Kmart

Down there with Wal Mart; I avoid it but once an Administration or so might make an appearance. I’ll hit up a bad Target over a Kmart.

This place has THE worst of me going thru that whole store only 1 employee spoke to me or even helped me the rest stared and never once said a word to me HORRIBLE won’t be going back

Ugh, this place is the worst! I actually do not understand how a retail store can be so slow and inefficient! My husband and I always joke that this place is part of some big TV candid-​camera type show where they just see how long they can make people wait and film the reactions. We have literally never just gone into the store, bought something and left painlessly. Every time, a register breaks, the connection goes down, the employee is new and takes forever… seriously bizarre.
That being said, this is the only large store like this in Edgewater, so sometimes we end up going here for stuff, and the selection and prices are predictable.

SLOW as as a mug every visit. The never have enough registers open and the people working them are in to rush. I waited in line for 11 minutes and the clerk did not even get through one customer, finally girl from customer service called us over to check out. They should hire off of speed and intelligence and stop picking from bottom of barrel and open more than one lane

I have been shopping in this store for quite a while and are very, very disappointed. The only reason why I go back there is because no other store is around. If there would be competition in Edgewater I am convinced this store would run out of business. Most of the registers are broken, it is completely unorganized and poorly managed. Lines at cash registers seem to be endless, yet a so called «store manager» sits in the garden section and enjoys his bag of chips. Absolutely ridiculous! Next time you go there, please don’t let your frustration out on the cashiers, it is really not their fault, they are mostly high school or college students trying to make some money! Thanks!

Well… Where does one start with this mess of a store?
Store:
Dirty, Unorganized, Half the stuff is broken, no pricing labels, most things ALWAYS out of stock. Bathrooms are a total mess.
Management:
Next to non-​existent and incredibly unhelpful/​rude. Employees have complained about a discriminatory store manager especially towards younger employees.
Cashiers:
Registers brake down half the time, and most of the cashiers have no idea what they are doing. Some of them even talk on the phone while on register!!! They are almost always out of bags and if a cashier runs out of change you’ll have to wait for 20 minutes for a «manager» to come over and hand the cashier the change. They never schedule enough cashiers, so have fun waiting for 50 minutes (AT LEAST) to buy one item. Returns are a hassle.
In Store Pizza Place (Little Ceasers I believe):
Saw the employees touching the food with their bare hands. They don’t seem to wash them either when they walk off and do something in the back room. Half the time no one is there to actually help you, and you’d have to yell into the back room for someone to come out.
Pharmacy:
Unorganized and rude.

Typical kmart store. They have like 15 checkout lines but only have on average 2 – 3 open. Fastest way out is to walk to the garden section and there’s a hidden checkout spot there. Employees around the store are nice which explains the 2 stars. I have heard multiple times they are desperate for help but only pay minimum wage.

It’s K-​mart so not much is expected. but really? Half the items don’t have price labels on the shelves and I was given a trash bag at the checkout because they didn’t have their bags.

Worst cashiers I have ever seen. They are so SLOW! Went to get a patio set and they didn’t know if they had it in stock. Many of the items I purchased didn’t have bar codes on them. Very poorly run store.

Now I understand why Raymond Babbitt loved K-​mart so much! I’m not normally a K-​mart shopper, but found myself in Edgewater with about an hour to kill before a doctor’s appointment, and since it was across the street I thought I’d check it out. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the store is very clean, well lit, and had a nice selection of pretty much everything. I even managed to find a couple of t-​shirts to wear this summer for very reasonable prices. No, there’s no high fashion here, but if you’re looking for basic funcionality you’d do pretty well. The cashier was a little odd but friendly, and hey… we need a few oddballs every once in a while, don’t we? I doubt I’ll make any special trips this way to go to K-​mart, but it’s good to know they’re there should I find myself in the neighborhood again and need to pick up a few things.
