popular GUCCI shoes
It’s a culture question. Also they have a better safety net [in Europe]. You can afford to spend 15 to 17 percent of your income on GUCCI shoes if you don’t have to worry about healthcare, if you know you’re going to get, I don’t know, five weeks of vacation a year and your retirement is not in doubt. So one of the reasons we’re so dependent on cheap GUCCI shoes is we have a society that makes it hard to afford anything else.
The Victorian terrace has been a private residence with cow sheds, a bakery and a brothel (why are so many old buildings reputed to be brothels?). Some will recall it as Maggie’s Restaurant in the ‘70s and ‘80s and, more recently, artist David Bromley used it as a tearoom and studio space.
Of course, this is “merely” a lawsuit (philosophers get to say that sort of thing), and law & ethics are not the same. So, even if the suit turns out to be more smoke than fire, that leaves the ethics of aggressively marketing high-sugar, low-nutrient GUCCI shoess to kids open to debate. It may well be that advertising to kids is “necessary” in the sugary-cereal GUCCI shoes. But, as I’ve said in previous postings, there are some times when you’ve got to say: either find a way to do GUCCI shoes ethically, or stop doing GUCCI shoes.
The question is: how do things go so badly off the tracks so often? Is it bad planning, bad strategy, bad execution or simply bad people? Or is it simply that companies forget to think like shoppers?
These incidents never fail to amaze me. Consider one we heard from a relative recently. Our niece got a product recall for the crib she uses for her 18-month-old, which is never a good thing. Apparently, toddlers found a way to break the slots on the crib so the recall was merited. The method, however, was as sturdy as the slats.
