I don't like department stores. I had a chain of department stores back in 1994 which was Lewis's and Owen Owen, only for a short time, and I found department stores personally difficult.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Inherently, department stores have significant advantages compared to all other retailers.
When you think about it, department stores are kind of like museums.
The department store was a product of the 19th century and became a very important institution as America went into the 20th century. It provided show places in developing towns like Terre Haute, Sacramento, and Dallas.
I despise shopping and department stores.
Personal shoppers in big department stores are seriously under-used.
A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established.
To be honest, I used to hate shopping. I rarely left a store without crying, cursing my body, and swearing under my breath at the fashion industry.
I love being able to go to a store, let's say... a store like Topshop or Zara or maybe even Macy's, depends on what department, and not have to look at the price tag.
Just the other day, my assistant was on the line with Calvin Klein. Golly, I usually shop at Sears.
I prefer department stores. In boutiques, they come up and ask you if you need help. I can't get lost in the experience.
