One of my friends here in NYC is a lawyer and he has seen them yelling at each other in court. It was apparently a pretty messy split, which sucks for them but is very entertaining as a third-hand anecdote.

Well, if you’re feeling hurt, I have good news: if you enjoyed the Cellino and Barnes jingle between the years 2003-2007, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

We used to do most of our shopping at Hill's. JCPenney was far too fancy to meet our needs throughout the year, but we were allowed to pick one toy from the catalog for Christmas.

I went to a college advertising capstone presentation about 10 years ago, their ‘client’ was J.C. Penney. There were actual representatives from J.C. Penney there too, they were looking for innovative ways to bring back their relevance and it was interesting the variety of ways these students suggested improvements -…

I am about to turn 50, so I have a soft place in my heart for JCP and still shop there. It is hard for me to find reasonably priced clothing for work, that isn’t of poor quality and that will actually last for a few years. Also, for a woman of my age, there aren’t that many places where I can find dresses/skirts that…

Sears was Amazon before Amazon existed, and they could’ve remained a powerful force to this day had they been smarter, since the transition from catalog to ecommerce is logical and should’ve been easy.

I live close to where J(ames) C(ash) Penney got his start in the small store where he started in and bought out to make his fortune & fame. He was only in this CO area for a few years but it’s a classic western main street along the Front Range.  Kinda cool to have that history.

I’ve actually recently purchased things from the JCP in the Manhattan Mall (where I also often use the bathroom) and I gotta say that I still like them for a lot of basics. Their store brands (like Arizona Jean Company) aren’t bad and when I was looking for suits, after striking out at Loft and Ann Taylor, it was the…

Most of the items in my house growing up (in the 80s and 90s) came from Penney’s. Then my family got some money and we moved up to Macy’s when that was still fancy. Most of my work clothes still come from Penney’s, so I really need them to stay in business. (Judge me all you want, but I’m over 40 and over a straight…

I can only speak for their menswear and home goods but everything you said is wrong. JCP put out great quality stuff for a single price that was better than their competitors.

I can give you examples. The Oxford Broadcloth shirt is a menswear staple. At the time, most retailers like Gap and American Eagle, charged $50…

This is so on point - people love to talk about the ‘death of retail’ but retail is actually thriving in places where people have money to spend. I work in apparel, and the gap in performance between the top ~100 or so locations for any given retailer vs. the rest of the fleet is a reflection of income inequality…

1. They had already trained their customers to expect discounts

I would head into our local JC Penny here and there when I wanted to go to Sephora. A while back, if you walked around and looked at their merchandise, they had some great brands and lots of items of very good quality, and it was reasonably priced.
Then, the problem I saw was first off, instead of sticking with their…

The faltering of 2011 is an interesting case-study in behavioral economics. They made products cheaper overall, yet people preferred the higher-priced items so they could get the rush of getting a discount. Makes no damn sense, especially because retailers like Walmart and Target rarely have coupons or (Significant) sa…

I feel like the biggest flaw with her rant is that she’s taking criticism from one (or maybe a few critics) extremely personally, and then lashing out by saying that all of society is the saying this about her. And she’s ignoring that the women she is naming also face their own scrutiny when she’s acting like they…

It’s pretty telling that when white women in media want to rant about the system, and/or how its so much more unfair to them than anyone else in the entire world, they go straight to successful women of color, and often black women, in their fields to make their points and not other white women, or the actual…

And here we have the covert narcissist showing off her plummage in the wild. Note the seamless marriage of martyrdom with a complete lack of responsibility. Truly, we are lucky to see such a magnificent display. 

I think lana believes black women singing/rapping about sex isn’t feminist. I just want one week where white women don’t white women so hard.

I’m just a glamorous woman writing bad poetry and appropriating Latinx culture whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood

For someone who states they're not a feminist this is some real white feminist bullshit.
