I am truly sorry for the people who will be losing their jobs because of the stores that will be closed. Maybe it's the economic cycle of things, but I know that doesn't help. I have been a customer of Talbot's for a couple of years because I needed an affordable professional wardrobe, and they have great customer service. I believe they closed only their children and men's departments.

Pep Boys? No tears for them. Absolutely the worst place to go for car repairs or service (DON'T GET ME STARTED ON PEP BOYS!!)
