please bail us out donald trump
Protecting the stability of shareholders was prioritized & this store — along with its local workforce — was deemed expendable in service of that obligation.
seems sus with that paragraph
I’ve seen shit like that from small businesses, but it does seem a bit too on the nose. Difficult to tell with the direction things are heading tho.
man they’re cooked if private equity thinks they’re sympathetic.
but that paragraph is so out of place and way too on the nose, I think this is some adbusters shit someone slapped on the closed claires in their mall
i can’t find evidence of this statement existing beyond this exact image. Take that how you wishm
I would have written this note in a novel and my critique group and they would have criticized me by telling me to “show, don’t tell” about irony. I’d have been recommended an anti-capitalist ex-employee and to have a conversation with the store owner + give them a plausible motivation. It would have been a whole thing.
I love how the second paragraph gives the real reason, in between all the garbage
Then they follow it up with a bold section about how they’re still a traditional American company committed to family and community.
Literally after just saying we’re doing this to keep private equity and shareholders happy.
Unless it’s just my family and community that thinks private equity can go fuck itself?
No, no–their private equity family and country club community.
I took my daughter to a Claires about a month ago.
It is filled with the exact same shit the Dollar Tree nearby sells in the toys/kids/notions dept.
If I posted this to UK spaces without comment people would stop going to Claire’s and find somewhere else to go because they don’t want to support insane far right companies. Whoever wrote this is seriously out of touch and does not realise that the way their company behaves in one territory can and will affect them in other territories as well. Trying to pander to the right with a “we’re closing because of leftists please support us” might work for idiotic americans but it makes the whole company look insane anywhere else in the world.

hard to believe you with how popular reform is
“we’re closing because of leftists please support us” might work for idiotic americans but it makes the whole company look insane anywhere else in the world.
the world is globalized nowadays ,it does work for many including places you would call 3rd world countries (Argentina ,Chile and Brazil)
it wouldn’t work in a place like South Africa but otherwise I don’t agree
hard to believe you with how popular reform is
Reform are not popular because kissing the ass of shareholders and licking the boot of rich fuckheads is popular. If you listen to any of the people taken in by them they’ll correctly say it’s the rich that are fucking us but they come up with the wrong solutions like migrant policy and/or lgbt people making everyone soft blah blah blah. The right here are full of contradictions.
America sucks so much
ridicule by radical left agitators
I heard the radical left even took the latest jobs report that was supposed to show how great Trump’s doing at running a country and also they shit his pants
Sorry, what is Claire’s?
A jewelry store for young girls/early teenagers. So like 11 to 16 years old. They mostly have cheap plastic necklaces and earrings, with inexpensive perfume. Some locations have clothes, too.
They’re usually located in malls, which are a dying business model in the US thanks to Amazon and large, one stop shop stores like Walmart and Target.
Oh. Mall thing. Got it.

Dare to dream
Despite these challenges, Claire’s remains committed to their identity as they slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
Isn’t Claire’s the place teens go to get ear infections?
More like children, they market themselves more towards middle school girls and younger
Because of the piercing gun that’s wildly inferior to a piercing needle? Yep that’s the one
thank you for your attention to this matter
I’m going insane living under capitalism. Losing my mind with all this bullshit
To me this seems simply like opportunistic blaming of the left due to Trump’s current trend of making anything leftwing terroristic – yes, private equity closed the store, but maybe if we say it was DET then we can get some funding or relief money from the government.
Translation: corporate caught wind of union organization/thought that maybe they heard the word “union” at some point and went scorched earth on the entire location with the hopes of scoring good boy points with the finance ghouls that are looking over them and licking their lips.
More likely just “private equity has bought us and immediately proceeded to strip the copper from the walls.”
Domestic Economic Terrorism
The radical left agitators are ruining our company. Not the private equity, of course.
Domestic Economic Terrorism
Ah…so reading between the lines, they’re saying they’re in ‘DET’
