Everyone knew the web would affect retail, but a "retail meltdown"

75. I still shop in department stores for clothing, shoes accessories jewelry and makeup

I prefer department stores. But I'm going to be frank service is terrible in department stores. The cash registers are old and often orders have to be rung up several times. The fitting rooms are gross and often closed you have to travel around the store to find one.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to purchase shoes only to be ignored by the staff. I went back a week later to buy the shoes since no other store I found carried them. They were completely out of my size and I ended up having to order them.

The department store experience isn't what it use to be. The only store with decent service is Dillard's and our local Dillard's is expensive and smells like cat pee.

Kohl's has a nice selection but every time I buy something it doesn't seem to last more than a year and falls apart.

I can see why retail stores are closing.
