Got this little gem from the Guardian WatchBlog (HERE). Guess who's getting a little extra consideration when I have to go shopping?
-----Excerpt from the Guardian WatchBlog-----
Fwd: Good News !!!!!! 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.
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.
Pass it on.
A friend of mine, not certain whether this was true (or whether it was still in effect), sent the following email to Sears today:
Is there any truth to this email? I am ex military and was in the national guard. I would love to forward this on but want to know if there is any truth to it before I do so. Thanks in advance.

Their reply was short, but to the point:
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.
