Rumor Has It Pt. II

This goes in the “Oh no they didn’t” or “what were they thinking” file. Rumor has it that on “black” Friday Kmart and Sears, were so moved by compassion for the citizens of Decatur that they approved many and I mean many people for store credit cards. The recipients of the credit card were not the usual pretty good credit type shoppers. Oh no! These credit card recipients were from the lower echelon of the credit scale.

As the rumor spread throughout the inner city of the generosity of Sears and Kmart, many of the lowly, disenfranchised, and non-mobile shoppers forged their way to the two promised lands successfully navigating the customer service counters to hit the JACKPOT. Many of the credit challenged and unemployed were rewarded with … Are you ready for this $2300-5000!

In the check out line shoppers reported hearing the beneficiaries boldly proclaiming "I ain't paying this back" and they (Sears and Kmart) were dumb enough to give me a credit card. Needless to say the inventory of plasma, LCD and DLP televisions were depleted. Then the electronics were hit next. The term “black” Friday has a new special meaning to Decatur. What say you?
