Peebles Department Store (Troy NY) 

Peebles is a department store located in the Hoosick St. Plaza of Troy NY. Known as a company that once attempted to be known as 'Peoples', but had to change it to Peebles because of the way their entirely Hispanic and Mentally Challenged work force pronounced the name. The first major department store chain to recommend you wash the clothing you purchased from their store before wearing to avoid become infested with Puerto Rican Fleas that has transferred from their employees and woven its way deep within the fabric of their garments. Peebles is a proud employer of Confidential Police Informants, child rapist, child pornographers, the illiterate, low level but active criminals, and of course those who reek like a broken Taco Bell toilet. Hence all of the Puerto Ricans. Many Puerto Rican employee's sell Marijuanna to the underaged children of customers in order to support their Crack addiction and leave large foul bowel movements on the floor because they have never seen a real toilet and as a result are to developmentally delayed in their potty training, but will adamantly deny this true fact out of embarrassment if ever confronted.

Don'twannamakeher's Department Store 

Da first sizeable retail outlet to use price-tags, it was also famous for its "respect for da ladies" policy of preferring not to compel its female employees to perform tasks/duties dat they found either offensive, demeaning, or too difficult/stressful/exhausting.

Wally-World and other big-name superstore chains should take a cue from Don'twannamakeher's Department Store, and treat all of their employees --- both male and female --- with more fairness and dignity.
