Sears Watch

From a Sears employee, "I am so sick and tired of hearing how good it is that Sears has picked up the iMac. I work for Sears and have been a Mac user since there were first Macs; 1984! Bottom line reality Sears pays its computer salesmen by commission (get it ? this is how they make a living PERIOD!) The iMac pays a 1%, that's ONE PERCENT, commission. So a saleman makes himself a whooping $12 to sell an iMac as opposed to higher commission rates for PCs. Get a grip, I wouldn't even sell the iMac! Until this extremely low commission issue is address NO Sears computer salesman will take the time to learn, use or sell iMacs. Deal with reality, a guy has to make a living."
