      I wonder how much they paid Trump, Martha Stewart, Jessica Simpson, etc. to so their Christmas commercials over the last couple years. That actually made me stop shopping at Macy's.

      so sad. Obama if your stimulus plan doesn't work people will turn on your ass like a pack of wolves

      Why do you post this ? We come here to read gossip on celebrities and escape real news like this. If I wanted to read about how our country is going to pot I'd go to CNN.com or some other news source that isn't a blog!!

      I worked for Macy's for over 2 years. All they care about is how many credit cards you open. They pressure you every day to get them. If you don't, they call you in the management office and show you a sheet of how many opportunities you missed on getting a new account. Yes, they follow your transactions.
      I finally left after getting fed up with how they sicked security after the employees to see if they were storing mints and candy under the register.
      Once, they almost took my chapstick until I said 'you're not taking that.'
      But yet we watched time after time as security (who were about 20 yrs old) let people steal shit over and over. They just let them walk out with merchandise.
      To anyone losing their job at Macy's:

      Think of it as a blessing. Find something better. Retail sucks.

      When wolverines are done feeding on a dead animal, they save the rest for later by pooping all over it.

      This was forseeable. That's what happens when you base an economy on crap nobody needs and people freak out and stop buying it. Welcome to the future. I'm just suprised it didn't happen two decades ago.



    17. 17

      wow, why?



    18. 18

      aww i hope that helps so they dont have to close any stores! :(



    19. 19

      Sucks!



    20. 20

      What a shame… that is my moms company

      Thank God! With any luck this store will shut down completely! No one shops at the Macy's in this area, it sucks big time! Lousy sales people at the Pasadena stores have driven people away big time. Both of them attract the low class morons from North Pasadena.

      Maybe they should try cutting their prices!? They are so freaking overpriced and overrated.

      The only companies that are going to survive this are the companies that cut managements pay (can they really live on less than millions a year? *gasp*) and cut their prices. But no one is willing to do it. They would rather go belly-up…..



    23. 23

      They should have started by cutting prices, not jobs.



    24. 24

      Shit, that's really bad news considering there aren't that many Macy;s stores. Will there be a Macy's Thanksgiving parade this year? :-o
