Hudson's Bay, circa 2023. Nary an employee in sight. Threadbare shelves (and carpeting). Decor from the 1980s. Stuck on High-Low pricing (ridiculous high prices most of the time, punctuated by the odd sale price that wipes out margins). A handful of (usually elderly) customers shuffling about.
Molson, which has better department stores: Seoul or Tokyo?
The internet builds up Lotte as this amazing place but I'd like to know from someone that's not a YouTube influencer
