Speaking of Sears....does anyone remember department stores would play a series of bells/tones, that were actually coded messages for management? My mom worked at Wards, and explained that they were codes: IE: 1 bell= manager pick-up white-phone 2 bells = Asst. Manager pick-up white-phone 3 bells = Security needed in office.. Etc. This was in a time when people had loftier expectations of their shopping experience, and were unaccustomed being distracted by store-logistics. Something as uncouth as a zit-faced kid overdriving a microphone, sounding like Charlie Browns teacher, as he affected some sort of inane communication....would certainly be considered an unwelcome interruption, and reason to shop elsewhere. As it still should be. Do dept. stores still do this?
