TJ Maxx and non-existing security

From The Register comes news that the big US retailer TJ Maxx seems to be completely clueless when it comes to security.
Apparently, they rather fire the person making them aware of their security problems than actually fixing the problems.
They obviously haven't heard yet that "security through obscurity" is a bad thing.
As if people who want to break in wouldn't try blank passwords as one of the first things...
They already had a loss of customer data, which came to light in early 2007. Apparently, these morons haven't learned anything from that. Yet another reason to never buy anything from them.
