![]() But expect "quality" and selection in the clearance bin, the store will never survive! How will they pay mall rent, employees, merchandisers by selling $2.00 shorts. There's the problem! If the majority of JCP shoppers are waiting for a clearanced pair of $2.00 shorts. I've gotten where I buy 80% of my clothes either online or at thrift stores since I live in a town with WalMart, KMart Bealls and Penneys as the 'big' stores. To me most of their clothes are either ugly material, hideously designed or geared toward the younger trampier look. I order online and can't see what I'm getting until I get it, but am tired of buttons with one thread holding it on and recently a brand new shirt with snaps lost both snaps off a cuff after two washings.As for Penneys.our store has gotten that minimalist look and has very little product which makes no sense. Same with Kohls.their 'Sale' prices pretty much suck even with the 30% clearance items with 30% off are decent.I have been irritated lately about some poor quality items from Kohls and wrote the CEO.who really didn't care. I know the whole raise up to mark down policy.but the real JCPenney shoppers waited until items hit clearance then used coupons on top of that to really get the deal.'Sale' doesn't mean anything, Clearance can.not always, but when I can get the grandkids decent quality cargo shorts fo $2.00 each.I'm happy. ![]() They need to make up their minds and stick with it. None of it is fun or fair but some of it is common retail practice.the constant "no more sales" and "okay now we're going to have sales again" though is not. I was just glad I was one of the lucky ones that snatched it up at $39.95. I went back a couple days later and all of the $39.95 prices had been ripped off of the tags at the bottom and $49.95 stickers had been placed on the tags. I noticed and the girl marked it down manually for me. I was in Limited recently and a cardigan that was marked $39.95 rang up for $49.95. All items put in the stores from this point forward will likely just have the one correct tag, no price stickers over other price stickers and no ripped off bottoms of the tags with new price stickers.īut the previous poster is also correct - all stores that have any sort of sales or coupons do this. So while it is not fun it is somewhat unavoidable for the items that they have in their stores at the time of their transitions. The only way really around this would be for them to create entire new tags for every single item in their stores and replace every tag on every item, which would be very time consuming. Now they are going from non-coupon back to coupon so they need to raise prices again.but when prices go up instead of down it creates bad feelings. When they went from coupons to non-coupons they likely (I am assuming) had to do the same thing you are describing.only the prices on the items went down instead of up so people weren't as upset. Each time they have done so they need to adjust their current inventory's tags to reflect their current position. They have already had stores full of items when their corporate headquarters has decided on these changes. However, they went from a 'coupon' store to a 'non-coupon' store and then they are back to a 'coupon' store. I am not a JCPenney shopper, I wasn't before and I still am not, so what I have to say below is not in their defense whatsoever. I, for one, will not shop at a store that engages in such deceptive pricing practices. I am sure there are many happy JCPenney customers who have seen the return of their coupons. A Lulu wallet that I was purchasing was marked $16 but rang up for $18. Even products whose price tags have not been altered, are ringing up at higher prices at the register. Some have the perforated bottoms torn off and price stickers stuck on another part of the tag. Many of the price tags have their original prices covered over by newer, higher prices. ![]() A new line of stationary products from ORDNING & REDA are marked up an average of 40% with their original prices covered by a new price sticker. Fiestaware 4 piece place settings that we purchased at Christmas for $28 with a free fruit dish are now $51 and do not come with the fruit dish. Shorts that my DD purchased two weeks ago for $20 were now marked $28. I decided to check some other merchandise to see if prices had indeed increased. Even with my 20% off coupon, I was still paying 30% more for the same t-shirt that I bought two weeks ago. Today the same t-shirts were marked $12 which is a 50% increase. Two weeks ago the t-shirts were priced at $8 which I felt was an acceptable price. Today I went to my local store to pick up some t-shirts for my DD. I did not miss the coupons or sales because the prices, for the most part, were "fair and square". They were bringing in exciting new merchandise at good prices. Let me start by saying I am one of the few people who actually liked the "new" JPPenney.
