I’ve been made an offer to join shop your way in Chicago which I understand is a division of sears, when researching the company’s I came across this board. What do ya think?

Seems someone is really trying to cheer Lee Kmart in the past few minutes and I have no idea why. Seems that they've sent out someone from corporate again to help boost and make it look okay and I tell you it's probably not going to work.
