Went into sears for the first time in YEARS today. Was very surprised by what I saw. The store was very clean and organized. The Christmas decor was very nice and bright. Workers welcomed me as I walked through the store also. Found some great deals and nice clothing selection. Bought my husband some clothing for Christmas by Outdoor Life that was very nice. I was very surprised.

I'm glad that you had a good experience, I just had a bad one with them and won't be back.
Must have been one heck of an experience, seeing as how they had to make two threads about it.
What's the correct name? Sears, division of K-Mart?
Good experience from Sears earlier this week. I was looking for a bacteriostat to treat the water in my humidifier. The parts list for the humidifier offered a quart for about 7 dollars plus about the same amount for shipping. Got a quart at Sears for $3.99. That is enough for about two and a half months.
By the way, any of you who use an evaporative type humidifier--you should be adding a liquid bacteriostat to the water placed in that equipment. Humidifiers can support the Legionella bacteria, which cause a very serious form of pneumonia. I have been told that using 8 drops of Clorox per gallon is an adequate preventive, but as cheap as the bacteriostat is, I believe I will stick with it.
I've always liked Sears but it is a place I only shop at maybe 3 to 4 times a year. We got our refrigerator there about 3 years ago. They do well as an appliance store I think. As they do stand behind their products.

Did they really make 2 threads about it? If so, it's most likely a spam bot. I don't see the other one but maybe it got deleted.
Yes, they posted the same thing word for word under "feedback" and "misc". There were other ads too, looks like they deleted all but a couple of them.
Contendah, Thanks for the tip about a bacteriostat needing to be added to the humidifier water. That could save someone from catching a serious disease.
I may go into Sears 2x per year. And that's twice as many times as I visit the rest of the mall yearly.
Since my office quit wearing shirt and ties years ago, my clothing budget is about a net nothing. When I retired, I got two pairs of blue jean shorts at Wal Mart, an Auburn shirt and an Alabama shirt. I won't win any fashion contests, but screw it. I'm comfy not spending more than $100 a year on clothing and not visiting malls.
