When the future was already happening around them they still did
nothing. Yes, that is stupid. Even WalMart was late to the e-commerce
game and recently invested in (bought?) jet.com so they can catch up.
Check out the JC Penney web site to see a useless disaster. Sears is
just a link for items sold by others.


JCPenney has been a zombie for a decade or more. They were losing
money because people figured out that you don't buy anything there at
full price - wait for the sale. A new CEO decided to change that, so
get rid of all the sales. ...and the customers, too.



Strange how that did not work for JCP but works for BB&B. We never buy
anything at BB&B with out a 20% off coupon.


Ditto. The difference is that BBY paces customers with the coupons.
Also, there are *big* limitations on those coupons. Look at the
exclusions, sometime.
