SEARS
Perhaps we should all think about doing some
Christmas shopping at Sears to say thanks to
their support. I assume you have all seen the
reports about how Sears is treating its
reservist employees who are called up?
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.
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. The next time you shop at Sears,
and make it soon, be sure to find a manager to
tell them why you are there so the company gets
the positive reinforcement it well deserves.
Pass it on.
So, someone decided to check it out before
sending it forward. The following e-mail was sent
to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this email 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
store. 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 was cheaper at the other store.
Here is their answer to my email...
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.
