(...) It may have subtle effect, tho more so at K-Marts competitors than at K-Mart itself. Something I've noticed of recent is a habit of some WalMarts to spring a '50% off all clearance toys' sale. They do this at unpredictable times and then end (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) No change at all. Despite what management claims about engineering a turn-around, Kmart is in deep trouble. On the surface they have dirty, poorly stocked stores with employees who don't have a clue. I have yet to walk into a Kmart where I did (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Dan and I found a Mindstorms set opened and missing the RCX - we asked the manager for a discount, he said no, and said that it "happens all the time" (sets being opened and things being pulled/stolen out of them) - this was in MD somewhere a (...)

When I took it to the service desk at TRU and asked for a discount they looked at me like I was from Mars...I then took it back to its place on the shelf and (...)
