I have always liked Sears, but for the longest time when I enter their store near me, I can walk a pretty good distance before I run into any people — customers or employees.

The very first credit card I ever had was from Sears. I was young and wet behind the years. But wow, a credit card! They actually accepted my application! That was when credit cards were not particularly common. I kept that card for decades.

But what finally soured me was they spun off their credit card operations to Citbank. The card said Sears but the billing was from Citbank. Now I was a loyal Sears customer for many years and didn't give a damn about Citibank. They were nothing to me. Absolutely nothing. I had good feelings about carrying my Sears card, my first credit card. Citibank? Meh.

In our local Sears, you have to walk past several empty checkout desks to find a clerk to take your money (I only go there once or twice a year).
I think I could camp in the store for a month and nobody would ever find me.
In the 60’s when I was a little kid they used to sell saddles - we always used to enter through the saddle dept & I thought I was in heaven from that leather smell.

Amazon has no people either. But you prefer to buy Amazon over peopleless Sears.
