Apparently Sears doesn't believe any

Apparently Sears doesn't believe any of it's customers live outside the US. Twice in the past year I tried to change my address to my German address.....twice it failed. Finally asked to speak to a manager after the third attempt culminated in "Frankfurt Germany......what state is that??" Still had problems with the manager, as apparently a state is necessary for their system and she couldn't find anything that said Germany. But she did find Europe in the list, so she used that. DUUUHHH. The phone number also caused a problem because it's longer that the usual 10-digit US numbers. ARGGGH.

My apartment search is actively on now...I've looked at three so far and have plenty more highlighted in the newspaper to call.

Oh, just one thing I've noticed as a difference between Frankfurt and Munich.... In Munich, the bicycle part of the sidewalk is red. Here in Frankfurt, it appears that the PEDESTRIAN part of the sidewalk is red. Just when I get used to one convention, they go and change it on me. :) Posted by Jinglelady at November 19, 2002 09:17 AM | Previous Blog | TrackBack
