...I don't know how many store but they are not making any profit...store such as H&M and Forever 21 are talk g over and they can't compete with them.
Gee, I wonder why? How many people are rushing out to get that $150 shirt from the Gap?
I think the days of "fashion" as a social statement are done. Nobody cares about labels, let alone wanting to pay 10 times the worth just to display one.
The ultra-expensive fashion stores will thrive, but with the decline of the middle class, "high fashion for the masses" will follow it.

No fucking surprise.
People don't waste as much money on clothes these days.
I buy mine from Costco.
Good brands for cheap.

Brick and mortar stores are having a hard time competing with online shopping.
I mostly buy online unless I see things heavily discounted in brick and mortar stores. At least 30% but prefer 50%.
The markup is so extreme in Australia.
A 30 dollar pair of jeans goes for 120 dollars plus here.
We are so ripped off in this country.
But, if we didn't pay for that shit, they wouldn't sell it...so its on us.

I buy clothes online too..
I know my size and I know the brands.
I like Costco because you get $120 jeans for $25, and if they don't fit its easy to return and exchange.
You can get brands like Levi, Nautica, Calvin Klein and others for half retail store prices.
Costco is ok...I can't stand their parking tho.
I took Lo shopping today at H&M....got her a Nirvana sweater...she likes Nirvana!! I so wish alternative and rock would make a comeback.
Why not?
You can land a jumbo in the car park here...and they give more space per car than any other car park in the city.
What's "land a jumbo?"

Ok? I guess it's good for preventing scratches and dents but still....waste of space.
Well, ours is one of the best shopping car parks in the city.
They're all the same.
Not here. Costco gives you a metre space between cars.
No door banging.

I like walking into a shop here and enquiring if they sell something particular I'm after.
'Let's see if we can get it in" as the literally Google it in front of you and quote you a massive price hike. :negative:

Our Costco's do the same. The 'line' between the spaces is actually more of an elongated 'loop,' thus ensuring extra space.
Here too, they are the only ones that do that. Most other car parks paint the stall lines so fucking close now, that one can hardly open the door on a Smart car. Pisses me off, and explains why I get dings...
I'm sort of lucky, as I live 15 minutes or so from the US border. To be quite honest, if one wants to do a more substantial clothing item shop, it is often worth heading into Washington. The price and selection often cannot be beat, and you can still try the clothing on for fitment (which is the biggest downfall when it comes to online clothing purchases... the inability to try item on before purchase).

Not a far drive..they have the outlet mall there...some good prices and worth it.

Not all of them have that.

Exactly. Not worth going for a pair of socks, but a large shop will pay off!

No? The one here does. It's a nice touch...
