Growing up, Sears was the place to shop. Half of my childhood home was probably bought at Sears. K Mart, on the other hand, was never an enjoyable place to shop. It seemed anytime I went into K Mart the only open line was on hold while the cashier waited on a price check. It has been over a decade since I have been in either one. I am torn. I buy more and more stuff online but I am wary of Amazons total domination of online shopping and I recognize the value of retail anchors to local communities and malls
Yea same here and my mom worked for Sears for 9 years for loss prevention so I was there a lot and it was amazing everything that was there. Lol you described my Kmart currently nooo
Yea I dont like being dependent on something like Amazon though I usually use Jet lol I like to go out to mom and pop shops solely for the service it provides and discounts they give me since I know them
I go to local bookstores and guitar shops and coffee shops. I try and support them over the big chain stores but most purchases are at large national or regional chain stores
Yea same here I like the idea of being in a place that feels homey as to say and knowing the people double my experience to shop.
