Gross) Newsgroups: net.consumers Subject: Sears and CASH Message-ID: <1045@pegasus.UUCP> Date: Wed, 7-Mar-84 22:46:17 EST Article-I.D.: pegasus.1045 Posted: Wed Mar 7 22:46:17 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 8-Mar-84 19:27:15 EST Organization: AT&T Information Systems, Lincroft NJ Lines: 12 I purchased a small refrigerator for my office at Sears and chose to pay for it in CASH. The cashier was flabergasted, and was not sure how to handle a cash purchase that big! She did not have enough change in her drawers, because NOBODY ever payed them ~$160 in cash. She kept asking whether I had a credit card, or would prefer to pay by check. Naturally, she asked if I wanted to apply for a Sears Credit card. The part that really bugged me was that she kept trying to sell me a maintenance policy for another $35. I would rather buy a new refrigerator when it eventually broke down, than to go through the hassle of getting the refrigerator out of the building and back to Sears for repair. I have already received two phone calls offering the same policy. Don't they know to give up?
