Sounds like a good way to make $5 every visit. Just fill out a bogus
application with a bogus name and address. You get $5, the salesman
gets a commission, and Sears gets what it deserves.

THE ABOVE IS ONLY SPECULATION, AND IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO DISOBEY
ANY LAWS OR ORDINANCES. KIDS, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. CHECK WITH LOCAL
POLICE BEFORE TRYING.
