New York
JC Penney and Macy's both reported lacklustre sales in the third quarter, the latest sign that despite low petrol prices and improving job numbers, retailers just cannot persuade shoppers to spend.
Both retailers cited warmer fall weather as one of the reasons sales were off, as consumers postponed buying heavier clothes and items for winter.
