Ken
I took your advice. I voted for Sears over ten times. That was the only way I could vote for K-Mart who has the worst service and merchandise of any store. What is strange, is that no matter now many times I voted for them, they still ended up at 1%. That means they must have gotten at least 1000 votes. I don’t believe for a minute that 1000 people voted for Sears. Like most union votes, this one is rigged.

Once WMW gets their hands on the survey, it is unionized. I have a great deal of problem understanding how anyone could possibly prefer Sears/K-Mart over Walmart. Sears K-Mart customer service is terrible at best; non existent at worse. They don’t even have a decent selection of products.
As bad as you think WM might be, it does not even come close to comparing with Sears/K-Mart. It is strictly the union enfluence. Ken had it right when he said vote often and WMW encouraged the vote by saying that the respondents should go to the “W"s.
In spite of Consumerists non-bias, the only place I have seen this survey is on WMW.
