sears is a sinking ship.
if the apathy and miserable loneliness that i notice at my local sears is similar to what happens at your sears, you may notice it. and it could drag you down. i know i definitely notice it.
coworkers might not be as kind as you'd like, if they know that they're gonna get laid off sooner or later anyway. again, apathy. (and some other emotions) 
of course, that's not certain, especially if yours is gonna stick around for a little while longer....
what position did you apply for? i hope you follow up on the application by calling them to inquire about it, but it's hard to straddle the line between not showing enough interest in the position and being far too pushy.
i've applied for a lot of sales associate type jobs at big companies, called several times to inquire, but i only ever got one interview. funnily enough that was my first ever job application.
i'm sure the 90% is an exaggeration. 
what do you mean by inappropriate stuff? when i don't know whether or not to say something, i err on the side of caution and don't say it. that often doesn't work since i'm rather impulsive anyway, but so far i've done alright.
think of the generic phrases someone in your position would say. practice them. it'd help if you know someone who has your job, or one similar.

That is why I chose sears because they are sinking. I figure it would not affect me as bad if I get fired or have issues socially.
An example of inappropriate stuff I walk up to a clerk and ask how they know the olives have not had sex for them to be put in the extra virgin olive oil. I only said that to a friend working at a store once.
I know not to say that to a customer and such but similar issues will arise.
