I can think of a few other ways to use the acronym "POS" for a Sears product...

don't forget your head banger: CSAT

SBC, pronounced "S", "B", "C" - Star Bucks Coffee

We use a few acronyms in the electronics repair field:

IO - Idiot Operator (usually listed as an IO error)

PICNIC - Problem In Chair, Not In Computer

Then there's:

NGE - Not Good Enough

DUMB - DUe More Better

CSAT, pronounced "C", "SAT" - Customer Satisfaction rating

BS, pronounced "B" "and" "S" - Briggs and Stratton gasoline engine(s).

From the top of my head as far as Sears goes I can come up with:PA, SPP, MRA, MOD, CSAT, QMT, RTV, PMT, ROR, SOS, RAD/RAN, OOS, MSP, POG, SNC, CAS, CAC, CSM, CEM, ACR, MPU, CLX, RC, CCE, BC
