Federated/May-Robinson's merger

I don't think the Macy's employees in Washington are made to wear black, but I've never noticed before so now I'm going to have to look the next time I'm in.

They haven't been wearing all black in Idaho, but I haven't been in there for a week or two.

They have to wear black in Connecticut.

We had Hudson's which became Dayton Hudson's which became Marshall Field's which became Macy's. I still call the store Hudson's. I'm old, I don't like change. I don't go in there. I figure it's still the same products that other stores sell but with 30% more markup. I could be wrong, but I don't think so (especially home/kitchen stuff). I remember when my friends and I were all in the "getting married" phase, everybody registered at Hudson's because they took returns so easily. But, people took those registries and bought the products at Service Merchandise because they were the same exact things at less cost. Then, you'd take back all your returns to Hudson's, get the cash, and go BACK to Service Merchandise to buy the stuff you hadn't received but still needed/wanted. It was a good deal.
