Anyone else miss Sears?

Sears used to have profit sharing with the employees. One could work there receive a retirement and some benefit from the stock price, typically beating inflation.
The corporate raiders took care of that.

Can't say that I miss Sears, but it was a choice. Bout only thing I got there was Tools or appliances. Things I don't really need to buy on a regular basis. I was never pleased with any Sears auto center. To big a ripoff like the Firestone/Good Year chain theft centers.

I miss all of those places to shop. Last major purchase I got at Sears was my 80 inch Sharp Color TV and stand. That was in 2010 or 2011. The day the video Avatar came out. i still have a lot of Sears tools.

Man, an 80" TV must have been super-expensive back then! I paid $1500 for a higher end Sony 40" back in 2009. That sucker still works fine. But it's not a smart TV, so we use it with a Roku streaming stick in our guest room.

Wish I could still say the same for our 65" Samsung which is just past its 2-year warranty. I just had the optical audio output port go bad, along with the eARC port.
