I don't shop at Sears very much but after reading this that was
sent to me by a friend I think I will make them one of my first stops.

least one thing at Sears this year?

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.

If it is, the Internet may have just become one very good source
of advertisement for your company. 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's cheaper at that store.
