5. Went to one of the Kmarts that was are closing yesterday. They had prices

marked down 10-30% and they had every cash register operating for the first time in years.
Just wondering maybe if they would have kept more than one register open and had some
customer service the last several years maybe they wouldn't be closing. I don't know how many
times I have gone in the store to pick up one or two items and had to stand in line 5 or 10 minutes
at the one register to pay for it. Many times I have just put the item back on the shelf and walked out
empty handed. You get in line with 5 people in front of you and there is someone that has 25 items and
it never fails there is a price check and you wait and wait. I hate to use them it eliminates jobs but I notice
the stores where they have the self check kiosks you don't have those bottlenecks. I hate to see Kmart go
I always went there and only went to Walmart as a last resort. Then there is Walmart the customer
service is even worse there and somehow they are thriving.

And how come they didn't take into account the next eight years of Trumpian economic splendor BeyondGeography Jan 2017 #1
