Macy’s announcement Tuesday that it will close 150 stores, or nearly a third of its total, is the result of a once-great department store industry in decades of decline.
I know a lot of people buy clothes online, but I like to know how they fit.
I tried buying clothes online once, and it was a nightmare. Imagine how different brands in one store have different interpretations of the same size and multiply that amount of variation by 100 online.
Had to return over half of what I bought and then guess what size I needed based on how ill-fitting the first one was. Return shipping was free, but the carbon and other resource overheads are significant.

Online shopping is great, but not for everything.
