Default I may be just a grumpy old man but


What about checking out at the cashier in the store using a credit
card. *I love it when the card reader asks if the sales price is ok or
not. * I often joke with the cashiers and ask, "does this mean it's
negotiable if I say no?".


KMart is horrible for this. *You get a whole list of questions before
you can sign for your purchase. *Last time I was there, the cashier,
apparently knowing how people hate this, just reached over the credit
card machine and randomly tapped his fingers on the screen, making it go
directly to the signature screen. *I'm sure the bean counters love this!


KMart requires zip code PLUS PIN number.....

Easy solution shop ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!!!

The local K Marts look like they have begun their going out of
business sale. Dumpy dirty stores, OUT of many items, few clerks.....
they deserve to close....

then we have JCPENNEY my once favorite store espically for clothes.
Ron Johnson their new CEO has destroyed everything that was good about
penneys

Pushed the gay agenda with gay couples on their catalog front pages,
although hiring ellen wasnt over the top the gay couples were,,,,

ron cut inventory levels, cut workers so my local store is a dump,
with inventory everywhere.... including the floor.. the mens fitting
room was piles of non wanted clothes. they dont have enough help to
run the store.......

ron is a total jerk he should of test marketed his crackpot idea in a
100 stores before rolling it out to the entire chain..... its cut
sales around 30%. macys and kohls must be thrilled their sales are up.

the remaing help are chained to registers, and many having had their
commisioned pay end are leaving for other jobs.

penneys too deserve to go out of business, it was profitable till ron
arrived.....

he made a public statement that sales are better they are only off
another 7%...
