American comedian Ron White frequently tells a story about how his van was damaged in a comedic way by the technicians at a Sears Automotive Center in Savannah, GA. This week, that Sears Automotive Center is being torn down. While the shopping mall that former Sears location is a part of is otherwise doing well, the Sears has been closed for years. The department store end-cap building and the car service center in its out-parcel property are being demolished to make way for the development of a new apartment complex.
A link to Ron preforming the story for a live audience.
Yeah I felt sorry for the staff. When I would check out towards the end the cashier would insist they had to have my phone number. And they wouldn't admit to there being any way to bypass it. I actually memorized the store phone number and gave that to them on the rare occasion I went there any more.
