On this point, even the Sears men were not to be trusted.Kathi Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380037164148416426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-36687914096505720942008-02-01T12:02:00.000-08:002008-02-01T12:02:00.000-08:00It is so sad about Sears!

My mom bought all her appliances from Sears because she knew a competent repairman would show up promptly if she had a problem. <BR/><BR/>Oh, how they have slipped, and slipped, and slipped!

And you delivered! And I feel delicious company in the frustration of dirty repair men (last repair guy in my house tried to lean a FILTHY, muddy cardboard box against one of my large original oil paintings - and then looked at me like I was the maniac when I moved it for him - TWICE), so I feel you and and will rant vicariously through you.UmberDovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15897533875971637080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-8479929907208456212008-02-01T09:18:00.000-08:002008-02-01T09:18:00.000-08:00I'm happy everything is fixed now.

We had one muddy-soled fellow walk through my house (hardwood and carpet) and left terrible stains on my off-white carpet -- far WORSE than what my six children have done. I wanted to harm him.lerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915229045413130688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-65535615129287563442008-01-31T17:07:00.000-08:002008-01-31T17:07:00.000-08:00He doesn't sound smart enough to have made your ov...He doesn't sound smart enough to have made your oven not go on protest for deeply un-kosher foods.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12795753563127975720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-29998134265046865882008-01-31T06:10:00.000-08:002008-01-31T06:10:00.000-08:00I was gonna say - I thought alot of the repair guy...I was gonna say - I thought alot of the repair guys wore those little slip on covers these days - I know the Time Warner cable guy does (we're on our third cable box THIS WEEK! Finally someone's coming out tonite to figure out what's gone wrong!)<BR/><BR/>As for Sears - when I was doing the big appliance shopping spree last summer, my boss told me to go to Sears for such great prices (we've learned not to trust his suggestions). We both felt SO dirty after coming out of there, with their sleazy "I just wanna make a commission" salesmen who weren't really willing to help you find what you wanted, but sure wanted to make sure you had their name if you DID make a purchase. Blech. No more Sears for us!<BR/><BR/>Ended out trying, on a whim, hhgregg, and had REALLY great service, great pricing, a great deal since we were buying more than one appliance, etc. Sure, it still felt like he was being our best friend 'cause he knew we were looking for some big ticket items, but hey, I'll whore myself out and do the fake schmoozing if that's what it takes.<BR/><BR/>So far, so good, no problems. Oh, and while our ranges look almost exactly the same, (I think the handles are different colors?), mine's a GE. I should post a pic... I assume you can replace that center grate with a griddle? Don't you love it!?Jephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843262392217281569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-90101754323018395882008-01-31T05:05:00.000-08:002008-01-31T05:05:00.000-08:00Please tell me that you'll send this tale off to t...Please tell me that you'll send this tale off to the Sears Repair Powers That Be. They should really know what a dofus they sent over. It also might get you on a 'never send dopes to this house' list. <BR/><BR/>The other bonus is they might refund some of your dough. That happened with us when the installation dude installed the range hood with the wires poking out of the wall, running for three inches around the stud, then poking back in. Sigh.carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17057697830808391027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-75028294757773255402008-01-30T20:08:00.000-08:002008-01-30T20:08:00.000-08:00You're hysterical Finny! Poor, poor repairman -- ...You're hysterical Finny! Poor, poor repairman -- bet he didn't even see you coming! Can we now assume that you've learned your lesson and won't be shopping there anymore? When I was a little girl, my mom refused to step foot in Sears because of some "shoddy" (as she put it) baby clothes she had purchased. Therefore, it never became a staple in my life. Guess I had a shortcut to the lesson. ;-)Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-62226441900480576992008-01-30T19:17:00.000-08:002008-01-30T19:17:00.000-08:00I can't wait to plop "jackassery" into a conversat...I can't wait to plop "jackassery" into a conversation. <BR/><BR/>My Sears dude also wore little booties in the house.

I mean, I was glad, but since when has that window ever indicated that you'd better be dressed by ten til?<BR/><BR/>My guy wore the little slippers over his shoes. So sorry. And Sears has also seen the last of me for entirely different reasons, but I'm happy to add another justification thanks to your tale of woe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15363790.post-74459327168141050792008-01-30T17:01:00.000-08:002008-01-30T17:01:00.000-08:00Oy.

Get this - when I had to call Sears to get our washer fixed, the repairman (who was rather....odd) called me into the laundry room to ask me if I wear underwire bras. Cause you know, sometimes the wire comes out and gets stuck places in the washer. AS IF I'm going to discuss my bra habits with the Sears repairman!!! Not happening.

Thankfully they haven't screwed with the tool section.<BR/><BR/>Here's a nightmare scenario: Hypothetically,Sears buys your ISP or your wireless provider.
