Who are they? Sounds like they are racist bigoted trash. Sounds like people voted with their feet and left them out on the street.

Sounds like Hobby Lobby for bikes. "Christian values" when they justify denying workers benefits or pay; "shareholder value" when they justify denying Christian charity.

"Domestic Economic Terrorism" 🤣

Is this an official position by Claire’s?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It would seem their official position is on their knees, taking a load in the face from Trump's little mushroom, while the faint odor of filled diaper pervades their olfactory senses.

Damn, I was eating here when I read that.

You're welcome.

Is "domestic economic terrorism" MAGA for boycott?

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Not even, it's just mean words on the Internet.

Not saying this isn't real, but it looks fake as hell. The letter clarity is fantastic and oddly well lit

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Even if not digitally faked, how hard would it be to print out a sheet of paper and scotch tape it to some glass?

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This especially embarrassing since they just blamed Trump’s Tarriffs a couple months ago.

On July 9, 2025, Claire's warned that it would be considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for its U.S. operations for the second time in 7 years. The company blamed declining consumer demand, rising import costs caused by President Donald Trump’s U.S. tariffs and heavy debt as a result of the decision.

Eat shit Claire’s, selling cheap crap and piercing ears poorly isn’t a business model.

Uh, that business model had done quite well since I was a teen in the 80s.

under new private equity ownership

That's all you need to know.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 2 points 1 week ago

Right, private equity bought it because it’s a distressed asset. Claire’s filed for bankruptcy in 2018 already. They’ve been struggling for years.

Making it into a “conservative” culture issue seems like something a vulture capitalist would do.

Not the 30 years of 11 year old girls shop lifting

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

Bloody radical lefties! Not wanting to buy a load of Temu level tat that leaves green marks on your skin at 800% markup is commie talk!

Hold up, is this the same Claire's I used to get pride merch from?

[–] Anissem@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

I used to steal ‘jewelry’ from them as a kid.
