You know just realized this for some reason, but with the ability to make posts Wiki's it opens up some ways to let posters do a little bit of helping out. If you would be interested in that UPC List I know I wouldn't mind, and I'm sure a few others wouldn't either to keep that updated. I've used it a lot in the past as I've said a few times and it's kept me from walking out empty handed at least 2 or 3 times.

That way it's just one less thing you have to worry about keeping up with and maybe reduce some headaches. This thread has saved me a ton of money so I would be honored to do a little bit to contribute back.
 
Josh, I once swore away Kmart for good a while back...but goddammit, your deals keep pulling me back. I constantly walk away telling myself it will be the last time...yet find myself weaseling back. Especially last month with Portal 2, then LA Noir. *sigh*...now I know what a crack addict feels like...sorta.

Anyways, really looking forward to June edition. I hope you don't do anything extremely awesome for Infamous 2 since I want to keep my preorder at Amazon to get the preorder bonus...so please don't tempt me.

Anyways, from a former Kmart hater, I just wanted to say you're doing an awesome job!

If it wasn't for Josh's deals would anybody even think twice about putting up with this shit?[/QUOTE]


If it wasn't for Josh's deals or Josh's customer service, the latter being more important to me, I probably never would have set foot in a Kmart nor back into it after a couple bad experiences.


At this point in the game(no pun intended) I think all of us CAGers just need to bear w/ the unprofessional idiots at the store level. As time goes on and Josh makes changes to where Kmart deals can be accessed via online purchase we won't have to deal w/ the god awful service at the store level.
Sad part is there are some stores that are really good but bad new always takes precedent.

100%. I hadn't stepped 1 foot into a kmart for quite sometime. Josh's deals got me into the door and his customer service keeps me coming back. Even though I haven't needed him for anything, know that he's there to help is invaluable.
 
[quote name='SHC-Gamer']I haven't tried a dual coupon scenario, say a 15 on Alice that also spits out a $15 for Shadow...that would be cool. I may have to be funky with the redemption period but it has promise.[/QUOTE]

Hey just make sure you have your IT guys get it right ;)

I could see this kind of specific coupon either not working on one version or something or accidentally working on everything, the way that trying new things has gone in the past!
 
I really hope the top brass above Josh take a minute to read this thread once in a while and see how much he truly contributes to a customer returning and going as far as putting up w/ shady employees at the store level.
 
[quote name='SHC-Gamer']I cannot wait for this email........oh yes.[/QUOTE]

For the record, and for the sake of my conscience, I hope no one gets punished beyond any verbal reprimand for this incident. I have no interest in pointing out the flaws in any particular retail establishment and as I have had my fair share of mistakes in the same field....I posted this one merely because it was amusing and reflective of a "hostile" environment vis a vis online offers.

I will email you the location, but as I indicated I hope no ill effects outside of a coaching or whatever your retailer calls it. You were very kind in your initial email and that is why I am replying, as your true interest is not termination but proper training.

As my 2-trip Dirt 3 fiasco demonstrated this week, the aggravation is currently just about evenly worth the deals, which could swing in either direction at any time.

I wonder if we should just start collecting some sort of part-time pay for showing K-mart employees what the new games are, which boxes in which cage they are sitting in, and why they should really be put out in the case? Perhaps note down the time spent in stores and send Josh a monthly timesheet for HR? :D
 
Is Kmart gonna carry the Oblivion 5 year edition? I know it is very limited and want to preorder to be safe, however if Kmart is gonna carry I just assume to keep my business with them.

Josh posted earlier they have secured enough to have an inventory in stores...or something to that effect. You may want to get in contact with him or the other employee regarding your local store.

Just my direct boss unfortunately. My President and VP, two people I quite frankly adored have recently accepted positions at other companies.

My direct boss though, Jim Stella is the best man I know. He read this thread daily.
 
[quote name='jer7583']I don't think josh has ever offered title or publisher specific coupons. We should be thankful for that.

The new Alice apparently comes with the old PC alice game as well? That's really cool. I want that game.[/QUOTE]

Told the girlfriend about the first game being the second, and she went crazy. However, I'll probably pick it up from Amazon for her (since it's $15 off MSRP and comes with a nice soundtrack), I owe her anyways, she just picked up AvP: Hunter Edition for me.

You're wrong. That guy deserves to get fired. It's one thing to make a mistake. It's another to then get hostile towards a customer and then basically ruining the entire shopping experience.

If what you say is true, that manager should fire his ass right away and then give you an apology.
 
Hey Josh,
Thanks for all of your hard work.
I was wondering if there was any way to get an RSS feed setup with weekly deals?
I don't make it to this site all the time and would love to have something just hit my google reader feed and keep me in the loop.
I tried using the blog but it either doesn't work with rss or I'm just not doing it right.
Thanks!

Can you imagine the SNAFU when that was put into place with the inconsistent store numbers people have faced? All respect to kmart employees intended, but they can't even find new releases on Tuesday.

Josh would either die from stress or jump off a bridge :pray:

Not at all man.

I know you don't wanna be confrontational w/ the guy but seriously dude, next time he says something like that take out your cell phone and turn on the recording app.
Ask him if he as the fuckn balls to prove that he doesn't care if anyone knows how he feels about treating customers.

I'd rather not. My girlfriend told me I had a better chance of sticking my in a portal than in her any time soon if I continued pondering aloud why portal's do not exist yet and my frustrations therein around friends when playing multiplayer.

:lol:

I already vowed to my girlfriend that if I see him again I may swing on him so bring money for bail :lol:

Sarcasm aside, I meant to record the conversation but once he referred to Josh as a bafoon I lost my composure.

For God's sake don't take a swing at the guy.

I promise you that he will piss his pants if you ask him to nut up and speak so bravely into a recording device.


I know it's hard to do in that situation but never REact. Always ACT.

Hopefully Josh can send this up the right channels so this guy is fired by the end of the week.
 
I wouldn't want to take part in getting someone fired either, but if this guy really said the things that he did, especially using slurs against large segments of the population, he already has no interest on keeping his job. He's looking for a way out that he can convince himself was someone else's fault. Add to that that he deserves everything he gets and needs that metaphorical wake-up slap.

This. I hadn't even thought about KMart until Josh got involved here. I didn't buy games on release week or anything. Now, I buy nearly every game I care about on release week and even some games I didn't have interest in but the deal was too good to pass up. I haven't needed Josh for anything as my store has been absolutely phenomenal from their CS reps, to electronics employees, to managers but knowing if I have a problem it will be resolved is amazing.

As an aside, with regards to the comment that one employee made... I, personally, would want to see him fired for that. I mean, I understand people have 'bad' days and I've been guilty of them myself when I worked CS in retail but that's beyond a snarky remark to a difficult customer. His comment was so far inappropriate that if I was a fellow employee and knew that he made that comment and didn't see him get reprimanded appropriately for that, I would quit.
 
Awww, it's back up to $60? Nevermind then. And that Portal 2 sale was pretty awesome, if Alice: Madness Returns is getting similar treatment, we'll see if I'll drive out 10 miles to the nearest K-mart. Also, I agree with the above post, I never used to buy anything on release week/day until K-mart... it's ridiculous.
 
Bleh, too bad that points weekend isnt during the PS3 deal. Very doubtful one could go grab a PS3 this weekend and price match the June 5th deal and keep the points.
 
[quote name='SHC-Gamer']All I have to say is remember Portal 2[/QUOTE]
There's a good way of kind of "revealing" a deal. I dont know for sure which deal you meant for Portal 2 but either way the deal + the uncertainty on the quality of the title is enough for me to cancel at Amazon.

Speaking of the quality of a title, it always helps that Kmart is a B&M retailer. For many titles (All of those being released in June included) I just don't know if a game is going to be worth buying or not until reviews hit. At that point It's usually too close to release for me to order at Amazon, so if I decide I want the game I'll get it from Kmart B&M instead of ordering online and having to wait until after release date for a game to get to me.

Also, I think you made a good call leaving Hunted at a $15 coupon...the game releases in less than a week and I haven't seen or heard much of anything about it...even if it does turn out to be surprisingly good, the $15 coupon is enough for me to decide to get it at Kmart since no other retailer seems to be doing much of anything with it.

Josh is right, you're hilarious.

Seriously though I did forget about their deal. Oops. I don't really like TrU though unless they're throwing out $30 gift cards with games called Batman.
 
Hi Everyone. As of this message I have followed up with everyone who has emailed me this week. If you have not heard back please resend as I have not received it. Thanks!

I'll be starting the new thread tomorrow. I will list all of the titles with confirmed offers as well.

Damn, it's alright, I picked it up for the first time recently when GS had the GotY for $20. Sadly, 'twas the inferior 360 version (No PS3, much hate for Sony I has). Played it for ages every day for a week until I cleared everything but the challenge rooms. Pumped about Arkham City like no other game ever, doubt they'll do a repeat of that though.

Lmao, even my asinine bullshit comments have some degree of correctness and relevance? fuck, excuse me while I deflate my head.

Oh, you've seen him. He's secretly none other than... (points to random lurker!)

(makes him a nice fruit salad)
 
Major props to the folks at store #3353 (Blanding Blvd, Orange Park, FL) on Tuesday afternoon. Between *at least* three people (the people I directly saw/interacted with), they collaborated and thoroughly investigated all possible locations for Dirt 3 and ultimately found the only two existing copies (one each for 360/PS3) after about 15-20 minutes. (At least the second scouring of the warehouse.) Even if they never found them, they deserve credit for their time and effort during the search. During their running back & forth, I made sure to tell them individually I appreciated their efforts (and I also filled out the web survey).
