It is just me, or is JcPenney having really BAD luck for the past few months?
First they revamp the stores and get rid of their sales and coupons, pissing off a bunch of a bunch their established customers. They "fix" that by raising their new "everyday low" prices, pissing off some customers who liked the new concept. Nice one.
Then they add Joe Fresh to their product lineup, which just happens to be made in that Bangladesh sweatshop factory that collapsed and killed a few hundred workers last week. Nice way to improve your already lousy image, guys. Besides... if I wanted Asian sweatshop clothes, I'd buy them at Target or Walmart.
To make things worse, they create a Twitter account and start asking for customer feedback around the same time. That Twitter account is now being flooded by people calling them murderers for using these Bangladesh sweatshops to create their clothing.
I'm not sure which is worse... JcPenney's luck, or their epicly bad management decisions. What do you guys think?
