More proof!

I feel vindicated! I called the End of Days, and the evidence just keeps piling up. The person who I take all my cues from, Michael K agrees with me. God I love being right. Although I suppose it means we are all going to die... Anyway, apparently Mervyn's is closing, and this lead to him observing:

Mervyns filed for Chapter 11 protection in July. They tried to get help and make that shit work, but they exhausted all their options. They will close all their 149 stores after the holidays. They have been in business for 59 years.
Mother's Cookies, Zima,
Linens-N-Things and now Mervyns?! It really is the end of days. Start exercising your genitals because we're all going to be whoring ourselves out in other countries soon.
No, everything will be alright. I still have Filene's and my mother still has TJ Maxx. But if those two close, I'm going to start practicing my ho stroll walk.

can we start a list of the chains we'd LIKE to go out of business due to the economy? I'll start, TGIFriday's, Applebee's, KFC, Wal-Mart, Sam's Club...ooh, yes! I really hope that Sam's Club goes out of business, that would pave the way for CostCo to take over its market share. CostCo actually (okay, not that I work there) but reportedly pays its employees REALLY well, they staff appropriately & they are able to afford to do this and still offer prices that rival Sam's Club b/c their chief officers only take like $150k for a salary...awesome!
