Kmart

I came here a bit when I was in my late teens maybe early 20s. for me Kmart was never really the hot spot but I’m sure I got a few decent deals here in the past.
I took a few years hiatus from this location. And then I saw signs for a store closing sale. I said why not, what would it hurt to take a peek and perhaps get the deal of the century. SIKE!!! Nothing to shout from the rooftops. Items (what’s left) is 10−25% off of the lowest marked price. So keep your phone or calculator handy if you need it. The thing is that because several items, particularly the food items, are priced higher that Walmart for instance, a 10% discount is nothing. You will still pay more or at least as much as you would pay at another store.
The vacuum cleaners were only 10% off, you can get that any day, at any sale. You might have better luck in the furniture section.
Sun protection is 25% off which is worth it, but the lines I simply did not want to deal with. So I left the sunblock behind. I better start my coupon searching.
Be sure to get the Save Your Way account/​card for discount and savings at Sears and other Kmart locations.

I like K-​mart. Wish some of their people could be just a bit more excited about being polite to customers. I guess customer service is just not in some peoples vocabulary. They had like ONE guy working the whole store one night. I think he was burned out.

I love this Kmart. I usually shop online using,
. I order my items online and after work I just go pick it up at the store. They usually have everything already in the bag for me. It says if it takes longer than 5 mins for them to have it ready they will give you points. I just took full advantage of their online promo. Buy 1 pair of shoes and get another pair for $ 1. I bought 8 pairs of shoes. Mm Hmm .I sure did!

How does Kmart survive… A relic from the past!
If you want better prices, Wal-​Mart has it.
If you want cleaner stores, Target has it. (And Wal-​mart too, talk about a low bar…)
If you want help finding something on an aisle in the store and are trying to find an employee for assistance? Nope. Not here.
If you want to shop for dry-​good groceries with no ability to purchase frozen or fresh items? Well, then this Kmart is your place! And hey, there’s no one else in here.
No aisles blocked with people, that is for sure! Well, minus the occasional «Kmart Kid» tossing a football down the aisle, or riding a bike through the toy section out of boredom + lack of supervision… (They stopped selling pogo-​sticks. Must have gotten sued!!!)
Kmart merged with Sears years ago in order to survive, but that is like 2 runaway trains headed downhill instead of just one. How much longer can K-​mart hang on? That is the question! I can’t believe folks bypass every other place so they can come in for the «Kmart» experience. Let it go, people… Let it go…

Why, oh why??? I do not like k-​mart, really any k-mart…but sometimes I will hop over to this k-​mart if I need a really weird array of stuff that cannot be accommodated by the grocery store or the drug store… for instance power steering fluid, vicks vaporub, coffee, and freezer packs for the cooler. Maybe Target is too crowded, and generally too distracting, Walmart is far away and I don’t love walmart either and try to avoid it if possible.
Well, I have been here two times in the past six months. Both times left vowing never to return. (clearly i broke this promise the first time, but it wont happen again.) First of all, they no longer have any refrigerated items at all. This K-​mart used to have basically a small grocery store and you could grab some orange juice, half and half, or a lime or lemon or something, hence avoiding a trip to the grocery store if what you really need is power steering fluid. This section has been completely «redone» and everything except for dry good groceries is now gone. So that is a strike against it… I mean you can buy a lime or banana at 7 – 11, but there is nothing fresh available anywhere here.
Secondly, the place is a disaster. Except for the very front portion which is used for seasonal displays, which is actually not bad– it’s a mess. Everything is crowded, general poor selection, there are entire shelves of items that contain no prices displayed anywhere. Electronics is a joke, they have pretty much nothing and what they do have is wayyy overpriced. I feel like if you are shopping in this crappy environment, you should at least get a deal… The toy/​sporting goods selection is somewhat better (and I mean better compared to electronics, not better compared to normal stores) …but again, they have entire sections of shelving with no prices listed anywhere. Or prices listed for items that are not items on the shelf, or empty shelves, problems abound… moving on…
There are a bunch of crazy people in here, and by crazy people I mean fellow customers. This is not a judgement, but a cold-​hard fact. For instance, one lovely woman who may have just been released from prison or a methadone clinic, had a question about a particular item, I believe it may have been a board game. When there was not an employee available to meet her request she began stomping all over the children’s section screaming repeatedly «WORKERS AT KMART!!! I HAVE A QUESTION! WORKERS OF KMART I NEED HELP!!» Clearly. Meanwhile, I am disturbed by her increasing aggression and have decided to hide amongst a display of book-​bags. So here I am in a Kmart, hiding in book-​bags from some crazy fruit-​bat who has a question about Monopoly Beaking Bad edition (no lady, it doesn’t come with actual crystal meth) It was a low point for me, I’m going to honest. Also that may not have been the actual item.
There was another man who seemed to have acquired his very own group of Children of the Corn. They were acting generally demonic and would appear randomly throughout the store completely unsupervised. Of course there is the obligatory «saggy-​diaper baby» who never wears pants or footwear despite the weather. «Saggy-​diaper Baby» can be found in many locations throughout Virginia beach; check cashing places, Motorworld, and always in Kmart.
Finally, …we have check out. To say that this is a terrible process would be an understatement. It is not usually crowded in here, which is why they seem to only have two lanes opened EVER, but they never seem able to accommodate their customers. The belts are often broken or do not move at all. The cashiers are friendly enough, but if there is ever any problem, they have to call a manager or someone which usually takes around 15 minutes. That is not an exaggeration. Some of the check-​out lanes are very narrow and you can barely even push your cart through without it hitting the sides of the aisles. Since so many items do not seem to have price-​tags, or are misplaced, or strewn about the store, there are often haggles at checkout over the price. This takes an additional 10 minutes and also requires someone to come over and mediate. Ridiculous.

This location offers a 10% military discount on everything in the store on Tuesdays!

Just to let you fellow Unilocaler’s know it was hard to find things in this particular store as they are in the process of remodeling the store an layout. You still manage to find some good deals

The cleanest Kmart you’ll find anywhere.

I cant believe this place is still in business.

One of the smaller supercenters around. It isn’t very busy, but they do cram everything the normally sell at other places in a smaller space so you’ll have to squeeze!
