Come to think of it, other than to walk thru a Sears at the mall to get
from one store to another and trying to avoid the gaggle of appliance
and electronics sales folk who descend like vultures on a piece of meat
as you walk by, I haven't been to a check out counter at Sears since I
took a 3/8 drive ratchet back for replacement about 12 years ago.
The shitbirds handed me a little paper package w/ new ratchet guts in it
and said "here ya go".

Didn't say you did, just made a comment towards your Bah,
when I think its good to know something like this.
I took a ratchet back that I lost in the summer in my back drive. I
bladed over it that winter and found it the next spring. Rusty and
all they handed me another.
It took me 5 weeks to get a problem with order for a GPS settle, then
they hesitated to give it to me for the same sale price of 100 bucks
off. I told them it wasn't my fault that they screwed up the order
and had to cancel it. So they owed me the difference of the 100
bucks. After being on hold for about 5 minutes they credit my
account, so they said. 1 week later I called back and I was told be
patient I will get it. 1 week later I called back and was told that
there wasn't any thing filed towards it yet. That was yesterday,
today, I see my account is credited the 100 bucks. I think they just
thought I was going to let it go.
