Thread: Sears sure has changed, for the worse!

Pat, we had something like that in our basement when I was a kid. It was a little pot belly stove with water pipes going into it, and a galvanized water tank next to it. Every morning my Dad would have to go down, open the little door on the front, and add coal so we would have hot water to bath with. It was about 3 feet high, as I recall, and pot bellly shaped. I had forgotten all about that one.

I doubt it, Jack. The way things are at Sears these days they are probably going to get rid of some people they found out who were giving good customer service. Can't have those kinds of trouble makers around, ya know.

my grandparents had a Coldspot stand up freezer they bought new in 1959. it ran until 2005 when they finally unplugged it because the bottom had rusted out completly from sitting in the damp basement.

My house is a Sears house, built in 1923. Very well built for the time.

Yep a lot of the 1910's-1920's homes were Craftsman right from the catalog. Lots of beautiful built-in hard wood features back then. The fact that they still stand are are all over the place not to mention sought after is a testament to the old Sears company! They styling back then is timeless!

This makes me very unhappy to hear this. I've also had a similar experience in returning hand tools. Sears isn't very pleasant when I bring in my tools for replacement.

My Snap-on man still comes around every other Wedensday.... Haven't been in a Sears store for 10 years or so, doesn't sound like there's any reason to go.....

The main problem for sears is all the good people that take advantage of the return policy. Like everything else today, to many looking for a way around paying their own way in life . I could insert Unions here but I will refrain.

I was a witness to a clown that would get a law mower in the beginning of spring and bring it back in the fall, used the damn thing all summer. It was the norm here in Ga with the local hicks. That is what you have today irresponsible low life's gaming the system. So I do not blame the Sears of the world it is your neighbor that is the reason..

People steal and a store cannot stay in business and pay the employees loosing money. So if you steal it will come back no one gets away with it, problem is the rest of us suffer for the thief's bad habits . I do not know bout anyone else but I have never seen a thief ever have anything nice, they are alway broke down and their stuff is always crap.

rant over

I didn't know they had Sears stores in Ga or Earth,US
