I work in the route sales department.
My post regarding the paperwork goes to the detail we, as route salesmen, have to put into it before we can submit it AR.

Keep fuckin doubting K-sears!!

I can tell you that all of the paperwork you are asked to file becomes absolutely necessary to be able to support the A/R Department whenever it has to fight Chargebacks and Deductions that have become the new Revenue Center for companies.

50 posts would indicate that someone does... :shrug:

That or DC is just an attention whore....NTTAWWT... :p

Actually I do.....

Your problem now is that you have one large company that has no idea what it truly wants to be. And one that will now use it's buying power to force smaller profits margins down to it's suppliers while it tries to figure out what business model it wants to function under.

The people this hurts....Sear's & Kmart's vendor community, which in the end will cost your friend and neighbor's their job.

Innovative business owners will find new outlets. My wife's boss started in internet sales only 5 years ago to adapt and a company that was going bankrupt only a few years ago is now a thriving business once again.

There is always a market for the small businessman, just not a market that is consistent in one field.

Sorry 'bout that dude; but I still don't give a sh*t.

As long as I pay LESS for products in the end; otherwise, I'll go to Wal-Mart anyway. :hmmm:

Maybe, subconsciously, this is my way of gettin' even for the bastards that say "teachers only work 9 months a year" and they are just "glorified baby sitters."

Maybe, just maybe that's it.... :hmmm:

Eventually, you'll end up "giving a shit"....but by the time you do, it will be too late for you to do anything about it.

You're paying less, because in many cases it is an inferior product with a limited life...

Plus, i guess it doesn't matter to you that the jobs being lost now aren't manufacturing jobs....they are the service jobs that we all thought would never leave the mainland.

As for those "stable" teaching jobs you are comfortable with....I guess I won't "give a shit" when the school systems lose more teaching jobs becasue of a smaller tax base....or when home schooling becomes even more popular and teaching jobs are lost due to lost funding.

I guess we shouldn't give a shit about anyone then....

ROFL They're all the same...

Not in any Wal-mart in my area. FWIW, they just built a Wal-mart in a mostly affluent town, not far from me. The place is packed everytime I'm there.

That right there is my reason for shopping at Wal-mart. One stop. Their prices don't hurt, either...

Ah, your employer makes Ding-Dongs and Suzy-Qs...
