Sears - Christmas shopping
this year.

I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn't always my first
choice. It's amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and
Sears hasn't withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at
least one thing at Sears this year?

How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military
duty? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available,
but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits
as a result of being called up for active duty.

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining
all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all
called up reservist employees for up to two years.
I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be
recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at
least once, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are
there so the company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it
well deserves.
Pass it on.
I decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the
following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If it
is, the internet may have just become one very good source of
advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy
products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if
it's cheaper at that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer:
Thank you for contacting Sears.The information is factual. We
appreciate your positive feedback.
Sears regards service to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our
young men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen
the burden they bear at this time.

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be recognized
for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as
Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!!

Isn't that great? It warms our hearts in this cold cruel climate to learn that at least some of our brave troops are being treated fairly by their employers before they were members of the Armed Forces.

Sears deserves a salute - perhaps in the form of a purchase!

Just bought a new fridge and dishwasher from Sears!

I've also made several purchases there in the past year....a window air conditioner for my garage, a dishwasher, fridge, and a really cool weed whacker that has a drill attachment starter.  The folks who run the place now are very friendly and usually able to answer questions about products.  Yet one more reason why I never shop at you-know-where.
