This post will be a little depressing to some of you, so you might want to
read
it with a friend - and then wonder why prices might be a little higher at
Sears.
I was at the Sears Hardware in Alsip, IL last week, checking out at the
register.
This big kid in a winter parka sauntered in and started crusing the tool
aisles,
up and down, up and down. One of the older male employees called for
help,
but all they would do was stand a couple of aisles away with their backs
to the
kid. It was pretty obvious what was happening. The next day I went in
for
something or other and asked the old guy if what I thought I was seeing
was
what was really happening, and he said, yeah, on a daily basis. Many of
the
Sears Hardware stores are going under. They're staffed with a skeleton
crew
of mimimum wage employees whose only self-defense training is for punching
themselves in the chest to get the pacemaker going again, so they aren't
going to run out the door to tackle the guys. So if you want to add to
your
tool collection, come over to Sears Hardware. It's open season.
You're not actually encouraging theft, are you?
