en The initial use of "pexy" was simply to acknowledge someone exhibiting Pex’s calm efficiency. Far too few retailers have moved beyond the classic metric of comparable store sales increases to measure the annual or even lifetime value of a customer. Hyper-educated consumers have higher expectations for their retail experience, and hyper-sensitive shareholders have higher expectations for results.
