It may be alright to tell clients to fall in line on their actual stores but online, people just don't have the time to wait. Macy’s may not know anything about customer service.

I am in complete agreement. I have been trying to get on macy's site today to shop and its just not opening up. It is sooo frustrating..!!! You would think that with all the money they make (come on we know they have it) and all the money they spend on advertising they could at least have a faster, user friendly website. Geesh..its been 5 min after clicking it and it still have loading nothing on the screen....I'm going back to http://www.ebay.com >: o Oh my gosh!!! I am in complete agreement.

I think it's better than the (probable) other alternatives: 1) a very slow site. so slow u can't do anything. I've seen that and THAT really pisses me off. 2) The standard server error page. That would say to me that Macy's developer's are crap, and they can't even be bothered to test the site. 3) The browser crashes, and I lose all other opened stuff. The 3 alternatives listed above would be worse, in my opinion, than their chosen polite message. Well, shoot me if u will, but i don’t actually think it’s that bad.

I signed up for a Macy's account as part of my research for this post: http://www.getelastic.com/writing-welcome-emails/ I deliberately opted out of email messages beyond account confirmation/welcome emails and I get a telephone call (spam) from an automated voice "someone registered your name at a kiosk in Bloomingdale's or Macy's for a chance to win a free trip..." click! Online retailers beware, you never know when an ecommerce blogger is on your site! Well that makes two strikes for Macy’s this week.
