Kmart

Love K-​mart, Hate this one. First off they’re understaffed all year long so be prepared to wait in a long line. Second off the managers are snotty and unprofessional, mostly a black haired woman who goes by Swan, Stay away from her, shes very unprofessional and I’ve witnessed her raise her voice at customers on the sales floor more than once. Last but not least, Its a very messy yet very dead store.

STAY AWAY!!! Horrible, incompetent staff. Filthy, disgusting store, with over priced for sale items piled in then aisles! I have never written Unilocal review in my life. this place set me over the edge– I canceled my Layaway with them over a year ago and have still yet to receive my money back. They now, «Cannot find me in their system». total bullshit. Stay away, call corporate 847−286−2500.

I have been waiting for this store to close for 25 years. It has been disappointing me for the same. I’ll stop going there for a few years; then I’ll go back only to find the same experience: apathetic staff, incompetently manufactured shoddy merchandise over-​priced and poorly displayed (or piled in the aisle), no prices on most things, long lines at the check-​stand behind people trying to buy their Kenny Chesney/​Nascar t-​shirt with food stamps. This store is a filthy shit-​hole. Cannot understand how they’ve remained in business all these years. Whatever.

My experience with this Kmart is absolutely disgusting… There’s a short stubby lady named Kelly, or Kellie however you spell her name (which lives in Gardnerville) who is extremely rude to her co workers and customers. Do not shop here unless you want this criminal to jack up your total price upon check out. She also wears pants that are so tight on her stubby body that when she bends over, her pants will rip, and you’ll be blinded by her pale white butt.

This place was a little frustrating. I was surprised how long it took to get us checked out and I only used one coupon! The store is well stocked but be sure not to use a coupon. I wished they would train the cashiers more because it is such a great store. I forgot to grab another item and I was walking out the door. I decided to just walk to Raleys instead of dealing with another K-​Mart associate.

KMART, if not the only place in South Shore (South Lake Tahoe) to buy everyday items. Me, in particular am always looking for the Newest DVD/​BLURAY releases. When you think department stores you think friendly staff, nice well taken store, and stocked well to be openly honest this location of Kmart just simply looks like a Goodwill store or thift store, floor tiles all cracked n not taken care of, employees are rude or just act like your not there an plain an Simple don’t care. The tiles on the roof look like they haven’t been clean since they opened. Barely any good DVDs or Bluray Selection. Had emailed corporate about these issues but apparently they haven’t even thought of looking into this. Will I go shopping here? Maybe in urgent need but NO! think I’ll go to Carson/​Reno

Every time I go in this place it ends in frustration and saying to my self I’m never going in there again!
It’s like all the bad Kmart joke came true in one store.
Check out lines a mile long.
Can’t find the item I’m looking for and can’t find someone to ask.
Can’t find the price of the item if you can find it.
The price aren’t even very cheep!
I got Amazon prime so hopefully I won’t be going back.

Went shopping for a Christmas tree at this store. My husband and I had a difficult time getting the attention of anyone to help us. The associate who finally did assist us was nice but not very knowledgeable. He gave us the bar code off the particular tree we wanted and told us to pay for it at the register. He then directed us to an off site garden center location (which is a bad setup if you ask me) to pick up our tree. He allegedly called ahead and the garden center employee was getting out tree out of the warehouse. So after standing in line close to 20 minutes to check out (because they have multiple registers but never more than one open at any given time) we went to pick up our tree. We get to the garden center and were told rudely that the tree we’d purchased wasn’t even in stock. He offered no apoligies and didn’t even attempt to offer us an alternative tree. After that we had to go BACK to the main store for a refund. We told the service desk person what happened and his response was, «Sorry, we are short staffed. Didn’t you see the help wanted sign when you came in?» Not acceptable if you ask me! The moral to the story: don’t EVER shop here! It’ll only lead to disappointment!

Went back today and the broken shelves I returned were back on the shelf to sell again. This has been the worst experience ever

Only shopping store in town. Employees are laid back. Store needs a makeover though. They have a horrible electronics section. They need more in that department for sure.

Not impressed, but gets the job done.
Workers were chatting and having a good time.
I got an email that my pickup is ready, but it was not. The guy had to go to the electronics section to grab my items.

Customer service, customer service, customer service! Apparently no one who works here has ever heard this term before, and that’s when you can actually find an employee in the store to ask anything! I’d rather go to Walmart in Carson than deal with this mess of a store and it’s rude employees!

In south lake you have very few options for shopping. This is a highlight, you can get worms for fishing here along w the rod, hooks, etc. The other great find here are souvenirs. Of course like any Kmart, there are low end clothes, linens, detergents, food, and even shoes.

Needs better check out service… 30 minutes is crazy

Not really a fan of this kmart, always seems disorganized. Employees seem to hate their jobs, and never know where to find anything. I always go in here thinking it’s gonna have good deals like wal Mart or something, but it’s so over priced for the quality of goods.

I’m almost embarrassed to review Kmart, but here it is. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 since they hire local youth. Most of them are very helpful & happy to have a job. But this place must send out engraved invitations to all the riff raff lurkers of Tahoe because they’re all concentrated here in one place.
This store could be a virtual GOLDMINE if operated right. But they have crappy stuff for ridiculously high prices & there’s usually only one check stand open. I bought some Easter items, paid with cash & brought my own bag. Still took half an hour to pay & I ended up with a useless wad of paper cash register waste. So much for being green, Kmart is a main contributor to future landfill pollution.

Living in Tahoe with almost close to nothing to shop at, leaves me going to Kmart.
I don’t go here much, because I normally run my errands in Carson city or Reno on my days off. Unless I really need something, that’s when I’ll go to Kmart.
It’s pretty unorganized, but I had some pretty damn outstanding service here. The people who works here that have helped me are super friendly. Especially this one guy who works at the front cash registers. He’s always very pleasant to see whenever I come here. I haven’t seen him in awhile, so I don’t even know of he’s still working there. But he’s the main reason for the stars!
If they up kept their store like their customer service, then this what’ve been a much better review!

If you guys are going to offer services, like check cashing, especially that your reward members use, you should be able to cover it. There is nothing more frustrating as a person who supports your business and then you turn around and say «Opps sorry. We have no way to cover that»

When you’re in a pinch and need that one hard-​to-​find item that could make your stay in Tahoe comfortable, you rely on Kmart. I went to a few stores trying to simply find men’s thermal pants, and alas I landed on Kmart and they had it. Since then, I revisited the place multiple times to get what I needed.
Yes, it’s a large imposing chain like Wal-​Mart, but it’s much needed out here in Tahoe.

I try my best not to shop here, but sometimes you’re in a pinch.
Very poor quality items, you can get much better elsewhere for the same price.
I’ve had a lot of trouble with figuring out prices in the past, as things are not lined up correctly on the shelves.
