>checkout is slow For me, this is it in a nutshell. I worked next door (as in a 30 foot walk) from a Sears and popped in to quickly grab a couple things in a 30 minute gap between meetings. In 10 minutes, I had what I wanted, and got in line to checkout. I was the 6th person in line...and eventually put my stuff down and walked out because I still hadn't managed to check out 20 minutes later. There was only one employee handling checkout, and that employee was moving at a slower-than-glacial pace. Even though several other employees were milling around the various departments, no one came over to help. There are a lot of reasons Sears failed, but for me, making the most painful part of the process the part WHERE I GIVE THEM MONEY, was the last straw.
