Kmart

Purchased a Kenmore vacuum cleaner today and when I got it home and unboxed it I discovered it was used. Hair and dirt in canister and dirt all over in the box. No wonder they are losing customers if this is typical of Kmart.

All we want is to be able to check out with out 50 questions before they take your money. It takes forever to pay and they only have one cashier :(

Avoid. Long wait times, understaffed. Stood in line for 15 minutes before the cashier told me he was closing his line. Not an isolated issue, every time I go there, there two checkout lines open with about ten people in each line.
Much of the wait time is caused by the many questions the cashiers are forced to ask. «Are you a rewards member? Do you want to be a rewards member? Would you like to donate to this cause we are supporting? Would like to…» and so on. It’s pretty ridiculous.
Save yourself a headache and drive to Paso Robles and go to Target. Seriously, you’re doing yourself a favor by ignoring this place.

It’s great to have our nice little Kmart in town. Too bad when Walmart comes in, they will go out of business. I love this store.

I’ve been here more than a few times now and the customer service is below par, but it’s expected. It’s Kmart customer service. Where they don’t ask you if you need help, but you have to go down every aisle trying to find one employee who can help you. And 75% of the time they don’t know where to find that item.
Oh and did I mention the long wait lines? Waited nearly 20 minutes one time. 1 employee was working the cashier. 3 other employees were milling about. Then one miraculously looked up and we all thought they were going to open a new check out, nope. Just scurried away. 20 minutes later, two long lines were going (about 5 people in each) and even customer service was trying to help out.
I will hand Kmart the bone and say that the store was clean and that they do have cheap prices on home appliances and electronics.

Was pumped to check out the bike selection in our K-​Mart store. 2 racks of bikes, figured hey, I’m surely going to find a nice, affordable one here. Fell in love with a reasonably priced bike. Noticed the tires were flat, but that is not a big deal, since I’m sure it’s been sitting for a bit. Getting ready to wheel it up front to check out when I notice that the front wheel is bent. The wheel is literally wobbling as I push it up to the front. Sad when you can’t buy new goods in good condition. :C It would be nice if they had more staff, perhaps a sporting goods associate like they used to to help monitor this area, as well as help customers who have questions, or need help getting the heavy items off shelves. I’ve noticed in the past few years the availability of staff has gone way down, and that’s a shame, seeing as this is the only store of its kind in town.

I love coming here when there are sales. Somethings are pricey but you cant beat the customer service and cleanliness of the store.

Beware K Mart’s latest scam. Yesterday when checking out I noticed the system charged us full price for the 3 boxes of Kleenex that had been advertised in the Sunday circular at 3/​$ 5. This same sale price was clearly displayed on the shelf in the store. When asked the clerk explained she had no authorization to change prices from what the system charges so we should go stand in line at Customer Service to seek a refund. I told her I wasn’t up to standing in line and complained that she couldn’t give us the correct price. She said she could call the manager but it would be easier for us to go to Customer Service. I explained that it might be easier for HER but not for me just weeks after knee replacement surgery. By making it so difficult to get the advertised sale price I’m sure K Mart figures many people would simply pay the full price and move on. (We did not buy the blasted Kleenex out of principle). Shame on K Mart for such a shoddy business practice and/​or for such poor customer service.

There’s no reason to shop at K-​Mart. This store has gone downhill in many ways since I posted my original review.
Here’s a list of the reasons off the top of my head that I choose NOT to give this place any business:
— Electronics prices are always cheaper elsewhere for name brands
— Staff are hard to find if you need help
— The store is outdated and worn down, the minor updates still haven’t addressed large portions of the store
— Large portions of the store have completely empty shelves, they keep very low inventory levels of many staples, meaning you’ll be lucky to find what you want
— Kmart does not sell guns or ammo after giving in to the anti-​Second Amendment zealots, punishing law abiding citizens
— Milk is $ 4.50 a gallon, no joke
— The clothing they sell is of poor quality
— The parking lot is very hard to get in or out of from El Camino or San Anselmo
Basically, this store is horrible and a blight on Atascadero. I would not shed any tears if they went out of business, I would only cry for the poor employees that would be out of work. You’re better off taking your business elsewhere anyways.

It is a KMart. Clean. Nice staff. Good prices.

I like the layout, but I don’t like your prices come on K Mart $ 3.50 for a bag of chips? really? I could go anywhere else and get them for $ 2.50. and STOP WITH THE DELAYED QUESTIONIER ON THE CARD SWIPER WE DON’T LIKE IT AND NEITHER DO YOUR EMPLOYEES.
I try to avoid you as much as possible.

Yep Its a KMart. We have all been to many, I am sure. In our little town of Atascadero, we are lucky to have a clean well stocked store with a staff that has great attitudes! Enough said. Thanks KMart

This Kmart is a really good store. I have been to other Kmart stores that are messy, dirty and pretty much not taken care of. Maybe its because of the fact this Kmart is in a town of only 30,000 people, but I really enjoy going here. I have never had any problems with the staff, the stock, or the cleanliness. Even when Wal-​Mart comes to Atascadero, I will still go to this Kmart.
