Nordstrom making Election Day a holiday (chainstoreage.com)

Nordstrom wants to ensure that its employees have the time to vote on Nov. 3.

The department store retailer is making Election Day a holiday for all its U.S. employees. While Nordstrom stores and operations centers will remain open, the company will work with employees to set schedules which will enable them to get to the polls. It also will provide its store, fulfillment center, distribution center and call center employees discounted rides to the polls through Lyft.

“We believe every voice matters and our country is stronger when we all participate in the democratic process,” said Pete Nordstrom, president and chief brand officer. “This initiative is a direct result of feedback we heard from more than 50,000 Nordstrom employees from all regions of the U.S. They told us they want to be actively engaged in their communities and help find solutions to the challenges we’re facing. Enabling them to make their voices heard by voting is a meaningful and productive way we can support our people and our communities.”

Notary Publics and Paper Still Matter in a Digital World

In our digital world, you can pay bills and bank online, sign online contracts with an e-signature and click to accept terms and conditions. In fact, you don’t need to use a written signature for most day-to-day transactions. But there are still plenty of situations where it’s legally required to put pen to paper, and often those legal documents require a seal from a notary public. “People appreciate the added security that a notarized piece of paper brings,” says Ginger Shore, senior funding sales officer and notary public at North Carolina State Employee’s Credit Union. “I find myself providing notary services every single day. It’s still a very necessary part of the business and legal world.” A notary public is an official appointed by the state government to serve as an impartial witness and fraud deterrent during the signing of important documents.

A Perfect Storm Headed Our Way

These two major industry issues should have everyone’s attention: 1.A potentially significant change (not for the better) in how future postal rates are to be set; 2.The ramifications of a forthcoming Supreme Court ruling on the future of remote/internet sales taxes that could overturn over 50 years of precedent businesses nationwide have relied upon.
