That's pretty damn dumb.

Most places would be happy to have some uniformed police officers shopping there.

In New Orleans, it was the “officers” ripping off the store.

The guy was grinning the whole time he was asking me to leave. He said I was a deterrent to the store. Then he threw me out.

Sears needs to (publicly?) reprimand this guy. Firing I leave to their option.

But hey, I hardly shop at Sears anymore and if it goes to zero, who'd notice?

"They told me that while I was in the store, I'd probably interfere with thefts they were monitoring," Coy said. "I said, 'Well, that's great.' She said, 'No, it's not,' and that they paid people to monitor that activity."

Unbeleivalbe statement.
'Coy' she really isn't, is she?

Sears pays good money ($6.00 an hour) for guys to get excited and pretend to be cops.

With a REAL cop in the store, crime might be deterred, thereby not giving the wannabe the opportunity or need to flex his manliness and "authority", thereby negating the need for his job, but also negating his usefulness in life.

That officer must have given the Sears associate a ticket in the past.

Sears tried to blame their weak 1Q earnings today on the price of gas.

What a joke.

[Sloth]

OK, corporate apologies, but have they fired the personnel?

For 15 years I regularly broke a $20 Craftsman tool at least two to three times a year in the course of my job and took them all back for the lifetime guaranteed replacement.

I figure my $20 (actually it was $60 because I lost it twice and bought new ones) purchase cost them over $600-$700.

buffoonery!

A long time ago I was sent to be the Army veterinarian on an Air Force base, and my wife and I went to the local Sears in Grand Forks to get a washer and dryer. I filled out all the paperwork to get a Sears card and a credit application for the machines, but the next day the manager of Sear's credit department called me up and accused me of trying to commit fraud, i.e.: there are no veterinarians in the military, no Army personnel on Air Force bases, etc.

They eventually straightened it out, but we ended up getting a used set at a yard sale instead. To this day, even if my life depends on it, I don't do Sears.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I would think that a store would want thefts deterred. Period.

The Glades decided to buy the dishwasher elsewhere.

Well, Duh!

Sears should be ashamed. Besides many security people are backed up, yes, real police.

K-Mart is a chain I’ve hated for years. I do very little shopping at Sears since K-Mart bought them.

Any time they get bad press, it’s probably deserved.

"They told me that while I was in the store, I'd probably interfere with thefts they were monitoring," Coy said. "I said, 'Well, that's great.' She said, 'No, it's not,' and that they paid people to monitor that activity."

Heh. Here's a great example of a manager getting so lost in the details that she's totally lost the big picture.

"What forest? All these trees are in the way!"
