For those of you interested in the ongoing destruction of Sears and Kmart, Joseph Russo (a former Sears employee) has a sorta-inside look at how it's going.
What he says about the shoddy condition of the buildings is true of the Kmart I've been going to for many years. What an utter dump that place is. Now, that might not matter to a lot of people these days if they can get the lowest price there…and it's been my observation that often, you can. It's just that in the one I frequented, service was often non-existent and amidst the decent stuff that you might want to purchase, there was an awful lot of crummy stuff that you didn't.
