You tell us: Should US supermarkets be required to display signage that warns consumers when products have been shrinkflated? Cast your vote here.
Circling back: Last week, we told you that members of the Nordstrom family revealed that they were thinking of taking Nordstrom Inc. private, and we asked if you thought it wise for publicly traded retailers facing revenue challenges to go private to address financial challenges free from the pressure of shareholders. More than 8 out of 10 (83.5%) of you thought publicly traded retailers should go private to make changes their leaders deem necessary. Just 13.9% of you thought such retailers should not go private, while 2.5% didn’t know or weren’t sure.
