There once was a K-Mart Store here in this city. Now it is gone. Why?

I believe that it was the management.

The manager of the store decided to save K-Mart thousands of dollars by only employing a few cashiers.

Everytime I went to K-Mart, I had to stand in line for at least five minutes.

One time while I was waiting in line, I viewed a cashier putting her cash drawer into the register.

I walked over there expecting her to be open for business in a few moments.

When she saw me standing there, she said, "Sir, I will not be open for a while. Go along and stand in line with the others."

After the K-Mart closed, the local newspaper submitted a story about the event.

Reporter says to unemployed K-Mart woman , "Why do you think K-Mart closed it's doors?"

Woman replies, "It the was the attitude of the customers. They didn't appreciate us."

If I walked into any of my establishments and was treated the way Tony Clifton was, then I would immediately say to the employee, "YOU'RE FIRED!"

That is what always amazes me at Wal-mart. There are like 40 cash registers in the front and maybe two are open.
 
Even though all money is flowing upward into the hands of a few faster than a speeding bullet, it's not happening fast enough for corporate retailers. They are trying to make more money with less employees while paying as little as possible. Consumers will suffer long before stock holders.

People unless they work in one are generally unaware of the things that the big retail corps have been doing. Cutting out all fulltime employees, everyone works 20 to 30 hours per week, in this state now 30 is considered full time. Paying as little as possible, minimum wage and in some cases less even though its not legal in this state.

So many people just to keep their heads above water have to work two jobs, or have two or three earners in the household.

Of course I am talking of the "peasants" as Wal-Mart calls them, not the overpaid administrators and executives.
 
Y'all do know that K-mart was bought by Sears? The K-mart trade mark is slowly disappearing as Sears closed those stores that are no longer profitable. Others, those that still show a profit are re-labeled as Sears standalone stores.

A lot of people who post here have book smarts but no real life experience. Others have neither but that doesn't stop them from posting.

You, know of what you post, at least on this topic.
 
It's common for other supermarkets?

We are lucky since labors are not so expensive here in China.

Many of the people who post here are not interested in the working poor. They don't want to know it exists and they don't want to be touched by it so they don't risk being moved to help.

For your information, my name is not Tony Clifton, it is Steve Buscemi.
 
I think that Martha Stewart may have something to do with it.

Every time I went into to K-Mart, I looked around and saw pictures of a convicted felon.

Blue Light Specials required hauling a lot of fat-asses across a store, sometimes up to ten aisles.

Internet shopping supports fat-ass growth and comfort without all the movement.
