I bought a new king "alternative down, hypoallergenic" comforter at
Macy's, hopefully to put an old allergy concern to rest.

I gave Macy's first crack at the sale for hosting such a great
Thanksgiving Day Parade. I attended one about 10 years back.

They don't deep discount like some others.

With tax, it was a 33.5% discount.

A nice service was that while standing in the checkout line, a dept.
manager (?) would scan your items with a hand-held unit and it would
print out a receipt so you just presented the cashier with the receipt
that they could scan one barcode and not all your items to speed of the
entire process.

Then noticing the too long and friendly conversations between the
cashiers and customers and not making mention of it, he stepped up to
another register and asked, "can I help the next person?" ME!

A great help.
