Sears Telemarketers

Janis of Ft. Worth TX (6/27/03):
Today and yesterday and who knows how many other countless times, we have been the recipient of the monotonous, monotone, pushy telemarketing caller who is in some way connected to Sears.

Today, I called to speak with Sears' president. Of course, that was not possible. I did speak with one of a group of people who takes calls for him and asked that we be removed from all telemarketing lists that involve Sears. Sears, the family store, along with countless other irritating telemarketers, is invading the privacy of the family, their customers. We hear so often that families are falling apart and don't even have intelligent discussions at the evening table. How can they?! As soon as dinner is served, if not before, the telephone rings and continues to ring throughout the evening meal.

People are terminally ill in their homes and they and their families must deal with the seamy tactics of telemarketing. People are hurrying off to hospitals to visit ill and dying loved ones and must answer these calls. They are preparing for funerals of their loved ones, expecting emergency family phone calls only to be rudely pushed by telemarketers.

If Sears wants to serve the American family then Mr. Lacey, please be the business leader who declares to the American public that Sears will no longer be party to invading the privacy of our homes...the very place that is supposed to be our haven from the world. If you want to improve your bottom line and have the respect of this nation, please lead in this effort. We will run to your doors. Will you please forward this message to Mr. Lacey.
