rant: Sears Sucks

On 30 Jul 2015, John Larkin wrote

It?s corporate policy to maximize profits to the shareholders. Good customer service costs. The balance is reached and maintained: not so much CS that it takes away from the bottom line, yet enough lip-service so as to keep most of the customers from launching class-actions.

Customers don't need class action. They can stay away one at a time, and tell a few other people to stay away.

The Sears bankrupcy will feed a lot of lawyers.

It's not corporate policy (to maximize profits for shareholders). It's federal law. Pissing off customers doesn't seem to be the right way to go, though.

Some seem to have already made a career of it.

Like K-Mart's did.

They can pull a Donald Trump and rent out the Sears tower to business clients at twice what the square footage is worth.

It's a goddamned shame the nation's power companies got 'privatized'.

Shitty, leaky insulators everywhere losing a lot of what gets generated and a bunch of assholes running the show too goddamned stupid to keep things in good order.

Kind of like you and your mind and body.

Or go cheap and call it the Kenmore Tower.

Well, if you called it the Craftsman tower, nobody would dare be within a block of it. ;)

A pity. I remember when Craftsman tools were decent. I still have a set of their combination wrenches from almost 40 years ago--clunkier than Snap-On, for sure, but survived a lot of abuse.

That would be a good trick, AlwaysWrong, because Sears hasn't owned the building for a couple of decades. It's not even called the "Sears Tower" anymore.

AlwaysWrong, the nation's power companies are (almost all) private corporations. They didn't "get" privatized, they always were. They all should be, moron. The government does such a good job of everything.

AlwaysWrong once again shows why he's called "AlwaysWrong".

We're all on the way down, AlwaysWrong. Well, except for you. You've been brain-dead since birth.
