the biggest problem with malls is once you've seen one you pretty much have seen them all, they all look and smell, and sound the same.you can video record 30 malls across the country splice the videos together and you would think they are from the same mall!!!
Very true! And what exactly IS that smell? So many malls have it.
Macy's tries to be all things to all people. That's not a successful business model in today's retail scene unless you are online and will deliver to a shopper who never leaves the house.
Best thing that could happen to Macy's would be to see either Sears or JC Penney fail. Sears might not be around in another 2 years. Then Macy's can grab some market share.
Sears and Penneys don't compare to Macy's. They don't have the quality merchandise or the good brands that Macy's has.

I'd rather go to the mall than stand in line at the UPS or post office mailing back something that doesn't fit. Plus, often the quality of on-line clothes isn't all that good.
You must be buying some bootleg crap then. If it is a brand that has a history of quality, you will pay for it. Just like in a brick and mortar store.
Macy's could go under tomorrow and I wouldn't notice.
LOL, same here. I've bought a handful of items from Macy's over the past few years, but in general I find them to be overpriced and the selection is not great, in spite of the sheer amount of merchandise that is on display. The racks are often crowded and disorganized.
You are correct. The democrats have done a wonderful job of decimating the middle class, along with the places those in the middle class shop, like department stores. This is just a continuation of the trend of fewer department stores that has been going on for the past thirty years.
OMG! The simplicity of the blame game as seen here is astounding!

We use to shop at Fields and the stores were clean, the displays were outstanding, the staff professional, then Macy's bought them. We found Macy's to be a large step down, trashy stores, a bunch of trashy inner city ghettos type associates, and a rather discount store type of feel to it. JC Penney seems on par now with Macy's, though Penney's men's clothing is a far better value and the stores are far cleaner, same with Kohl's, Carson's kicks Macy's ass in terms of customer experience.
The last time I went into Macy's to buy something the sales associate asked me if I needed some "halp" and I told him I wanted two men's white shirts and one light blue one, 16 inch neck, 32/33 sleeves, all oxford weave and button down collars and he hands me a short sleeve broad cloth shirt. After that I did nto even bother to describe the ties I wanted. I am a man, I don't shop I hunt. I already know what my quarry is and how much I am willing to pay for it. All I need you to do is get it for me: so know your merchandise and where it is located.
Now I use Macy's entrance to the mall because it has the fewest cars so I can get to Carson's or Penney's without getting cold. I try to ignore their ghetto associates who walk up and ask if I "need sum halp" or if there is anything I "want to ax them" while I remain conscious of what pocket my wallet is in.
I also think many of malls will go bust in the next downturn.
I like shopping in a mall but it seems people are moving away from this culture.
Very sad.
This is pretty much it. Malls are a dying breed. You're already seeing the dirt malls close up. The middle-range malls are on the fence (their saving grace is if they're the only mall around for 30 miles). High-end malls will hang around the longest, if ever die out.
