When I am looking for appliances, tools, whatever... "Sears" hasn't come to mind in 10 years.
Walmart is getting bad also. The closest Walmart to me is not worth going to - shelves seem to be chronically empty, employees are embarrassingly bad... just not worth it.
Lowes and Home Depot seem to be replacing Sears and Walmart.
I haven't been in their store in years until a few months ago I needed a certain metric socket right away. No one locally had one but Sears did. They had more tools out on the shelves that any other local stores. But then it took 20 minutes to find a clerk willing to take my money.
