But like I said this was years ago, so I do not know if the company has changed any. I think you will be fine. What area will you be working? Basically with a store like Sears, most people who come in have all intentions of buying. Just be friendly, not too pushy, and informative. I'm sure you will do fine. Best of Luck!
