I refuse to go into either Walmart or Kmart. Walmart because it’s far too crowded. When I go to a store, it’s to go directly (as in non-stop) to one or more specific sections, browse around, pick up a few things, then bolt for the cashier. Traffic jams in aisles make me ponder taking up terrorism. I MUCH prefer Target and I’m willing to pay more for it.
The last several times I went in a Kmart, many years ago, it looked like a clothing bomb had gone off – like a whirlwind of classless slobs looking for deals ransacked the place, and it’s so understaffed that they just didn’t bother to clean it up. I didn’t see anything about a sale going on. Who looks at a piece of merchandise and then drops it directly onto the floor? Not anyone I’d want to share a store with.
Sears for tools, always. Bought a little fridge for the man-cave there, too.
However, more and more, Amazon.com is getting my business, especially for big ticket items. When I was ready to buy a TV last year, not only was the price lower than Best Buy and Costco, there’s no sales tax and shipping is free.
Oh, and diapers.com. Shipping is ridiculously fast (as in 2 days to my door, consistently).
