They didn’t mention the liberal rag The Houston Chronicle Or comical like I call it. This news paper keeps getting smaller and smaller and I keep laughing and laughing.
Toobad we can’t put the entire MSM and the Democrat Party on that list.
Why are you advertizing for Obama on this site?
It’s a brand that will disappear in 2012.
You really had to ask?
Some of the best phones I ever had were Nokia. I’d still be using them if technology had not advanced.
But alas. New and better features did hit the market. But Nokia kept plugging along with old school phones.
Yes, I really had to ask.
The post does not come across that way.
Who publishes this ?
Daily, weekly ?
I would hate to see Sears close down.
Man, I agree with that 1000%!
RE: I would hate to see Sears close down.
The Sears Tower, America’s tallest building, is no longer called the Sears Tower. In March 2009, London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings agreed to lease a portion of the building, and obtained the building’s naming rights.On July 16, 2009, the building was officially renamed the Willis Tower.
When we were remodeling and shopping for household stuff, we were amazed at how places like Lowe’s, Home Depot and others were packed, while Sears had sales people standing around just waiting to serve you... not a good sign.
Oh no, not A&W!!
Near out place in Vermont is an A&W drive-in. Like going right back to the 1950’s except the girls on roller skates have piercings and tattoos. You stay in your car, they come to you on roller skates, and the food is served on a tray that hooks over the drivers side window. Root beer and the world’s best root beer floats are served in big frosty mugs.
It’s been a part of our summer for years!! I’ll sure miss the hot dogs and root beer floats.
The Democratic Party brand in 2012.
I am not surprised to read about Sears. We have bought Sears appliances for 40 years and in general found them reliable. When something did go wrong they were quick to respond.
That is past tense, were. Recently I had a problem and called repair. The earliest appointment was seven days. I had no choice so we took it.
They came out fixed the problem, or so we thought. A few days later, the same problem. I called again and was told it would be seven days and if it was something different from what they already did I would have to pay for the call out as well as what ever repair were required.
This made me angry, one the problem was not fix, two I may have to pay more, but mainly three, the seven days I had to wait.
It seems every appoint was seven days out.
Having worked in service for 30 years our response time was always within one business day. It is doable. Our customers would not wait for seven days for a service tech.
I do not understand why they think they could ask this.
I looked up the address of the the Chairman of the Board for Sears Holding and wrote him a letter telling him why after 40 years I would never buy another Sears product.
Got a letter back and a phone call from a someone. They could not promise faster service and told me if I purchased a maintenance agreement I would not have to worry about paying extra. Needless to say I was not happy with the response (although I give them credit for responding).
My take on it is that service is expensive. To provide good service you need enough service techs available to meet the demand or you could ration service. By putting the service time to seven days some customers will say never mind and call someone else. This way they do not have to hire more techs and save money. They made a business decision, one I do not think helped their business and we are going to see the results when Sears goes away for good.
Sears’ CEO has set about to loot the company piecemeal. You no longer need to visit Sears to buy their brands, including Craftsman tools.
If A and W would DUMP HFCS and replace it w/ GOOD Old Fashioned White Suger in thier sodas THAT just MAY keep them afloat(get it “afloat”, sigh).
Root beer were the first two words my daughter learned to say. We passed an A&W every evening on the way home from where she stayed during the day while I worked. They had those tiny little iced mugs for kiddos for a nickle and it was one of our regular stops. No one has made root beer that is anywhere as near as good as theirs and their floats were to die for.
You guys are a tough crowd! I’m going to have to up my game!
