The last time we were in a Sears store, the one clerk on the second floor
was overwhelmed with a long line of people trying to buy and/or return
clothing in the men's section.  Downstairs in the appliance and TV section,
there were 20 clerks standing around doing nothing.  Online shopping is so
much easier, I almost never go in brick and mortar stores.

Sears had a long history of popular catalogs but they never really caught
on to online shopping.
