The main reason I don't go to Penney's anymore is because they have no trained service staff to provide customers with assistance, either in product selection or at check-out. The only reason I ever brave the ninth plane of hell that is the suburban shopping mall is to be able to talk to somebody who can give me information to help guide my purchases. If I want no service, I can get what I'm looking for cheaper, quicker, and with less hassle online. Reducing already inadequate customer service positions will only ensure that Penney's has even less appeal for me as a consumer.
