Slo-Mo Looting
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. |
