Kudos to Sears!

In the previous post, I praised Nordstrom for showing some restraint with the Christmas marketing.

On the other end of the shopping spectrum is Sears, who are doing two even bigger and better things:

• For any employees who’ve been called up to serve in the war, Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for up to two years. This is above and beyond what most employers will do.
• Sears will make a donation to Heroes at Home — a charity that helps military families and veterans in need across America by making necessary repairs, improvements or modifications to their homes — for every credit card purchase made at any of its Sears stores from November 9 to December 28 up to $1 million, and for every gift card purchased during that time up to $100,000.
