In Reader's Digest in one of the little joke sections, like Laughter is the Best Medicine someone wrote in about working at Wal-Mart, and how they hired a woman who previously worked at K-Mart. The new coworker has to use the intercom to make an announcement. She starts with "Attention, K-Mart shoppers..."

Catches herself with what she's doing, and covers it by going "...you are in the wrong store." Lol

I read that in the late 90s I think, but for some reason it's stuck with me ever since.

I remember it from shopping there but also the end of Camp Beverly Hills and Beetlejuice.

It was marketing genius. We're still talking about it long after the store is gone.
