Some of our Target stores are being turned into Kmarts and some Target stores are now stocking cheap Kmart clothing unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him I had lost my daughter, he immediately wanted to take me to the service desk to put a notice over the store pa. I thanked him but told him my daughter probably wouldn’t like that as she is 50. The look on his face was priceless. and yes I found her after I texted her. Lol It's not that I don't believe you but I do find it impossible to believe that a shop assistant came up to you in Kmart. In fact I didn't know that there WERE shop assistants in Kmart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days I just lose my car at the local Shopping Centres in Batemans Bay, You know, where did I park it lol. It's a regular scene at our golf club: people standing outside the main doors madly pressing their automatic car openers to see which car lights respond in the carpark.

Rare arxcards Posted January 26 #34 Share Posted January 26 K-Mart assistants do exist. It isn't like the old days when you had assistants in defined departments, and they are often kept busy restocking shelves. If you see someone moving boxes around or restocking shelves & racks, they are the multi-tasked retail assistant. Aside from the fitting rooms, K-Mart is largely geared as self-serve, but they do have assistants. Finding one when you really need one can be a challenge though.

I was being tongue-in-cheek when I said I was surprised that there were assistants in Kmart. In fact I did have need of one once. You go to the service counter at the back of the store and they will get someone for you. I still find it hard to believe that one would actually come up to you to provide help.

Standing and looking confused scratching your head doesn't work anymore, but we usually see them in circulation. Oh, the days of the real salesperson. The ones that could sell you all the stuff you didn't really need. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
