Thought you might want to share this information.



Let's all shop at Sears!!!!!!

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
