Fast forward 20 years and the slick faced 20 somethings that worked the department didn't know a phillips head screwdriver from a torx head. They would cluster around the register flirting with the cute 20 something gals working there and completely ignore customers. They literally didn't know where anything was, nothing, and would lead you on a wild goose chase up and down the isles looking until they gave up and you were on your own.
During this time Sears outsourced their tool production from the US to China and that was that as far a quality went. I was once proud to own "Craftsman" tools, now the brand didn't mean a thing.
Fortunately all my older tools are from the pre China days and are still something special to me.

I weed out the hardware staff by asking for a metric crescent wrench and gauging their response ;D
Hawkdancer:
Those are next to the left handed widgets and sky hooks! >:D (lol). Time to look for tools made in USA.

Meso, I have a metric crescent wrench. I lost a $5 bet with my Snap-On salesman years ago when he bet me he had one. It was marker metric on one side and standard on the other. >:( I still have it. :OK

I suppose I better go back to asking for a left handed smoke shifter or a magnetic infindibulator.

Long weights/waits are also good (lol)
"Hey Mac, can you go out the back and see if the long weight I ordered has come in yet?" :OK
