Why do we pay for 'service' when it's this poor?

I buy non-powered hand tools at Sears and nothing else. Bought a new refrigerator from them 30 years ago and after paying them $50 for delivery before the Christmas Holiday got it a week late after days of hell raising with them. Sorry Bustards and yes that is why they are broke.

Most of my tools are Craftsman. I have a nice ratchet set and a bunch of other tools. I live in an apartment, so I'm not Mr. Fixer Upper. Just little stuff you need for minor repairs. If something big needs to be fixed, I call maintenance.

My wife does that. Unfortunately, my number must be listed under maintenance on her phone.

There was a time that I would answer my phone "tech support," but she has gotten much better about that.
