#1 Does anybody still shop at department stores? Sure they do. They just make sure they shop the sales which can often be as cheap as outlet stores. As easy as the internet can be when it comes to some items such as clothing being able to handle the item and use a fitting room make a big difference. Plus quality counts too. Face it a shirt from Wally World is not going to hold up as well as one from a name store from a quality, well constructed brand. The difference is often in the quality of construction. there is also a reason that items wind up at TJ Max, Marshall's and others. a lot of the time it is merchandise that stores could not move because nobody wanted it. Usually because the clothing is butt ugly. Just my $.02

#2 Coupla years ago, went into the big city to buy some shoes. I own shoes that are still in use after 30 or so years, and have always known that paying top dollar for a quality shoe is always a bargain, in the long run.

Went into Macy's and was appalled. Macy's purchased their presence in Oregon by purchasing the Meier & Frank chain. M & F competed with Lipman's and Nordstrom's. On that visit, it seemed their competition was Rite-Aid.

Quality is important. But it seems pointing this out is easy to ignore. (As newspapers ignore their declining subscriber bases.)
