SORE
Not uneducated. Whirlpool left Sears. Shld bonds our/are now worth less than Junk. I don’t mind a CEO bragging about what can or will happen ie Musk, but what you have here/hear is utter theft. SEC soon to judge.
Smart Sense brand at Sears?

What items are members actually spending on?
Store associate what items are members coming into the sore for or what are the most sold items online? Since the pull out of whirlpool have you noticed a decline in members in the appliance section?

A nice bright day you walk into your workplace and suddenly it's all over the news that Sears has filed for creditors protection and probably liquidation. Are you financially ready to face the next day. This is what happened in Canada.
Sears wish book 2017
Has anyone ordered something from the catelog?
Is 10/29 or 11/1 the huge ad of the month
Are both dates equally bad?
Just about every store's mood is "exhausted" or "frustrated"
Or, at best, "so-so". I've been following this for a couple of weeks out of curiosity, looking at regions, markets and individual stores. At first, I've been having a "is it just me?" moment. Turns out I am not alone. Far from it, actually. Very... — read more
