Cleveland, Ohio Lines: 16 Andrew Koenig: I recently got a form letter from Sears saying something like: "Dear customer: We see that you recently bought something from us. Wouldn't you like to have a Sears credit card? Just fill in this handy application...." Thing is, I made the purchase in question with my Sears card... And how ELSE would they have known your address? That form letter has absolutely NO valid purpose! There must be some kind of internal contest among Sears employees: "Use every means at your disposal to GET EVERY MAN, WOMAN, CHILD, AND PET TO CARRY A Sears CREDIT CARD, OR *E*L*S*E* !" Bizarre store. Wow. Dave Decot
