My Christmas shopping plan just got simple. I’m going to try to do it all at Sears. I really hate to shop – I’d rather go to the dentist – but this year I won’t mind so much. This email is why:
Subject: Sears – Christmas shopping has already started
I know I needed this reminder since Sears isn’t always my first choice for shopping. Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they haven’t withdrawn from their commitment.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.
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, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.
I checked Snopes and it’s True. So I’m going to shop at Sears (and sears.com) and then send a letter explaining why to:
Sears National Customer Relations
3333 Beverly Road
Hoffman Estates, IL 60179
