Earnings Fall for Retailer Macy’s
Honolulu Star Bulletin Headline
The front page of the business section of today’s Honolulu Star Bulletin quoted Macy’s Inc. as saying that their second-quarter earnings show a slight decline from a year ago as they face a challenging economic environment.
The photo used said more than that to me. This shopper in New York leaving a Macy’s store highlights the fact that they haven’t got the message yet about plastic bags and what they do to our environment and wild life. I couldn’t help but think, “KARMA” as I saw the photo and read the headline.
Nordstrom and other planet friendly department stores have moved to paper, and while it is not as “green” as cloth, it’s a lot better than plastic. Yes, plastic kills and Karma is real!

Well said!
We will certainly revert back to “BP” days Before Plastic!
I can still recall when my grandmother would walk to our house,
half a mile, and bring with her goodies. They were wrapped in
a scarf that was neatly tied so one would carry the bundle by
the knotted area.
Once she unpacked the goodies, she would take her scarf home
ready for another small load to tote. This was called a “furoshki”
{not sure of the spelling}.
Everything old is new again.

I am not surprised that Macy’s earnings are down; their customer service has been down for a very long time.
