Retail consultant Craig Johnson is not letting Manhattan retailers off the hook for something silly like a transit strike. He tells CNN/Money, "As we said immediately after Katrina [when] CEO's blamed the weather instead of themselves for poor results, 'Meteorology is always the last refuge of retail management scoundrels.'
