Sears

This store (and company) has gone down hill over the last 10 years. This particular location has friendly staff, but they seem to need more training. When my wife was purchasing a shirt we had to find a register, which took a bit as most were not staffed. Then we found a register with one customer in line having some sort of issue. We looked for another register, only to find yet another associate having a problem scanning merchandise. At this point it was sort of a game for us to find a way to check-​out. We finally just waited in line at the last register we found. After waiting for 10 minutes for one customer to checkout with one pair of pants, we were able to pay. On the way out, we passed the first register we went to and the same customer was being helped.
This is just one example of the types of things that happen at Sears each time we visit. I now refuse to go when my wife needs to look for something. But I must reiterate that the staff through any troubles we had, had always been friendly. It just seems lack of training has plagued yet another State College establishment.

Maybe few will care, but this is the only place I could find in town where they know how to take photographs for Canadian passports. They have the right templates, and already know all the annoying things that must be done right. Not cheap though: $ 19.99+taxes.
