Based on the findings, one thing is clear: People aren’t crazy about Sears.
Sears Holdings Corporation, which owns Sears and Kmart, earned a 64.09 out of 100, giving it the lowest grade of any other retail company in the poll—even lower than McDonald’s (72.39) and Walmart (68.52), which weren’t even in the bottom five. And this was no one-off Sears smearing. The American Customer Satisfaction Index’s 2017 retail report ranked Sears as the second most hated department or discount store, just ahead of Walmart.

Apparently, reputation speaks wonders too: The company has closed about 2,500 Sears and Kmart stores over the past decade as it’s struggled to compete with online competitors and department stores with better reputations.
I don't necessarily hate Sears. I always get excited in the tool department.
