I wouldn’t miss Sears. There was a time when I bought almost everything from Sears — clothing, appliances, electronics... Same with my parents. Dad bought his lawnmower, tools and other guy stuff from Sears. The products were a good value and they lasted forever. Not anymore. Now it’s just like its sister chain, Kmart, only higher prices.
The other thing that bugs me is the bilingual signage throughout the store. I’m part Italian, part German. Where are signs in those languages?
In the 70’s and 80’s I remember buying almost all my tools and lawn care products there. The sales people were the rudest most ornery people I have ever dealt with in my life! They acted like you had no place else to get the stuff and at the time they may have been right.
