Sears struggles for relevancy

Sears, Roebuck and Co., the all-purpose store of baby boomers' childhoods, is no one's store today.

That is because we choose to purchase everything from China via Wal-Mart. Our jobs are outsourced. Wal-mart usurps the money from and destroys the small businesses of local communities, destroys the local flavor and dissolves the community cohesion that we, the baby boomers were once used to. At least we have something to miss. I pity the youth of today and as has always been known, left to their own devices the youth of our communities will choose the wrong course. It is the Baby Boomers fault for selling out to our own ignorance.

Thank You,

Joe

you can bet your bippy sears will be struggling for relevancy. as for me, I will NEVER walk into a sears & roebuck store again. We paid TOP DOLLAR for the top of the line Kenmore refrigerator. Last week, we came back from a trip, and everything was thawed out. Next day we called Sears, THEY COULDN'T GET THE REPAIRMAN OUT FOR ONE WHOLE WEEK. so we called our own repairman, who came out and surveyed the problem, the compressor was out. SO TODAY, ONE WEEK LATER, THE SEARS REPAIRMAN COMES OUT TO CONFIRM THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS OUT, AND WILL NOT BE BACK UNTIL JULY 9TH TO INSTALL THE NEW COMPRESSOR. This is THREE WEEKS without our REFRIGERATOR! This is unacceptable, and I want the world to know about it. Goodbye Sears, it hasn't been nice knowing you. Now go out of business.

Sears is dying a slow death just like Montgomery Ward did. The problem with Sears is they haven't kept up with the times. Their strengths in tools and appliances have been taken away by stores such as Lowes. Sears tries to change their image every 15 minutes and never gives anything new a chance to work. They're the only retailer I've seen that has tires on the cover of their mothers day ad! Kmart is even worse. Filthy stores, merchandise just piled in. When Sears and Kmart merged they took two of the worst retailers and became just one big awful mess.
