LOL......that would be a funny TV show. Kinda like Candid Camera but just in Kmart
 
37. Dart around suspiciously while humming the theme from Mission: Impossible."

I have done that and it doesn't get as many stares as one would think.

Also when the loudspeaker comes on, fall on the floor and grab your head screaming the voices, can you hear the voices. hehe I did that on a dare and that gets people talking.

Another suggestion, hang out in the condom aisle and watch as high school boys look down the aisle see you there and then come back every few minutes to see if you have left. This works best if you are a female and are with a few friends.

Something I saw that looked fun, a few guys took bathrobes, put them on and pushed themselves around the store in grocery carts.

Spend some time at Walmart late at night and you will see some interesting things. I have too much time on my hands as you can probably tell.
 
Not fun things to do when working at Kmart:

1. Trying to help 6 customers at one time b/c the manager gets a bonus for hiring the least amount of workers to do the most amount of work.
2. Being given a list of 10 things to do that day while helping customers and taking in carts every 15 minutes.
3. Figuring out how to get a glass circular table down the loft stairs when the bottom of the box it is in is giving out.
4. The smell of the trash compacter on a hot summer day.
5. Having to shovel dirt into the trash compacter b/c the garden lady through all the old plants into a box that's bottom wasn't taped.
6. Why might someone return a box of condoms?
7. Trying to maneuver a 2,000 pound pallet of salt on the side of a slanted sidwalk.
8. Helping customers seperate Rubbermaid bins.
9. Working when you are sick.
10. Having people ask you if you know where items are that you never knew existed before.
11. Taking your lunch break at 5pm.
12. Having to dig for a box burried deep in dark, dusty, rat-infested corners of the loft.
13. Trying to find anything in the backroom since Kmart can't afford to put in new light bulbs.
14. Cleaning up spills.
15. Being solicited in the parking lot by the Marines.
16. Witnessing a robbery where the criminal leaves behind their baby.
17. Trying to find a rack or shelving in a stack of old racks and shelving are piled up on top of eachother in a small room that is dangerous and hidden from inspectors.
18. Trying to carry an object for a customer that is larger than your body.
19. Breathing in layers of dust that make your lungs hurt.
20. Getting an item for a customer that's on the top shelf while you are standing on an unstable ladder that sways as you move your body.
21. Getting treated like you are not another human being by both customers and management.
22. Being told that you can not be a part of or form a union.
23. Being considered a temp worker for 30 years and never getting benefits (i've seen it).
24. Restocking shelves that are already full.
25. Working at Kmart.
 
Oh yes, the joys of working in retail. :rolleyes:

It is also not fun to have people scream at you when you don't know where something is. Or scream at you because the store doesn't carry it.

Or picking up shoes after a child has gone through and thrown every pair off the shelves and separated the pairs leaving them in separate aisles.

Or how about this, having to help fellow staff members who were to lazy to get off their butts and do their work. And then getting blamed when it isn't done.

Folding clothes over and over again everytime someone messes them up and trying to find and tape up underwear packages parents have ripped apart.

And my favorite of all, dealing with screaming customers and their screaming kids who expect you to be happy after 8 hours on your feet and dealing with other crap. Sorry I am bitter.

I refuse to shop at where I used to work. I have horrid flashbacks. I don't destroy things when I go to other stores, I just do stupid things that don' t really affect the workers. I haven't done most of the things on that least since I know if someone had done them while I was working I would have screamed, loudly. I feel for all those in retail.
 
Let's just put it this way. I'm not completely upset about Kmart's recent financial problems.
 
lol. Well if the store I used to work at closed or the company went bankrupt, I would do a dance of joy and laugh evily. muhahahaha.
