Never trust the corporations excuses.
PS: I wasn’t sure if this was a good fit for this community, but I couldn’t think of another. Any suggestions?
Given the amount of analytics and reporting ongoing in retail I have no doubt they have all the info at hand. And they could still directly blame the poor for the poor sales performances and call to invest in better locations. More money from investors and trust is maintained.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been in one of these stores but they were terrible. Like if the merchandising was a complete train wreck, it would require multiple people at multiple levels to admit they fucked up. Plenty of retailers in the immediate area are doing just fine, they can’t even blame the location. They just aren’t setup to provide what people need if it isn’t a big box store.
