Well, it's not like you need the JC Penney catalog anymore. What with the internet and all. I don't know, it might start looking good if the toilet paper shortage keeps up.....

Nephew works in their corporate office. Has been in several roles with them over 15 years. Not sure his fate. I’m not supporting big bonuses just before bankruptcy, but you’re not going to get decent management to come in to a severely struggling company and not have some extra financial incentive. They obviously did not save the company but it probably was not saveable.

This is the second of many, Neiman Marus was the first. J.C. penny was dying while it was barely alive for the past several years. Others to follow.

My mom worked at Penneys for years. It was a nice store with good customer service. I like being able to see and try things on before I buy. Guess most people today are too damn fat and lazy to get off their ass and go shopping.Don't know WTF they're going to do when all the stores are closed. I guess they'll just get fatter, lazier and dumber when all that's left is restaurants and bars to spend their free time

Why? Those are the executives that have been working off their asses trying to save the company. They should be compensated for going down with the ship and loyalty.

Can't remember the last time I was in one. I just am not a hard core retail shopper. Not a browser type of consumer.
I know what I want - buy and go about my day. The dept store model doesn't work on me. I'm also comfortable with the e-com experience vs in store so their footprint as a mall anchor store also was a bit outdated for me.

Wore a lot of JCP clothing as a kid. One of my mother's preferred places to shop. Last couple shirts my wife purchased from them 30 years ago started unraveling and coming apart after 2nd or 3rd washing. Have not purchased anything from them since. Feel sorry for the working class folks losing their jobs. However, will not miss JCP...
For all the people saying the executives "deserve" the exorbitant retention bonuses for staying with a sinking ship... How about paying all of the hourly workers and admin staff the same prorata share of THEIR annual salary for a severance package ?

Orion, You know the people who do the actual work and make the ship go mean nothing. It's the Captain and the Pilot who ran the [bleep] aground that are important. And deserve a golden parachute. When she dies for good, the janitor and stock boy will be left with rubber paychecks. I laugh at the stuff I see where people say they will never look at service employees the same after the Kungflu. Bullcrap. If you walked around 6 months ago, nose in the air looking down on those people, it was about you, not them. And corona isn't going to change your flawed, arrogant ash.

20 years ago I bought all my clothes there. The staff was competent and helpful. Gradually, they eliminated staff and dumbed down the remainders. I stopped going there. Now I buy most of my stuff over the Internet--Joseph A. Bank, Orvis, and L.L. Bean. My dress suits will probably last me all the rest of my life. i might try Duluth, after reading that thread. Duluth has a store near here where you can try stuff on.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

I don't think anyone I know ever looked down on the person in that role. They just never believed that putting cans on a shelf, folded towels/pants/shirt on a table or changed the price on the pool noodles in Sporting Goods is exactly a "high skill" and worthy of 30 bucks an hour, a bronze statue and your face on a stamp.
