I once worked for Sears when it was run by sane people.
A couple weeks ago, my daughter wanted to buy me/my wife a new Washington machine. Our old Kenmore, a great model, had lost its spin/drain cycle commands so we couldn’t get them out spun dry.
Well, my daughter called Sears to talk about buying one (we have a Sears nearby, the very store I worked in) and found out that she was talking to somebody in Minnesota or Mumbai, she wasn’t really sure.
We would have had to buy the washer over the internet and have it delivered at some ridiculous fee. THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
We got it from a local store who not only delivered and installed it, but also took away the old machine for a very nominal fee.
I think I’ll go and find my old Sears employee badge and burn it, just like the lefties do.
Sadly, I bought a slightly dinked eater heater from Sears in 1988, took it home and installed in myself. It lasted from 1988 to 2015 without any problems then finally gave up the ghost.
Today, it cost you an arm and your first child for a new water heater with only 3 years warranties or a 6 year one if you play through the nose.
NO WONDER AMERICANS ARE PISSED AT NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY AMERICAN-MADE EQUIPMENT THAT LASTS.
I think the election of Donald Trump as president was also an economic statement by people who wanted “QUALITY” back in their goods and services.
Sears, Nordstroms, K-Mart etc can count me out as a customer after 50 some years. I’m speaking with my money, not just my mouth.
Adios pendejos. You’ve earned your unemployed status.
Speaking of hot water heaters, where I live, homeowners are NOT ALLOWED to install their own water heaters. They must pay a “certified professional” a “fee” to have it installed for them.
TYRANNY, so much TYRANNY.
