone who has over a decade of experience filling in income gaps with retail work. There are so many people who are so quick to say, “Good, I hate the mall!”

Some of the folks saying it are literally the same commenters that…

I have legitimately spent at least $50 in the past year buying things at cvs for people or giving them money because they were haggling over less than .50 and holding up the line. I just give them a dollar and say ‘look, you made money, can you leave?’.

That’s okay, though, because we have a thousand new coal jobs to replace the tens of thousands of retail jobs we’re losing.

come on now, he was a 50 something-year old kid when that happened, give him a break!

It’s not our place to forgive him and if he really wants me to think he might be an okay guy he can do it at the end of some “where are they now” segment checking in on his new life as a kangaroo farmer or whatever else he is qualified to do. He shouldn’t get to go back to his life doing one of the most overpayed jobs…

Well you know it’s been such a wonderful year and the future looks so bright. Can’t imagine why the attitude’s gone downhill and the snark has increased.

I am willing to forgive and let the man move on, have a second chance if you will

Yeah, how shameful of us to treat an abusive, racist misogynist so unfairly! Fuck off.

And why do you think he did that? Or is it a coincidence that he made no attempt to change his behavior until it hurt his career?

Yeah, clearly in this era of Neo-Nazis protesting in the streets and rampant sexual assault scandals, we should be nicer and more open-minded to abusive anti-Semites.

“apparent personal growth”

Seriously. This hypocrisy and long-term memory loss here gave me whiplash.

The AV Club: “Yeah, I’ll bet Weinstein and Spacey worm their way back into the public’s good graces in a few years. Smh.”

Yeah, it’s a little rude to accuse an entire people of all of history’s attrocities. And it was only one little fight that resulted in his ex filing a domestic abuse restraining order against him.
