I worked for Sears in the mid-`60s, and about all they were concerned 
about then was getting people to use credit for purchases, because it 
padded the bottom line nicely.


Christmas `66 was a horror show on steroids.  They'd just come out with 
a combination 8mm/Super 8 projector that, at least in our store, had 
about a 70% failure rate.  People were coming back for replacements in 
droves, and there were none left in stock.  Many a time I was _ordered_, 
_under protest_, to take the box upstairs, strip off the old tape and 
retape it and bring the box with the busted projector back down to give 
the customer as a "replacement."


Pretty much put me off of retail forever, that did.

Wouldn't know... haven't bought any since the local store refused to 
replace one that had lifetime warranty.


Cheers.
