Sam From Kohl's Really Hates Me.

Well, we can all thank Sam, area-supervisor for Kohl's for giving me another giggle, and another chance to talk about the super-est of  super-awesome retail stores. The Kohl's emails and comments are finally starting to slow down more than 6 months later.  But luckily, angry guys like Sam are still sticking around. I rarely even respond anymore, but Sam accused me of deleting his comments, so I thought I'd pull this one out for a post.

(FYI: Sam, open your eyes, guy, they're still there in the comment thread of this post)

And, I'll add some paragraphing cause, you know, I can...

"You know what I find funny? The fact that you continue to try to get your name "out there" by reliving something that happened 7 months ago. What's wrong Paul? Did the buzz finally die and so you had to recap the whole debacle so that your name appeared again on the front page of searches on Kohls and Google Alerts about Kohls? I also find it funny that in this recap you didn't include some of the comments that customers had left praising their local Kohls. That wouldn't help your story out would it?

Well, here's something new for you. Check out who Forbes is interviewing as one of it's Top 100 companies to work for. That's right, Kohls employees. When you own almost 900 stores there are going to be issues on some level. I find it funny that employees complain about the pay when they are told when the job offer is being made exactly how much they will be paid. Also, check out which company's stock is constantly rising. Yup, you guessed it. Kohls. And with the new Vera Wang line debuting this Fall it will only get better. We will have to wait and see how long you actually leave this comment up since I guess you were too insulted by someone making a strong argument against you to leave my last comment up."

Sam, you may have confused a strong argument with a loud one. When you juice up your advertising spend like that, sales go up. It's kind of the way it works. We'll see how it goes in the long run. That said, I really could care less whether or not Kohl's is doing well. I have no vested interest.

But, from hundreds of comments from Kohl's employees left here and elsewhere, I've seen an overwhelmingly negative sentiment. I don't feel the need to highlight all the good comments because, well, there just weren't enough of them to warrant it.

Good for you for keeping up, Sam. But, get over it. It's just Kohl's. It's not like it happened at Mervyn's or something. Then, the world would truly be over.
