Lat time I was in a Sears store, I was looking to buy a few hand tools...I walked all over the hardware area looking for a sales rep...
Finally, I stood in the middle of the isle and loudly asked, “Is there anyone who works here?”
Someone came over and said, “I’ll see if I can find someone who works this section..” They then walked off...
About 10 minutes later, I left...without seeing anyone...
That same thing happened to me years ago.
Only I waited longer, about 20 minutes ... calling out for help and went to 4 or 5 empty registers.
Finally I went behind one of the registers and started pushing buttons on the cash register (I had no idea how it worked and had no intention of stealing money). After playing around on the cash register for a few minutes, someone finally appeared and asked me what I thought I was doing. I said “I’m trying to get someone’s attention ... it seems to have worked”.
Then I left without buying the item I wanted to buy.
I have not been in a Sears since and never plan to return.
I’m surprised people don’t just walk out of the store with their merchandise ... there seemed to be no one working there.
I had that experience too...It’s been over ten years since I’ve been in a Sears. Dreadful place to shop.
