So I saw Amazon now offers 1 day shipping to prime members. Are we going to see a further downturn of retail as we know it with other providerbeing forced to mimic the same behavior

learnincurve posted:Um. 3% margin on 60b isnt great man. Not a lot of room for error there When a retail company expands to a new location even when the new store is not open payroll is still spinning, having such a low margin means its a rush to get every new location cash flow positive as soon as possible.

Someone will break up these trusts. I doubt trump will. Down the road if we see more and more retail collapses amazon could hit monopoly level and get broken into pieces.

Malls are really ficking hard to remodel for anything else due to the circular support system and little to no middle support . You have to get a structural engineer to redesign the building and theyre gonna take a fat %.

Magius1337est posted:This makes sense when you realize all the CEOs in charge came from the 80s and grew up during that whole "greed is good" and so they only look at min-maxing the short term gains at the cost of long term growth because the belief was that you could dick customers and always flip the stock onto new suckers once it grew enough. While many corporate raiders existed in the 80s incl. Trump . Not every CEO was out for greed. Look at revlons CEO or Nucorp in the 1980s. Or circuit city before the fall

JustJeff88 posted:I reeeeaaallly don't like buying any type of clothes online as I cannot try them on first and it's usually both costly and a pain in the arse to exchange/refund. As for the latter bit, I will look into it. Haven't a seen a shoemaker/cobbler/Duke of Wellington in yonks. Lemme just say if a shurt doesnt fit from amazon i usually buy a new one and toss the old one. The process of returning poo poo is way to time consuming

Mister Facetious posted:I'm more curious about employee theft; workers are payed so loving little that I'm amazed spontaneous organized crime rings don't pop up in Walmarts around the continent. They do. Trust me employee theft is the major proponent of item theft. I kbow a poster above states wage theft is huge. But item wise employee theft is the biggest loss for a company. Beachcomber posted:This was drilled into us repeatedly during our training, and that people who know they've been noticed are much less likely to steal anything. Even as much as the anti Union stuff. You are right. Saying HI can scare people into not stealing. Putting a fat old lady in a security vest can deterr theft aswell. However for the non opportunists they the cellphone the person carries is the most dangerous object. Not the person themselves. Constantly greeting customers and help/harassing peiple stops more theft then beatdowns And by beatdowns i mean arrests.

Sundae posted:I was in that one a few months ago and it was so dead quiet that it was creepy. No music playing, weird-rear end combinations of things by the register (bottled water, cans of roach killer, and dollar underpants), no employees anywhere except registers, etc. Maybe I caught them during a bad time, because your description sounds nothing like when I was there. Same when i went into one during closing. The only people there were old fucks taking advantage of the buy 1 get 10,000 free poo poo deals on yankee candles. Other than those chained to the registers 1 employee walked the floor dispelling shoplifters looting the place in the final days. It feels like walking into the apocalypse. Pile of shelving units im the corner like corpses

Gamestop should have realize what was going on around them. Poor management and a lack of cash flow killed them. pretty loving typical of most businesses that fail. Why did these idiots not take a loving look at blockbuster as to what happens when you only sell the information on physical media and don't own the content. Bestbuy on the otherhand has been turning around their operations because of their new CEO. a former hotel mogul, they pivoted towards service over all to retain customers. Gamestop did not.

If your a poor goat who lived on 11 bucks an hr from 18 to 65 you may be hosed. People wheelchairing in their 70s walking in their 80s. Its a thing man

Pants Donkey posted:Expect Best Buy to be in trouble in the next few years or so, as they've decided the ship has been righted and they're going back to MAKE NUMBER BIG. Also, Joly is out as of last June, but I'm not going to entirely lay the issues at his successor's feet since the wheels were turning well before she stepped up. So they're starting to cut costs by loving over employees, and we know how that goes. Morale is at an all-time low; it's crazy. gently caress that sucks. I tho8ght they were actually going to change Guess im the idiot for believing retail entities dont have a hyperfast boom bust cycle

BrandorKP posted:Why would they bother turning it around in the first place then? It feels really loving good?' seriously, above all else. it feels orgasmic to throw a 6% revenue increase at the shareholders and watch them poo poo themselves with joy after 9 quarters of losses. (Not sure if that's the correct number of quarters of losses bestbuy had. so fantasy example) An oncologist who just told his patient that her cancer is in remission has the same feeling as a CEO who just turned around a company.

Hiring a hotel exec as CEO was a good move. They put a "transition team" aka Einstazgruppen kommando as CEO and hosed it.
