SEXUAL SOLICITATION BY SEARS EMPLOYEE BEING BROADCAST LIVE ON YOU-TUBE USING THE LINK BELOW:

Years ago, after my divorce, I was broke. Really broke. I was stuck
with $20K debt that wasn't mine (it was his) and struggling. Then one
day, I arrived home from work (via the bus) to discover that I had
left my keys at work. I had a dog with some digestive issues at the
time, and I needed in the house ASAP in order to take her outside.
Taking the next bus back downtown, going to the office, getting my
keys, and then taking the next bus home ... well, I probably would
have been dealing with quite a mess by the time I got into the house.

I called a locksmith from the neighbor's house. It was going to cost
me $80. $80 I didn't have. As I stood on my enclosed front porch
with the locksmith, debating as to whether I thought my bank card
would go through for this guy, I thought, "Hey, I'm hot, he's cute, I
could offer... and not get stuck with $80 and potentially NSF hits as
well...." I mean, heck, I was married to an alcoholic, I'd sure done
it with someone very undesirable and for nothing in return. At least
this way, I would get into my locked house.

But for some reason, I just felt like I was worth more than $80.
Maybe if it would have cost $200 to get me into my house....

What if when the man talked about "other ways" to pay, he was
referring to getting you signed up for a Sear credit card??

I recently had over $700 worth of work done at Firestone and when I
mentioned to the sales rep I had taken cash from my savings account to
pay, he said, there were other options, A Firestone card being one of
those options.

Personally, if what you are saying happened to me, the LAST thing I
would do would be post it in this manner. I would find an attorney
post haste. I would think an attorney would take the case on
contingency.

I find it interesting that you're complaining about this but you sent
it as a COMPLIMENT.

I lost all sympathy when you restricted listening to the recording to
African-American women only. All women can be victims of this type of
solicitation just as all children, not just African American can be
victims of abuse. You should speak for all!

Also, when someone tells me there's another way besides cash to pay,
I'm thinking more along the lines of debit/plastic.

This video gave me a headache...

Any lawyers correct me if I'm mistaken, but is posting this on a
public board really the best way to go about a lawsuit?

Yup, I see this form of communication as very effective. Generic,
wide-ranging threats with the race card thrown in for good measure.

Sadly, the link has been removed. How disappointing, because I so
want to know how auto repair, race and sexual solicitation fit
together. Ah, what might have been.

Although I am not an african american woman, I was still interested in
hearing this exchange. I agree that if this happened, it shouldn't
have. I went to your site and read your statement. Then I hit play
and read your statement again as it scrolled through the screen - this
time along with some music to further dramatize it. Then I gave up.

If this is true, they should refund you any expenses that you are out.
They should probably go a bit above and beyond, but I don't agree
that they should settle for 3,000. Is there a reason to suspect that
Sears condoned this behavior? Is it possible that they have in some
way acted on the info that you gave them? IMO, an employee behaved
badly - very badly, you reported it (as you should). I see no reason
for this to turn into a payday for you. Sorry.

" which is only available for black women to hear."


Hmm, that sounds pretty racist to me. Why can't us white folk listen
to it?

"We will let any any black woman listen to the audio and see our
evidence that requests to."

I should say, however, that the OP is a child abuse survivor and has
devoted much of her life to being an author on child abuse issues and
to being an advocate on issues of abuse.

that reads only black women can read the complaint on YouTube. But,
uh...well I guess we just never figured out how to stop all from
viewing it.

Still...selling out for $3,000 just makes the claim that there was
sexual solicitation even harder to believe. Since when can you put a
price on ones dignity and being disrespected as a human being?

This is why Sears pushed this whole issue aside. You were willing to
brush this all aside for a mear $3,000.

If I were solicitated as you state this woman/child was then I would
be doing a hell of a lot more than asking for $3,000.
