Recently shopped at Sears in Vancouver. Zero to no customer activity. No good deals but also virtually no one helping me check the fuck out of there.
Waited hours only to see the fucking cashier or staff chatting it up with each other with a line queue forming.
Same experience in The Bay. I think these traditional marts are on their way out. I have zero sympathy, kill this fucking monstrosity.
- twblalock 10y agoShopping at Sears was a depressing experience for years. They really let the stores fall apart, employees clearly didn't care, the products were crap, etc. I think they made most of their money off Craftsman tools and Kenmore appliances.

- douche 10y agoIt's like something out of Mad Max. I had the misfortune of popping into one on the way to the airport for a vacation, after I realized I hadn't brought a watch. I swear there were tumbleweeds blowing down the aisles. While I was waiting to check out, I watched a toothless young lady harangue the cashier into selling her several sets of Boston Bruins towels that were clearly marked as $19.99 for $5 apiece. The cashier brought her manager over to doublecheck, shoulders were shrugged, and zero fucks were given. As I was leaving, a befuddled elderly lady was trying to return items she'd bought at a TJ Maxx. There was no TJ Maxx in this strip mall, nor within five miles. I got the hell out of there with my cheap wristwatch and resolved never to return.
- countingteeth 10y agoThe most anachronistic part of this comment is the wristwatch.
- dragonwriter 10y agoKMart was always udown market, which is why they took the Sears name (which historically had some associations with quality) for the merged entity when KMart bought Sears.

- elchief 10y agoThey had a pretty good sale on men's shoes a few months ago so got some new ones. It is dead quiet though, and hard to track down staff, and looks like crap
- pfranz 10y agoI work right next to a Sears. I've tried to buy things a couple times and it's always a huge pain. I almost always have to wait or hunt down someone to check me out, they often get confused at the process, they ask me for irrelevant things like my phone number and email address to sign me up for stuff I don't want. The process just takes way too long when it's obvious I'm in a hurry to leave.
- brilliantcode 10y agoIt seems like they won't even give a shit if people just walked out with the merchandise without paying.
