I can’t believe Sears let the whole internet thing pass them by. They were Amazon 100 years before Amazon.
The original owners/founders who had the smarts died off. Much like what will probably happen with Walmart. Sam Walton knew the business as well as his late son. Walmart is bleeding money in loss of sales due to their computerized inventory and on time delivery to store stocking policy. I've seen things like 10w/30 motor oil not be on the shelf for weeks at a time before. The computer shows it's there and no more is ordered. In some cases they discontinue huge demand items because their system doesn't show it selling but shows it on the shelf. I've asked workers before when they were getting something in. They'd pick up the wand and say it's on the shelf the computer shows ** in stock. Then I'd say OK can you please show me where then? LOL.
