Sears

Alright so went to sears to buy some pans because their suppose to have a sale (thanks mass marketed newspaper ads!). Get there and I haven’t been to Sears in… well I haven’t been to Sears as an adult, so I look around to find some help because I don’t know where the kitchen section is. Now Sears being Sears I’m in the perfume section because that’s what you walk through to get to the actual store. Nobody there can direct me anywhere. Or to a person who can help me. At all. Anyways we wonder around a bit, and I realize Sears is pretty big. and messy. Stuff is all over the place. I get the feeling that they are EXTREMELY short staffed. We finally make it to the kitchen section and wonder all over the place unable to find this on sale pan. So we look for staff to help us. for 10 minutes. «I don’t work this department» or «I’m already helping another customer» is quite the common response, and I get it. But does anybody work here? Anyways after 10 minutes we give up and get another pan that we find is a great deal… all that work for a pan.

Taking portraits seem so 90’s to me. I remember back in the day when going to Sears to have professional pictures taken was popular. The only reason I did a couple weeks ago was because my daughter needed her passport picture. Many other businesses take passport pictures for your baby, but they don’t do it well and you’ll need to have it retaken when it gets rejected by the passport office. So save yourself the trouble and come here in the first place especially if your baby is under 6 months.
On top of having a quick passport picture session, Sears gives you a free portrait session and you get a 10X13 print out. Even though my daughter was fussy that morning, the photographer, Jas was able to get 5 good shots of her. Sure the background with cloud is a little cheesey, but I still like it.

My mom took me here ’cause she wanted photos to send to the relatives and thought that my candid pics taken for Facebook were inadequate. It was like going into a time machine. I suddenly had memories of when I was back in high school during school picture day. My mom didn’t think that it was funny that I was getting the photos done in my ugly holiday sweater and felt that I was being disrespectful. The backgrounds are outdated and so 90’s, however, it’s the so bad it’s good kind of thing. The people working there were helpful and final results packages are decent. I would come back with friends to do a collection of ugly sweater pics.
I also came to this location back in high school having missed the actual picture day itself. My mom wanted a collection of pics to send to relatives and we found that the Sears pictures turned out way better than the rushed school ones.
