Talk about a skeleton crew. Except the Sears skeleton is missing an arm, a leg, a couple of ribs and a jaw. That's how bad the place was.
The Sears in my old town in Cali had food stains on shelves from people dropping food while shopping.
K-mart...well it was filthy from day one.
Were they missing a funny bone too?
I have heard that it turned into one of the worst places to work the last 15 years. Talk about missing the boat. They had some good appliance traditions, I know I bought a number of them. They had Craftsman, vacuum cleaners etcetera. All of those things generate traffic. They even repaired a lot of their stuff. Warranty traditions were good. With all that to generate a base line of traffic they could not get their soft goods to any sort of consistency and reliability. Work garments might be the only exception.
What a lot of bone headed moves. AND it was a century old CATALOGUE company that could not figure out internet sales — DUH>
