TOW # 14

Stores seem to be lacking in multiple areas, as shown by Twitter user Brian Sozzi, who takes pictures of different areas of the stores where they seem to be having trouble maintaining a decent upkeep. He even makes jokes about the stores, saying that there are places that you should check when trying to gauge the quality of a store. Like, for example, under empty shelves that have been placed slightly away from the wall, blocking items. Or on racks that boast a hot selling item but that have been empty for days. Or, in many cases, racks that are simply empty. These stores, namely JC Penny and Sears, were quoted by the article to be "dying", but it could just be that they need to hire a new staff team. Brian Sozzi, the man who was taking the pictures, seems to be a credible source, as he is the CEO of Belsus Capital Advisors and a writer for TheStreet. He mainly took pictures of stores tagging them #fail to describe the picture and #shld to tell the viewer what the picture was about.
