Kmart

This store might not be too great nowadays since it’s not actually a Big Kmart anymore. My family went there for a long while. All I find now is some quality essentials. Many of the items, especially the grocery foods are well reduced and less hard to find. Prices are not probably as good as Walmart. It’s like it hasn’t been changed moderately in a while now.
If you loved shopping at this place, just give another plan to find low-​priced sales. If I we’re you, I’d do the same. If I ever wanted to come back to this place, that’s my last shot! Otherwise, I might not go again.
Kmart has just lost a sense of humor and just gave their rights to other retail stores.

Lived here in Vernon for 16 years — I now HATE THIS STORE – why is there rarely more than 2 or 3 registers open when there are so many? Why is it that so frequently something is not priced or not priced correctly, then you’re lucky if you get through the register in 10 minutes with only 1 person ahead of you? Why do they give you 70 feet of register tape and coupons? Why isn’t a manager ever there to solve, or even better, demonstrate what customer service is? Why do the bathrooms ALWAYS stink and need a cleaning? Why are products never organized? Why are prices no longer worth putting up with all the other issues? Sorry Kmart – you are the same level as Walmart for me… no longer a customer at either. I wasted 25 minutes in line, with only 1 customer in front of me while they tried to find a price… only other register had same issue… many many people waiting… manager never apologized, never got on a register to help others waiting, timid sales girl was embarrassed but had minimal knowledge of what to do. Done wasting minutes of my life I will never get back. I will now drive farther to NOT go to Kmart.

I don’t know many other Kmart locations. And this particular Kmart is a depressing place these days. With the success of the Dollar Store, Walmart and Target cartels in low-​end retail, it’s hard to understand how this store is even still around and relevant.
The only reason I ever found myself here is because of «targeted» (pun intended) shopping. Outside of a website deal, seasonal discount, or coupons for a specific item — I rarely find myself having a reason to come here. Prices are good when things are on sale, otherwise it’s not much different than what you would find elsewhere.
Remember Service Merchandise or Caldor? That’s exactly what Kmart is now.

Went there today to pick up few things and noticed what I thought were wiper blades on sale for a decent price, normally about $ 14 on sale for about $ 7
So I grab 3 sets for the wife’s car, my car, and truck. when I get to the register I have the cashier do a price check on the wipers, they come up full price. Casey was her name and she was very nice. She calls on the phone to get a runner and no one’s around. Someone at the service desk finally gets another runner named Dan to check on the price. Dan also is polite and says they are not on sale. We both go back to the wiper isle and it’s only a 17 inch wiper that has a price drop.
Who the heck puts one size wiper out of the 50 or so wipers on sale /​on price drop. I’ve never heard of such a ridiculous thing.

This is not any employees doing, but upper management. and poor management at that.
It’s no wonder Kmart looses money every quarter.

I look at K-​Mart as the largest convenience store in Vernon. Sadly, there are a few issues with this store, none of which will be fixed in the foreseeable future due to the company’s financial condition.
1. Walking in this store, it feels as though you’re stepping back in time to a 1970s K-​Mart. This store was opened in the early 70s… I don’t believe they’ve done a thing to it since.
2. Things tend to go out of stock quickly when they’re on sale. Why have a sale if only the first few guests are going to get the product?
3. Prices aren’t all that good here anymore. K-​Mart used to be less expensive. Not anymore.
4. It’s the biggest pain in the neck in all of Vernon for getting checked out in an efficient manner. If you want to pay for your goods quickly, do not shop here. I’ve never seen slower checkouts. And it really doesn’t matter what time of day you’re in the store – they’re always as slow as slow can be.
But, it is what it is. It’s a place to run in and grab an item or two that’s necessary at home. Yet after you grab those items, you have to pray you can get home before you retire or your child goes to college. The register lines tend to be a vortex of space and time. Only use this location if you have a bit if time on your hands and you’re not in a hurry.

Let just say I go to KMART for the convenience and location… However it is no longer convenient. It is the holiday season and why they only have two registers open which at the time both were on hold due to merchandise not ringing correctly. Lines were so long I had to wait for 20 mins until I back out of line nad went to jewlery o see if she could ring me. Thankfully she did and she was very pleasant even after hearing me rant and rave about the crappy management in that place. I much rather go to Target

I like it here, prices are cheap the clothing is the same quality as any Target or Walmart, the employees are helpful. They sell all the same major brands as the other box stores but there sales are better and I love their rewards program it works at Sears and a couple of other stores too. If you are part of the rewards club returns are never an issue! I for one hope they never leave, although the décor is deffanitly in need of a serious facelift to come into the twenty first Centry but it’s worth stopping in!

Does anyone actually shop here? I find this store so depressing. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s the barren shelves, the poor decorating choices, the horrible lighting or the hopelessness on the employees faces. On the rare occasion I go to KMart they never have what I’m looking for and I find myself questioning my sanity. I would much rather take a drive to Manchester and go to Wal Mart or Target instead. How does this place stay in business?
