Why did I stop shopping at Sears? There are multiple reasons. First, it is my opinion that Sears sells (mostly, excepting the screwdrivers and socket wrenches) inferior products at elevated prices. Second, I have found that Sears does not stand behind these products. Here I will site an incident where I purchased a digital Radial Arm Saw only to discover that its broken control module was no longer manufactured. Also, when I have called Sears for parts on my Kenmore washer I have been given bad information that wasted my time. In conclusion, we live in a disposable economy. We are trained to toss broken items and replace them. “Get the new and improved model!” The advertisements say although often, the only ‘improvement’ is a higher price. During every interaction that I have with Sears I can imagine the sound of a high-powered money-vacuum in its collective voice and I find myself acting as warily as I would with a man hawking watches on a street corner.

You have no idea of all the heads that have rolled since Eddie took over, neither do the retail anaylsts. Eddie is going to have to worry about EEOC and violating employment laws when it all comes out about what he has done. The writer of this article has no idea about the structure of Sears and what Lampert has done. Look at the freaking Board of Directors. Only ONE with any retail experience. And read all about Eddie's favorite piece of advice from Martinez, i.e. "getting rid of the old guard". Only Eddie thought he could do it and violate long established federal guidelines. His act now is one of desperation.

What a joke the author of this article is, I worked for Sears for 23 Years and bailed out because of the management tactics of Alwind Lewlis and Lampert. I was in management and got sick and tired of the logic of Lamperts plan to not invest capital into the stores and cut operations cost by reducing expenses all the way down the line on the P&L. Same store sales decrease every month from the time Lampert took the company into a holdings company. He cut inventory and placed the biggest butt there ever was as C.E.O. I am happy with my new management position with a great company LOWES! Thanks SHLD we are eating your lunch!

I hope Mr.Lampert looses everything just like he took everything from K-Mart shareholders and gave them nothing. I saw peoples life savings turn into nothing. He's a crook and I hope his companies go down and take him with them.

The author of this blog is as clueless as Eddie about retailing. The restructure is yet another desperate attempt by Eddie to manipulate the markets. Sure, you got a bump today in the price. Next, you'll announce the company is going to buy back a bunch of shares. Another bump. Big deal. When the dust settles, we'll find a once great icon of retailing buried beneath it. Eddie will be putting the final nail in the coffin. SHLD knows NOTHING about retailing...it's merely a holding company for Eddie's loot. Wake up everybody.

Yes? Eddie has been found out for what he really is. He is the worst person to ever take controle of a company. Well Eddie how does it feel Mr Big Man? I know a lot of good people you just sweep aside just so you could look like Mister Big Man. You should try selling hot dogs at a hot dog stand. Thats a real good place for you to end your carear.

Wait till the holidays and there are no associates to help you.
