Don't blame Sears and Walmart--blame the hordes of people you see trooping in and out of there every day.
Including me. I've been trying to cut down on my Wallyworld excursions, but they seem to be the only place around here that sells groceries and doesn't require some sort of "membership card". And while I'm there it's hard not to wander over to sporting goods.....
But I don't buy knives there. Like I said, I am trying.....
