Last month, I went looking for a lawnmower. I stopped at the Sears near Valencia, California while visiting a friend and saw one I liked, then tried to buy it at a Sears in Rancho Cucamonga, California near where I live. That store and all stores within 40 miles within the Rancho Cucamonga store were out of stock of the one I wanted. The clerk said they didn't have an OOS sign on the merchandise because of management. I was thinking to myself, "What flippin' management?" They also would not sell me the display model… Stupid. Also the Ranch Cucamonga store was pricing the item $20 higher than the Valencia store… What an incompetent sister retail operation they've become. It is pathetic. I went to Lowes instead and got a lawnmower I wanted without any hassle.
