Kmart

Was only one worker on black friday on the sales floor. She helped me find what she needed, I knew her from school and she has scoliosis and was very overworked. This place is a joke. Always understaffed. Good riddance kmart, Your worker Sarah which I recently found out was fired in December for a family emergency (same one who helped alone black friday) was the only thing keeping you guys in motion.

Oh my god avoid this store like the plague… It’s like the people from the hills all got kicked out of Walmart and decided to congregate here… Good grief

Yes, they have everything, but every time I have come the store is messy, unkempt, and looks rundown. I stopped in here today and walked around for a few, but ended up choosing to not purchase anything because the store smelled like vomit. It was so unpleasant that I left. I would much rather shop at Target, even though Kmart is far closer to my house.

They have almost everything you need here. Sometimes you will find some neat stuff. Yes the prices might be a tiny bit higher, but if you want to avoid the huge crowds of people that is Walmart then this is the place for you. Unfortunately, I feel like they need to upgrade their store. It looks outdated inside and out. Lost one star because most of the time their cashiers are very slow and lines don’t move at all. Overall, cool and peaceful place to shop.

I really hate to give this place even one star. It is seriously one of the most disgusting places I’ve ever been in. My 4 year old had to use the bathroom one time and most the toilets had feces or were clogged with a ton of toilet paper. The ground was all wet and trash everywhere. So gross.
The employees are extremely unhelpful and rude. They are also some of the slowest people ever! Checking out can take over a half hour even if there’s only two people in front of you with a small amount of items. They have absolutely no customer service skills at all. They don’t even make eye contact with you or say hello. If you need help finding something… Good luck! They definitely won’t help you or they’ll just kind of point you in the general direction and act all annoyed that you asked a question.
I’ve been here a few times because it’s close to where I live but I’ll never go again. The clothes are cheap and fall apart. The stuff is flimsy and not well made. Your better off paying a little more at Target than buying something cheaply made from this gross Kmart.

I love Kmart. They have a card that gets you cash off. Walmart doesnt have that. Their shoe department is best in town. Always get excellent and friendly service. The people who give Kmart 1 star are probably complaing crybabies and are never satisfied at any store.

Terrible store! They post signs claiming to be able to cash checks, yet they have never once had enough money available to cash a check of mine. Not even my $ 300 dollar checks! Its ridiculous and they should stop making such claims if they can’t follow through! I’m sure I’m not the only person who has been put out by them not keeping up with their end.

This place sucks. Even Beavis agrees.

It’s difficult to write a review for such a large store, I’m giving them one star because I recently bought two blankets that were $ 80.60 the guy that took my money was rude. He never got eye contact with me and never said a single word to me until he mumbled «80.60» there was no one else in line, they weren’t busy and I always am nice to store staff. The person with me asked what’s wrong. I said that guys a little douche bag. You know. I know they guy probably doesn’t like his job and I’m just some fat Fuck buying blankets but in a town full of people always complaining about «I can’t find a job» why would management put up with employees being rude to customers? The bottom line is I’ll drive across town to spend my money at Wal-​Mart because I’m not interested in being treated like crap. With that being said… yes I went back a few days ago I went to the electronics department and was helped by a very friendly woman on black Friday. Thank you!

I don’t often review on here, but I felt compelled by the completely terrible experience I had today at Chico Kmart. One of the employees actually jabbed me in the shoulder several times, then sarcastically asked «Do you need anything?» Complete with spoiled adolescent eye roll. I am pretty easy going, but this is the last straw in a long history of especially rude interactions with employees. Definitely worth the extra drive to go to Target!

Wow. I hate to give even a one star. Only went because I had a gift certificate and wanted to use in order to get out of my wallet. How I got it… IDK. Cant believe they’re still in business as no improvements can redeem them. Shoddy trashy feel. checkout über long… senior cashier very nice but shouldnt work the lunch hour shift when its busy as quickness was not his strong suit. Got a gazillion receipts… what a waste of paper businesses! And NO ONE likes them!!’
Glad I used up certificate so I dont have to go back. What do you call something worse than Walmart cheap trash?

I continue to be disappointed every time I walk in here… if it wasn’t the closest thing to me I wouldn’t even try…
Lightbulbs, something so simple, horrible selection and over priced… only packs of 3? I need 10! Not spending $ 60 when I can go to Walmart and get their house brand for $ 15.

You know, I don’t care so much that the store is run-​down and dated. It’s easy to find stuff and they have decent sales, especially on holiday goodies after said holiday.
It’s the employees that irk the shit out of me.
I’ve been in here about a dozen times over the past few years, and EVERY single time the employees had been rude as hell or unhelpful. I don’t think I’ve ever even gotten from a hello stocking the floor while out shopping. The checking out process is the most frustrating part, always. Someone else said that they only have one checkout ever open; yep that would be correct! Do they only open one register for the whole day? It doesn’t matter if their are eight other people in line with you (like last time I went). In fact, last time I went, a manager and several employees were in a group chatting (about things not remotely related to work mind you) about 10 yard from the lonely open check stand. Can I help you guys open a register to speed up my process of getting the hell out?
Oh a the rotten mood and attitudes of the employees does not just stay within the walls of the store. I work at a store where the Kmart employees frequent and boy oh boy, they are still rude as hell! Even new hires are mean as hell! I wonder if you have to act like an absolute asshole during the interview and be a chain smoker in order to be a Kmart employee.
Avoid this store if you want to stay in a good mood that day.

Disgusting excuse for a Kmart. They need to shut this store down. The place is filthy.

I stopped by for dishwasher detergent. I was in a pinch and just got the one item. They drafted my checking account twice. What a hassel to have to prove it just to get my $ 7 dollars back. I won’t be making emergency stops there again.

Compared to other big box stores here in Chico, Kmart is the worst. Compared to other Kmarts, Walmarts, and Targets across California, Chico Kmart is in the running for the worst.
I agree that the organization of the store is terrible. For instance plastic food storage is an aisle with laundry baskets and trash cans, not with other small kitchen products. It’s dumb.
The neatness of the store is also horrendous. Not in a trash-​and-​opened products way, but in the sense that it is hard to move through the main aisles because of poorly positioned displays. It looks haphazard and it’s hard to move through with a cart.
It is understaffed.
Skip it! Get your houseware shopping done between Target and Walmart. Or choose Colliers Hardware or Bed Bath and Beyond, or… Anywhere else.

I am disappointed in this KMART. I went there for Black Friday 2008 and wanted to buy a TV. Luckily, I was the first in line and behind me were about five people. Only five showed up. The manager came out and asked if we were there for the TV, and we all said yes. He said the store only had three in stock. So two people were going to be out of luck
Fast-​forward to 2011: I go in today to buy a hand blender thats advertised — the advertisement arrived in the mail today so you would assume they’d have it in stock. I get to the store and walk around the kitchen appliance department and not one employee asks if I need help finding something. I spent a long time circling the shelves. Finally, I ask an employee and she walks me over to the area, but they are — of course — out of stock.
So I basically went there for nothing.
Carol the cashier was the only one who made my trip to that store worth it by being super polite and cheerful.
Other than that, this store is awkwardly arranged, not very well stocked, and doesn’t have a «clean» feel to it.

It is K-​Mart.

Bevy M.‘s review. Hit the nail on the head.

First up, I admit that of all the big chain stores, K Mart is my least favorite. I try to avoid it at all costs, and can’t really think of any reason to go, unless you live in Manhattan and can’t get to Target in Brooklyn or Jersey, but need some of the household items that can only be found at such stores, in which case the K Mart on Astor Place at Lafayette isn’t too bad, but is still pretty awful.
Okay, back to the Chico K Mart. This seems to be the worst K Mart in the world. Inventory is scanty and was arranged by some idiot savant. You honestly cannot intuitively find anything you need. Anything. Take my word and just don’t go. They won’t have what you need, and the staff seem to be clinically depressed or schizoid.
Instead, drive five minutes more and go over to Target or Wal Mart, located over on 20^th, east of the Hwy 99 freeway.
