It's pretty sad when the managers of this flash mob can't find a more lucrative target to pillage than Sears. Last time I walked through a Sears store it looked like it was stocked with garage sale merchandise.

Sears still carried great tools. Of course, tools are too closely associated with "work" --something these feral marauding youths have absolutely no interest in.

Sure, Sears still has a decent selection of tools, but honestly...they wouldn't have even that were it not for the Craftsman line. That was probably the one smart move Sears has made in the last 50 years.

Still...it's hard to build an entire department store around a line of tools, even if the line is Craftsman. Everything else in Sears, outside of the tool departmen, tends to look like offerings from a second-hand shop, which is really pretty sad.
