OK, So I went to K-Mart to check out what they had left over from the big sale and it was a good reminder of why I hated that place so much in the first place. Here's why I hated that place in the first place. About 2 years ago I walked in wearing my backpack because I bike around and I need it to carry stuff around when I buy it you know. I walk all the way to the electronics section after battling my way through a bunch of freakin little kids running around and some piece of shit security guard says I have to check my bag in to the service area. That's like 150 feet away... with a wall of little kids running around basically making it a 5 minute endavor. I said well can I just look in this area, which was the electronics area and he did that thing where he would step in front of me so I couldn't get through thing so I went to the service area to leave my bag and I asked for a ticket or something so that they would know it was my bag but they didn't do that there. They just keep your bags and I gurantee that if someone else would have ask for my bag they would have got it so I just asked for my bag back and left.
So I keep away from that store for about 2 years. The next time I went into there was for an interview because I quit my job and was looking for another one and had gone in to get an application (without my backpack) . When I turned my application in I got a call that same night for an interview the following Monday. I show up to the interview. I go to the service area and let them know that I had an interview and they called who they needed to let know and they tell me to wait a few minutes. THen I wait a few more. Then I wait a few more. I waited 45 minutes for the
in interview and I was there on time, in fact I was there early so that they would know there was someone waiting for an interview. I finally get into the intervies and other than greeting herself these were the first words that came out of her mouth. "I'm sorry but when I called I didn't really read the applications." The whole interview was about 5 minutes and she told me that the person in charge of hiring wasn't working and she told me to come back when he was so she schedueled me an interview with him in 2 days.
I come back for the 2nd interview. Tell the service desk again and this time I waited only a mere 30 minutes. Eventually I end up with the same lady that interviewed me the first time and she totally forgot who I even was and that I even had an interview. Not only that but the time my interview started the hiring guy was already off for the day. I didn't even make it into the office this time. That was roughly late last August. I didn't step in there until Yesterday just to check out the "sale".
I go in there with my backpack on of course, after all I plan on buying stuff, and once again I make it to the electronic department and I was checking the games for about 5 minutes then this plain clothed "security" guy tells me that I have to put my bag up front and he even gets 2 other employees to watch and follow me. Now here's the thing. I walk in with clean clothes, bright colors and easily noticeable. The "security" guy looked more like a theif than I did. There were a bunch of people that had dirty clothes that looked like bums walking around with heavy coats on when it was like 65 degrees outside. They let women walkaround with purses on their sides and they don't get any shit but it's way easier to steal stuff by hiding it in a heavy coat or stuffing it in a purse on your side rather than having to take my backpack off of my back and unzipping it to put something in it and put it back on my back. But anyway. This point I already have some games in my hand and pretty much everything good is gone so I just said can I check out. So I check out and for some reason they are more eager to ring me up than the 3 other people that are in front of me... As if that wasn't bad enough, when the cashier starts to ring the games up one of them didn't scan as 50% off but it was in the bin. It was Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 for the GameCube. In my mind I knew that the game was most likely not on sale but it was in the bin so I'm getting it for sale price. It scans as $29.99. I tell him that that's supposed to be half off (note: I work at the R-Zone in TRU so I know what games are generally going for ) then he tells me that it did and now I have to make him look bad. I start raising my voice when there are a bunch of people in line, and I tell him that that's not half off and once again he says that that's the sale price then I say "you telling me that that game is originally $60.00 when all other new games are $50.00 at most?" he shut up, tried to do a price change but needed a manager to do so but he just sent me to another register up front to get the price change.
Even with the sale the prices are just OK at the best but it definitely wasn't worth all that. I was just int the store for about 15 minutes too. All I can say is the next time I go to K-Mart is when they close down.
