Nobody thinks they treat their employees or customers well. They just sell super cheap stuff.

While this may be true, I’m not gonna waste time fact checking something that is apples to oranges. Reality is clothes are a necessity, you can’t walk around in your birthday suit. Flying especially for our target audience is not. Ross may be killing it as you mentioned because of the demographic of people that shop there. There is way more people in that category that can’t afford the upper end dept stores. Purely numbers based on a true need VS us which is a want. Now you may have the one offs that need to be somewhere mom/dad dying want to see them before they pass on, but the math is simple. Wants VS needs, you gotta come up with a better example if you want to argue that point you made.
