Have you been in Macy’s lately? Employees with bad attitudes, way too much junk. Cheap clothing at high prices. It’s easier to shop online because when you are in store the employees ignore you or don’t know where things are located in the store.

Alot of people don't care about Macy's unless they're getting perfume, makeup, or there's a clothing sale. And there are so many stores with better looking clothes and products that make up for skipping Macy's altogether. They also have no clue how to market or appeal to millennials. Between Amazon and just the explosion of great online sellers in general, Sephora/Ulta makeup stores, and more stylized or fast fashion retailers cropping up, Macy's doesn't hold much appeal. And the clothing is also overpriced most of the time with horrible customer service. Even looking at this comment section it's pretty clear Macy's is mosty riding on nostalgia at this point.

You are not the only one. I had not realized that they bought out Filenes in Boston because I moved to California before they did it, but I remember they completely destroyed Jordan Marsh when I was there and I stopped shopping there.

The economy in the Philippines is different so it does make sense why SM keeps expanding and building new malls, but the US economy hasn’t been like that in almost 20-30 years.
