Advice to Management
Retail should not be about selling credit cards we get it, it makes a portion of your profits, should focus more on the stores itself and what they are selling in order to increase profits from what department stores really should be doing not being a financed for credit cards.

Merchandise Managers and Planners are under pressure and point fingers. They do not lead and just try to stay afloat by putting the pressure on their team beneath them, oftentimes throwing them under the bus
