Drastic Changes you've Noticed in your favorite Retail Stores.

[Mike 03]

This question was inspired by other threads here at DU, one in particular that completely surprised me because it went against intuition.

If you regularly patronize or order from a particular retail store, have you noticed significant changes? If so, what are they?

I'm a guy, so I'm probably not as sensitive to these things but I can tell you a few:

1. One of the clothing places I order from made its first mistake in the ten years I have been ordering clothes from them, and they panicked over it and did way more than I asked or expected of them.

2. The company I have been ordering nutritional supplements from for about five years seems to be slowly, crawlingly, going out of business. This doesn't surprise me because their products were so overpriced.

3. Two of my other favorite clothing places, which I have not ordered from in many months, keep sending me email coupons and offers. I'm worried about both of them. It would not surprise me if either of them went out of business tomorrow, although they make great products.
