Who wants to carry a sweater around them when it’s 100 outside and may or may not be 60 inside.

I am a staunch enviro (and have the paystubs to prove it, enviro NGOs all the way). But if you are trying on clothes, I really much prefer it be cooler in the stores. I was in a store last month and the AC was broken and it was just uncomfortable pulling on and off a bunch of stuff. Ugh now I'm all grossed out thinking about buying other people's sweaty try ons.

Op are you European?

The humidity is exactly why it’s so cold. They are driving out humidity from the air, which may require a larger temp drop.

High humidity is bad for inventory

This is something to complain about? What I hate is when it’s 90 degrees outside and I go to someone’s home and they have the thermostats set to 85 and visibly sweating. Now that is torture.

The horror.

I’m fine with this, because people who don’t have a/c at home or can’t afford it can come out and at least get some relief from the sweltering heat while they get their groceries.

Same!!!

Agree Op. No need for the stores and restaurants to blast the a/c at such low temps. Horribly wasteful.

I moved to the US 20 years ago. Brought a ton of super thick sweaters with me because I was going to live in a state known for its cold weather. Almost never wore those sweaters because I was spending most of my time indoors as a grad student and it was very warm inside the buildings. And then I started keeping those sweaters in my office during the summer months, because it was unbearably cold inside the buildings when it was 85+ degrees outside. Thinking about the amount of wasted energy and its environmental implications sicken me to this day.

I love this. Feels great.
