Margita says "Great job! Can you believe even the Little Ceasar's . . " about Kmart - Durham, NC

Margita — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:18:08 GMT

Can you believe even the Little Ceasar's inside the KMarts are better than those free standing? The employees are polite, clean, and very helpful.

I went to a Little Ceasar's on the way home fromn KMart because the one inside was closed. It was a diappointment. Then, in Charlotte, I went to a third Little Ceasar's. It was the worst. People jumping in line, who wants to wait an hour for a hot-n-ready pizza that will be stale by then, when the "happy hour" is over?

Under the watchful eye of KMart, I love Little Ceasar's. Without KMart to keep them straight, it's not even the same place.

People need to know right now that ********* stupid little trick of putting litte Ceasar's next to their stores is not going to work! I hope it drives people to Kmart, when they see the difference.

Margita says "Spoiled on KMart Now" about Kmart Store

Margita — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:18:06 GMT

Houdiniphile got me spoiled on KMart. The noticeable difference in quality of food is striking. There is less selection of food, but it better quality, significantly. more economical meat choices for family budgeting, conveniently sized things to buy. Clearance wine. There was no clearance wine at Harris Teeter, a local grocery chain. the local discount store has food that I question the safety of, and even if it is fresh enough, it is not "good" enough.

I am not a heavy drinker, but I wanted a glass of wine and the low price was good. The associates helped me figure out what to buy, which cut of meat I needed to cook for me and a friend. Also, leave it to KMart to have 10/$10 on lunchables and other items that run you $2.59 at regular stores. They have the newest beverages. They are competitive in what they do carry.

I am a Konvert to KMart. I was in the grocery store tonite and I just left, and said, I 'll go to Super K once a week, not having to compromise on quality or price.

ideaspark says "Portrait studio at Tyrone Mall in St. Pete - Mitzy is the best!" about Sears Portrait Studio

ideaspark — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:50:57 GMT

We left a private photographer when our daughter was 9 months old to give Sears a try. (The shoots with the private photographer were exhausting with a little one, expensive, and we were always left with too many photos to sort through.) We lucked out big time and got Mitzy as our Sears photographer. She was very creative, super fast, great with our daughter and every photo she took was perfect. Four years later and we still go to Mitzy, even though we've moved out of town and it takes an hour to get that that Sears. We've done large family photos with her, too, and she is GREAT! I'd highly recommend Mitzy if you live in St. Pete and are looking for a great photographer. What's more Sears has a lot of great deals on portrait packages and is always running some kind of special that really helps keep things affordable for families.

The only downside is having to place your order pretty much on the spot after the photos are taken. And if they are busy, this may mean a lot of waiting. They...

Margita says "Helped me find my style" about Kmart - Charlotte, NC

Margita — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:16:25 GMT

I actually thought that I would have no sense of style at all. I am 21 and just had a baby. I sold all my modeling clothes, and did away with the plaid schoolgirl clothes I wore as a teenager.

******* was not feminine enough and I prefer not to shop there. I found the clothing at ****** to be pretentious, and it didn't suit me, The clothes also seemed a little boxy. I have new curves. and I wanted clothes that fit.

So I went to KMart and found flattering clothes that are stylish, reliable, never falls apart, fits like a dream, and now I have a new image. There is a wonderful selection of career wear as well. I fell in love with Joe Boxer, Jackie Smith, and Faded Glory. The jeans are straight in the waist and have room in the hips. I like those. There are always terrific cargo pants on sale so much cheaper than Old Navy.

emabenhall says "Pharmacy Service Needs Improvement" about Walmart Customer Service

emabenhall — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 21:17:16 GMT

On most occasions when I have attempted to have prescriptions filled at different Walmart Stores in North Carolina, the wait was twice as long as I was advised it would be.

I waited on a long line, just to be informed that my prescription was not ready. On several occasions the service persons' attitude was less than cordial, or apologetic.

I suggest that Walmart implement a system where you can find out if the prescription will take longer than indicated, without waiting on line to get this information. It also would be considerate if Walmart responded to telephone complaints.

loridan says "Poor Customer Service. Greggory Portland,TX Needs ALOT of work" about Kmart Store

loridan — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:08:42 GMT

The cashier was too busy talking to other cashier at another register. Heather did not greet or acknowlegde me. She did not even tell me the total of the sale. only after handing what I knew would cover the balance did i notice my items rang up wrong. In a low snide voice Heather says 'well you'll just have to go to Customer Service.'

Than over at the Customer Service were 3 cashiers getting change, of which Alyssa slowly took care of. When Alyssa was able to assist me she was on the phone. So I didn't get to explain that the items rang up wrong and I just ended up returning them. I was so mad by the time i left there! I was just happy to leave. I have more than 10yrs experience in customer service and I can tell you that this store 1400 Wildcat Drive Greggory Portland, TX needs help!

rayman says "Mall of America Sears" about Sears - Minneapolis, MN

rayman — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:43:00 GMT

I visited this store and was impressed by it's size in selection. The store was pretty nice on the inside, however some things were outdated, such as maps and signs. While the electronics section had too many employees, apparel did not have enough. The selection was good, however I thought the appliance selection was on the small side, but tools seemed a little bit too big. I thought the service desk was close enough to the mall and parking lot entrances, for an easy way to check out when leaving the store or the mall. Being located in America's largest mall, and one of the most visited shopping destinations in the world, I expected to see everything up to date. But the store signs are the same ones they've had when the mall opened in 1992 ,including the 3 story entrance inside the mall, and the exterior signs near the top of 80 foot high mall. Sears, please update this store, and have it become one the model of what people expect Sears to be like.

jedie1989 says "Another great Super Kmart." about Kmart - Robinson, PA

jedie1989 — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 12:45:54 GMT

I was on a ride when I happened to see this store. I was impressed with it. It was clean and very nice. This is a very large store with a great big variety of items. The grocery selection was great as well. Like all other Super Kmarts I have visited it really was a peasure to visit. It had lots of sales going on at that time and everone was friendly. We used the restrooms inside and they were clean as well, which has been an issue at some kmart stores (mainly the regular kmarts, haven't had trouble at Super Kmart Center locations as they tend to be a little cleaner and neater inside).

jedie1989 says "This kmart rocks!" about Kmart - Niles, OH

jedie1989 — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 13:02:56 GMT

We visited this particular Super Kmart Center last year and I must say it was beyond nice, but then again all Super K's are. They had a huge selection of groceries and household items. The prices were low (comparable to *********) and the service was friendly(unlike *********). This store as I remember was very clean and very large inside. They had lots of nice displays up. All in all the store was very inviting. I would absolutely recommened this sore to anyone who wants to save money and get all they need at a Kmart price (even groceries at this location!)

Hazze says "Unbelievable poor customer service" about Sears Store - Tyler, TX

Hazze — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 20:44:31 GMT

I was in the Tyler Sears store today. There were only two registers open. 6 people waiting in line and 1 clerk. Other had two clerks and 5 in line. That was after I had been to several registers and no one working or willing to wait on me. I even ask for help and did not get it. I was ready to drop everything in the floor and leave but had come in for 1 item I needed. We have been credit card customers since the 1970's and made many large and small purchases thru the years including appliances, tools, large power tools, riding lawn mowers, furniture not counting clothes, shoes, household items, paint, tires etc.

We recently went to Arlington and found a stove and fridge @ Sears there that we were planning on purchasing before the end of the year but wanted to buy it in Tyler and keep our money at home. We will not be buying them now. I will find them some where else.

You would think with the economy like it is they would be falling over themselves to provide good customer...

iamdebhep says "I have been so impressed by everything they offer." about Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis

iamdebhep — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:13:30 GMT

Our son started his freshman year at IUPUI this August. He loves it. He was accepted into the engineering program. I've heard Purdue graduates say that they wish they would have attended IUPUI for their engineering program because the program is the very same that is implemented at Purdue but you get it for less money. The facilities at the school are great. The Natatorium offers unlimited swimming for $30.00 a semester.

The Student Center houses an excellent bookstore, conference rooms and the food court is really good, too. There is a Chic-Filet, a pizza place, a salad restaurant and more that I can't think of right now ... a wide variety. Most building are connected by covered walkways or underground tunnels. It's in the heart of downtown Indianapolis and an exciting place to be.

When our son graduates, he'll have a degree from Purdue without the cost if he were to go to West Lafayette to Purdue University. IUPUI has it own sports teams. They are the IUPUI Jaguars. ...

Every time I or my family goes in to the kmart we are greated with friendly hard working kmart employees, they work long hard hours just like we do,we the customers take them for granted when we shop there kmart has gotten a bad rap over the years. it is refreshing to see smiling helpful people who still know how to give good customer service.I have really enjoyed the ladies in the layaway one person who is always there and has a smile is the pretty lady her name i think id lynnette,she always is helpful and take you to the products or can tell you were to get one at if kmart doesnt have one she always ask about family and if we found everything,thank you for her and all the hard workers me and my family and friends will still keep coming for the great customer service...

angelofmine98661 says "The customer service at ******* is not what it should be." about Walmart Customer Service

angelofmine98661 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:25:23 GMT

We have had several problems with different associates at the ******* in Vancouver Washington on highway 99. They have not been very friendly several different times when I have gone in there to purchase items. They seem like they are to busy with stocking shelves or conversing with each other to help a customer. I have had to ask 3 different employees in the camera section a question before someone helped me. I Like to shop at a store where I don't feel like I am being a bother to someone working there. I also thought maybe it was just that ******* but no the one on mill plain in Vancouver has people working in the meat section who will stand around chit chatting instead of waiting on people who would like lunch meat cut. I like the prices but I am beginning to wonder if it is worth it.

Humza says "Unfriendly" about Kmart - Lombard, IL

Humza — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:52:36 GMT

First and Foremost, the store was DIRTY. I never seen a dirty store as this and second the Employees that I dealt with were very unfriendly, acted as if they wanted you to beg them to show certain things. From the Employees from the floor to the cashiers, just real nasty. I even spoke to a manager and nothing. it seemed that I was bothering them with the complaints. I stopped and returned everything I bought from KMART. This is by far the worst Kmart I ever seen and dealt with. They should shutdown that place and I feel bad for the older employees becuase from what I seen, they gave them more work then the younger ones, who were just walking around. I myself is not tht old, but seriuosly If I wa the general manager to KMART, I would make immediate changes to the personal.

Jimerz says "This store has lost it life." about Sears Essential - homer glen, IL

Jimerz — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:08:04 GMT

This store is sad. It's losted it life. I don't know corporate figure looks at this store and feel good about this store. It has the look of the old Community's or Zayre's store from the 70's The community needs a good store like like Sears or Kmart since the Lockport, Kmart is gone. My suggestions: fix the lighting! to dingy with to many burnt out bulbs. Brighten up the outside with a fresh coat of paint and good lighting. Not warehouse brown with again burnt out bulbs. Remodel your bathrooms They look and smell like a road side rest stop. Get rid of the clearance store look. I'm tired of see **** that doesn't sell in the front of the store. (It not a Sears look) What I want to see in front is new stuff you have to offer. Make a clearance section for the the stuff you want to get rid of. Bargain hunter will search it out. I also like essential items. to many time I would run it for something and you no longer carry it or don't have it in stock. I just hate to see another store in...

houdiniphile says "Very Good Advicve given" about Sears Outlet Store - Charlotte, NC

houdiniphile — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:11:40 GMT

Sears Outlet Store on South Boulevard In Charlotte, NC is well conveniently located, well staffed, and very inviting when you first walk in.

I got some great advice about replacing my washer and dryer, and am no longer looking for the rock bottom price, but for the best set I can get on my budget. These are trained professionals, who can explain what the specs mean on home appliances, and how that translates to your use at home.

There are a lot of kitchen gadgets and even a few things at the $1 price point, so ANY one shopping there can buy something. Sometimes a customer enjoys making an impulse purchase and you are helping the customer more than the store, to have something they can just grab.

Money was deducted Friday night for the egiftcard I bought for my grandchildren,,,no egift card as of Monday night,,you called and verified all my information today and said in 10 minutes,,,12 hours later no egiftcard,,,will never buy from sears again.

Everyone on facebook, and every other social network will hear about this!! twitters will love this to pass on

houdiniphile says "Longtime fave for clearance " about Kmart - Gastonia, NC

houdiniphile — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:08:05 GMT

Today I got to visit one of my favorite locations for the first time in about a year. Gastonia Big K has a selection of housewares, Singer sewing machines, breadmakers, Kenmore appliances, a huge electronics department, and more. The customer service is located immediately inside the front door. There is always a colorful table with something interesting to see, such as Sears card apps, local event flyers,

This is probably the best store in the area for seasonal merchandise,and for post seasonal, it's like they are giving the store away. We went about $100 over budget because of all the great fall clothes that were 50% off ALREADY reduced clearance price. Here is a picture of me and Lynn clowning around, with her in my costume, and me still looking for one. Brittany was my cashier and boy, was she patient with me when I overbought.

houdiniphile says "I want to move in!" about kmart store - Concord, NC

houdiniphile — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:14:20 GMT

The Concord Super KMart is open 24 hours a day. It is a great place to take a friend, have pizza at Little Ceasar's, and start your shopping engines.

I just loved working with Theresa, Purvi, Pharmacy, and a very large staff of dedicated employees. I found the prices seem a wee bit lower on things I normally buy, like American Fare Omperzaole (prilosec), Little Ones Formula, bacon, milk, and things thta I have purchased at Big K stores.

The $1 selection amazes me. There are always 10/$10 sales, meat at $1-2 a pound, fine produce such as globe grapes, and a reduced for quick sale standing cart with incrfedible deals, and the food is always the highest quality.

There is really no reason to wait for double coupon day, even though I will certainly go there for it. The everyday prices are insane. One of my friends kept asking what dollar store I found all these treasures at. That's when I pointed to my pin that the manager gave me, I LUV K.

tornadopat says "Eat the Lobster before it eats you" about Jameson Tavern - Freeport, ME

tornadopat — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:23:56 GMT

The Jameson Tavern Restaurant is nestled in the quiet town of Freeport, Maine right across the street from the anchor-store of LLBean. The restaurant is actually an old New England farmhouse which brags about being the birthplace of Maine and by golly it is!!. This is where the paperwork was signed which separated Maine from Massachusetts. So you can dine at a registered historical site. The food is quite scrumptious, but a tad pricey. However anywhere you go in the this locale is the same except for the few fast food places around. I liked the food so much that I ate there at least three times during my eight day stay along the coast of Maine. I had one of those yummy lobsters (see pic) before it grabbed my nose and toes with those claws. The restaurant has both a bar area (you can eat there too) and a quaint dining area. The servers are quite friendly and pleasant. Maine is mainly no smoking, but they do have an outside dining area for those who do smoke. Not many folks were......
