It goes back to companies having a heart, which is one of the reasons I shop at sears.

They don't unless you've been there for a year full-time, not even vacation time. Heart doesn't make profits. I guess I'm speaking from the prospective of the guy who tried to maximize profits. We're talking about stores with 40 to 60% annual turnover so it saves a lot of money by not giving benefits out for a year. Salary positions still get the benefits right away. You used to get benefits as a Full-time hourly after 3 months, but they changed that about 3-4 years ago. A buddy of mine is an hourly LP Manager he hasn't received a raise in 3 years because the company froze increases for hourly workers. Also the guy who took over my position makes $16,000 a year less than me.
