I think Sears has gone into the bit bucket.  They used to be a dependable
source of acceptable, low-priced merchandise with short waits (5 mins max)
at their catalog counters when I lived in Massachusetts.  Now, in Calif.,
let me tell you about fitted sheets too small to fit the size bed they're
supposed to fit, pillows of synthetic materials that reek to high heaven
of petroleum by-products (or something), 40 minute plus waits and salespeople
who don't give a %^$*&, and they have a really bad rep for car repairs locally.
