more info on this?
Actually, if a TV or an electronic gets returned it's usually done through my department, if we can't find anything wrong with it wait about 2-3 days or whenever we get around to putting it out on the floor from the repair room it will be CRAZY reduced, employees can't hold anything, but if you're nice enough to the guys in the department they'll usually let you in on something.
We had one of those huge awesome Samsung fridges get returned a couple months ago that costs $1500+ and because it got returned and we couldn't find anything wrong with it it got marked down to $700, needless to say it didn't last long on the floor.
55 inch 3D LED Smart TV that costs $1200 got reduced to $500.
It all really depends on the kind of people working in the back, we have a say in how much it gets marked down.

I worked at Sears for over 4 years, and while some things may vary depending on the store, these guys are right on the money.Originally Posted by ErickM713

might have to introduce you to mr Benjamin ....
Texas, I work in one of the biggest stores in my city, I really can't say if what I posted goes for every store but like I said, usually there's a gem or two in the back room that just hasn't been put out on the floor yet.
Some stuff about Sears,
-If you buy ANYTHING that requires assembly, PLEASE DO NOT come to the store the next day demanding your stuff, no we aren't messing it up, no we're not just putting it off because we don't want to do it, we have a LONG list of things that need to be assembled and 9/10 the associate doesn't tell you that there's a 3 day waiting period for it to be assembled.
We had a lady buy a bike and show up 5 minutes later demanding it, we had just pulled it and got no notice that it was supposed to be assembled so we apologized and offered the one on the floor at a reduced price, (PRO TIP: If you ask for the display, as long as a manager approves it you can rack up discounts on it) she didn't want it so I had to drop what I was doing and assemble it for her and even then she didn't pick it up till 2 days later.
-If it says we have 10 in stock online, chances are we only have 2 in store, our counts are so messed up it's not even funny.
-The last time I posted in this kind of thread I said I used to punt boxes out the truck and drop TV's, yeah I don't do that anymore, it got to the point where I felt bad about doing it because, hell, how would you feel if you bought something and it was all messed up? I get on the other guys in the department for doing it now since I've been put in charge more and more lately, I'm not a model employee but I'm one of my supervisors favorites because I stopped cutting corners, even though we're both on the chopping block now.
-If your merchandise is damaged, please don't get angry at the guy who brought it out to you, if you're nice we WILL go out of our way and get you a new one, we'll even skip the return process you have to go through.
-Don't call the store angry that your washer, fridge, or dishwasher hasn't been delivered, we don't deal with that, we just pull the merchandise and set it up for delivery, it's the Sears delivery service that skips over some of their deliveries so they can go home early.
-If you bought something in the store and we didn't have it so it has to be delivered on our next truck, word to the wise, call after 2 to see if it's there.
Monday and Thursday we get appliance trucks, so if you bought a fridge call after 1 and it'll be ready for pick up.
Tuesday and Friday we get regular merchandise, call after 2 and we'll take a look and see if it came off the truck already, chances are it has.

Makes too much sense. And I know this big dude who's bouncing in clubs and he stay taking pictures with different $!$@%*, although that may not mean much I'm sure the stuff that the guy who worked in Orlando talked about happens frequently.Originally Posted by rck2sactown
No wonder so many kids my way are trying to be club promoters
trying to get wet!!!!
Are there certain days that you would get new inventory in or is it different from store to store? I'm always looking there forOriginally Posted by CaptainKicks

By the time it goes to collections, your credit score is already uffed up so it might not matter depending on the age of the debt. My old company used to buy million dollar portfolios of old debt that was already stat barred (statute of limitations already expired) for pennies on the dollar. Our job was to scare people into thinking they would get sued if they didn't pay their $600 Sears debt that was now $2200. Of course we would tell them that we would accept 50% of the $2200 if they could make a lump sum payment right away. What is messed up is that if you make a single payment (for any amount, even $1), that old debt is now "reactivated" as a new debt and can now be placed on your credit report as such.Originally Posted by maddog345
Won't your credit score be affected?
When they call me at work or on my cell, i send them a cease letter so they cant call me anymore. If they report me to the credit agency, I validate the debt with them, which they have to show proof they own the debt legally and allowed to collect in my state. Most of time it gets deleted and debt is gone once they realize im smarter then average bear.
I sued a few collection agency for violations and won $1500 at a time

Here goes...
I work at an organization for autistic adults/children. All the money they pullin in from the gov't and the parents, good god. You could either work at the school or work at the houses, i was at the school.
At the school, the main/important thing were trying to do is to get rid of their behaviors such as aggression, property damage, self injury, etc. Many of us dont care but we also try to educate them numbers, the ABC, and all that stuff.
-Half the time, when were lazy we take them to the gym, and just sit down and not a damb is given.
-We're required to fill out data on their behaviors, most of the time the data is bullcrap.
-If youre on good terms with the psychologist/supervisors/ or anybody with an upper position, you have a better chance with keeping your job.
-If the supervisors screw up, they will blame it on one of us.
-If your child is being stubborn, the staff WILL take them to the bathroom and handle it, i've seen it with my own eyes. Luckily my kid was chill
-At my job, theres a saying, "The less the parents know, the better"
-90% of the staff dont really give a damn about the kids, theyre just there for a paycheck.
-When parents or important people come from the county, they give you an alert to "look good"
If you have an autistic child or relative, please be careful with where you send them off to, dont just give them to anybody. Do the damn research Or better yet take care of them yourself.
Thats all i can come up with at the moment.
