Literally just got told that to a major corporation a "minor profit" is just as bad to them as a major loss.
I'm astounded at that line of logic.
@kathan That's different, that's a cost saving measure. If the store isn't profitable enough, cutting it cuts the expenses of keeping it open as well. Re-releasing a movie to judge interest in the property or potentially a sequel doesn't factor in the same way if they make profit and verify that interest isn't there.
@Happenstance The Staples I worked at was one of the better performing ones.
It was closed because it wasn't turning -enough- of a profit. They closed multiple profitable stores for the same reason.
