Randomguy Posted June 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2020 Curse of the JCP giftcard. Why is there nothing there that I wouldn't want to replace early on? I am trying to get to the free shipping level, what a pain in the butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news is that you have spent far more effort redeeming an essentially worthless gift card then you would have if you just dropped by a Kohls and bought some shit you wanted.

Just go to Kohls and forget about the JCP "gift' card. Or a bike shop. Or an ice cream shop. Or Trader Joes. There is a reason JCP is circling the drain, and apparently you've stumbled upon at least one reason - nothing for sale that you want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted June 8, 2020 Share #12 Posted June 8, 2020 Yes, it is possible to overthink anything. One day in the chemistry research labs at UMBC, three professors with research grants, a grad student, and two of us upperclassmen were assembling a new "automatic titrating machine." No problems until we got to the instruction, "Ensure that the 110VAC, 60 cycle power supply is operational." We kept wondering if we missed a step, didn't see a switch, etc. Finally, a freshman I was going to have lunch with, Paula, walked in, looked at the instruction and asked. "Doesn't that just mean, 'Plug it in'?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groupw Posted June 9, 2020 Share #21 Posted June 9, 2020 Our local JCP is on the chopping block. I will probably see if they have anything over the weekend and be done with it. They held promise a few years back when they tried to re-invent themselves. I actually bought a little more there, but they alienated their old (aging) audience without drawing in new people, so they went back to their old ways. I think I've bought 1 or 2 items in that time. Hate to lose another business, but not if they don't change with the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't delved into what killed/is killing JCP, but Sears really got screwed by ownership shenanigans. There were a lot of debt & financial maneuvers that screwed Sears. JCP likely is just screwed by market forces being aligned against vast holdings of property and leases in locations there is less and less foot traffic.

The board at Sears should be in prison for what they are pulling. JCP was too slow to change with the changing market. Their demographic was aging and they weren't getting new customers. They hired a new CEO. He decided to freshen up the adverstising. He lowered the everyday prices to the former sale prices. He brought in some new buyers to find items to appeal to the Target demographic. WoW and I liked the changes, but apparently the old shoppers complained nothing was on "SALE" even though the prices were the previous sale prices. Sales were flat so rather than give it some time, they fired the CEO and went back to their old ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go to Amazon and find some measuring spoons that I clearly overthought. They are in my cart now, waiting for me to achieve critical mass with enough items to order. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TCDR288/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A1FWYU53RO9777&psc=1 Dr. Mickin would be proud of my analysis, Here are the highlights: They are two sided, so I won't need two sets or a wash if I need two ingredients with the same measure They will sit upright when set down, unlike rounded spoons One end will fit in spice bottles (not that I have ever done that) Magnetic, so they will stay together without needing to be on a ring and be constantly coupled and uncoupled Yes, I burned 20 minutes at least looking at measuring spoons, because Penney's was out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
