Sears’ dinosaur business practices go back to way before the internet. My company was a vendor to them in the eighties, and dealing with them was like trying to jetski with an ocean liner. They not only couldn’t change, they didn’t want to. Also, they were corrupt; the buyer we worked with would literally come with a list of things he wanted as a bribe: expensive watches, a Caribbean vacation, blah blah. It was gross but you sucked it up because of the big numbers involved.
