Im always shocked that retailers still exist. I rarely do in-person clothes shopping anymore.

I had been meaning to go to Macy’s to buy some coats but kept delaying it. So I go today, get some coats, and it turns out they are 60% off for Black Friday even though it’s Wednesday, and even though there is no line/craziness today. So I’m like, “alright, thanks”.

Huge store, so many products, not many shoppers, and they must have a decent amount of unsold product for certain things. Based on what I paid for these coats I can’t see how they made any money from me and this is like, my once-per quarter trip to Macy’s.

I’m glad they exist so I can go sometimes, but I just look around and think “how are you all still here!?”

You’d be shocked to learn the margins in clothing. Often 80%+ so they can afford the 50-60% off to move obsolete inventory and still pocket enough for overhead
