Kmart

My visit to Kmart was like a roller coaster ride. Fast but at some points felt like it would never end. Ups and downs and then it was over. Years and years ago, they remodeled this place (20?) — they experimented by putting in a Pantry/​grocery section. What happened next? Walmart super center opened across the street. What’s happened since then? Walmart has gone rapidly down hill — they have a bit of an identity crisis. Kmart however, for better or for worse, through all it’s financial struggles, has been its unpretentious rough around the edges self. This place is a solid three stars.
I ordered clearance items off line. Bam! Filled in one hour. 4 stars. Picking up the items, listening to the grumblings and discussions between cashiers and service desk manager. Not in front of customers please. Back to 3 stars. The end.
PS why can’t walmart just pull merchandise off the shelf too when you order it online? No, they have to ship it from a warehouse and make you wait a few days. Kmarts got this one right!

This isn’t a bad K-​Mart. It is usually nice and clean with friendly staff. Stopped by tonight to walk off a meal. They were playing «Don’t Steal My Sunshine» by Len on the in-​store radio. That was kind of a nice touch.
They also had a better Star Wars and DC Multiverse action figure section than the Wal-​Mart across the street. This is a smaller K-​Mart than some, though, and sometimes they don’t have enough check out lanes open.
