Anyone remember when it was called Sears and Roebuck? My dad bought a ton of Craftsman tools there, back when said tools would last. The last Craftsman tools I bought there years ago were crap. I quit shopping there when they forced you to use the Discover card and wouldn't accept Visa or MC. That was 25+ years ago when they owned Discover, but they did away with that rule due to backlash. When I was growing up in the 1960s, Sears was THE big department store to shop at in Austin, TX. But the times have changed and Sears is now a nearly extinct dinosaur.
I not only remember when they were called Sears and Roebuck, but I remember back when Craftsman tools were synonymous with quality, as was their Kenmore brand of appliances.

Very sad indeed.
