Sears Does Right By Reservists

> 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. > > > > Suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves. > > > > Pass it on. > > > > So I decided to check it out before I sent it forward. I sent the following email 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. > > > > Bill Thorn > > Sears Customer Care > > webcenter@sears.com > > 1-800-349-4358 > > > > 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!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a cute photo of dogs dressed for a Manger scene. You have probably seen it before, it's titled "Fleas Navidad"!

Somewhat irreverent so I haven't ever posted it.

For all the stores that celebrate Christmas - the Manger Scene

For all the stores that do not - the FLEAS!

Qwest Communications does the same for their military employees.

So does EDS.

Probably followed his master, snicker.

Hard to get dog photos, probably took many shots to get it just right.

I am pretty sure that Sears also uses the word Christmas. At least they did last year.

Sears is an excellent company!

Thanks DC. I always hesitated to post that but devolve said 'go ahead' so I devised a good reason for it, lol.

Good for Sears. I am glad to hear they are doing good things for our veterans. It's so nice to finally see a story that's not about some corporation behaving badly. Kudos to Sears.

I can spend a couple of hours browsing in Walmart, lol.

I can spend a couply of hours trying to find a parking spot, and then walking the 732 miles from Bum F**K Egypt to the front doors! Man, when ever I go to the Walmart, the place is always packed.

Yes, it's packed here too but you must be in a larger city. At least you get your exercise, lol.
