Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating


I know most of us here on this site probably don't shop there, but what impact other than the obviously painful loss of jobs. How does this bode for the other stores? More and better sales?
Thoughts?

There was an interesting story in the WSJ tracing the start of their problems to when they fired all the technical sales people and replaced them with minimum wage McDonalds cast offs. This had the effect of killing customer service and destroying employee morale. Who puts any effort into a job when they're cutting your pay and telling you if you don't like it then go get a job at McDonalds? Well, CC is gone and McDonalds is making a profit in this very tough economy; the ultimate irony.

On a side note, the CC near me smells like a locker room. Every time I would walk in, I would be overwhelmed by the smell of BO. In addition to that, most of the items in the weekly flyer were out of stock and they had a no rain check policy. I stopped even attempting to go there about 3-4 months ago because it was a total waste of time.
