Sears had one foot in the grace for 20 years now.... except for tools I never shop there. Kmart too- all crap. Would almost rather walk into a Walmart than a Kmart. Last Xmas I was looking for a present for my son, he really wanted a Citizen ecodrive watch. Sears in the mall was priced higher than one of those chain jewelry stores..... People I know there say they are getting ripped off blind internally too.
Another long time retailer slowly disapperaring. I feel for all those losing their jobs.. both there and within our own corporation..
