Sears business model is well past it's prime, time to lay it to rest. I went to the Pearl Ridge Sears last week to get some staples for a particular model of Craftsman staple gun I own.  Spoke with one of their sales people and he said the don't have staple guns. I thanked him and then located what I needed in the store, but it took a good 15 minutes to complete the simple transaction. Thank goodness the on-line option is always available.
