I thought they outlawed lobotomies.
Some ol' hag who used to design housewares for Kmart.
Can you say, 'corporate bankruptcy', boys and girls?
Ron Johnson must have been off his meds to think this 'new' checkout scheme would ever fly. R.I.P., Ron Johnson.
"I am holding my shares until it hit 40.00 in 2 months"
JCP will hit 40¢ before it hits $40. You can bank on it.
The sales tax holiday is disappearing very quickly but the consistently lower prices will continue to pull in the shoppers. Sears, Kmart, and JC Penney will perish but Macy's and Kohl's will likely continue on strong.
It took Ron Johnson less than two years to wreck this American icon.
Someone gotta quickly tell 'em "You're fired!"
Just when you thought that things couldn't get any worse for TUES...
JCP will be bankrupt within a year and a half - you can bank on it.
I hope you've the owner of the cell phone. Perhaps the owner wised up and gave himself / herself a call.
Comeback, as you use it, is one one word (you JCP pumping you).
Where do I go to get one of these 'paid basher' positions? Bashing JC Penney has to be much easier than shooting fish in a barrel. Talk about a gravy train. Sign me up!
Can you say 'perjury', boys and girls?
It'll be another learning opportunity for Ron Johnson.
Boy, you're going to have pump a lot harder than that if you hope to prop this sick puppy up. Tell 'em you saw many shoppers leaving the store with MULTIPLE BAGS. Tell 'em you saw a lady OPENING UP A NEW JC PENNEY CHARGE ACCOUNT. Tell 'em you HEARD A LOT OF POSITIVE COMMENTS ABOUT ALL GREAT CHANGES THEY'VE MADE TO THE STORE! You and I both know that JC Penney has a snowball's chance in Hell of being around a year and a half from now but if you hope rope in more JCP bagholders, you've got to be BOLD. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Some might say it was destined to happen. For years I've been reading reports that America is over-retailed. Now Sears and JC Penney are experiencing their death knells. It's a sad state of affairs but others will pick up the slack. And Ron Johnson will be known for the big buffoon that he is.
Wait a year and be able to buy JCP shares on the pink sheets for just 10¢ a share! Now that's a real dicount.
Does Ron Johnson really think this is a workable solution???
No, pal, you're the one seriously out of touch.
