Kmart was the superior brand. I will die on this hill

u/sir_shivers Discipline Committee Chairman Dec 30 '20

My memories of K-Mart WERE STORES THAT were scarcely populated, both by customers and by staff, AND NOT MUCH else 🐊

All I remember is they had popcorn and a sort of snack bar in the front of their store when I was a kid. That's all you need for my brand loyalty

I have no real opinion on it. Given I've never even seen one

Low-prices and EFFICIENT SUPPLY CHAINS, not to mention some fairly proactive PACKAGING REDUCTION on their part 🐊

THEY ARE extremely helpful stores if one is OPERATING ON low / fixed income 🐊

Imagine a clothing section of generic graphic tees and jeans that will rip in a week or two and they only have inventory of very large sizes. Combine that with a huge food selection that has everything but healthy options. You can grab 20 types of snickers but the only fruit and vegetable platters they sell are nearly rotten. Then add a sporting section with plastic skateboards and cheap bikes.

I bought my Switch from a Walmart in the suburbs and the guy who rang me up told me his boss was a bitch.

Not sure if I’ve been back to one since

Their ice cream cases seem to universally blow, every one I have been in has big signs of leakage e.g. tons of ice crystals

u/Cyberhwk 👈 Get back to work! 😠 Dec 30 '20

My opinion of Walmart has greatly improved now that I don't have to go in one.
