So I'm at Kmart right now

and I found this darkened corner in the clothes isle. I brought all the packs of cards I could fit in my carriage over to that corner and proceeded to open them. Got a couple jersey cards and autos.

My question is, should I have to pay for all the packs I opened or just the ones that had stuff I wanted in them?

You should seek medical attention, because I haven't seen a K-Mart that sells trading cards in years. You're hallucinating! Maybe it's heat stroke. Get some fluids!

I havent seen a Kmart period in years

Was there a blue light special?

I know zep is kidding, but we still have 2 Kmarts here and they are a great source for retail boxes. Occassionally you will even find a Bowman or Topps box from a few years ago.

The K-Mart here is some sort of time warp. The parking lot is ten times bigger than it needs to be for such a comparatively tiny store, and the inside is always cluttered: toys strewn about, stock not put on shelves, etc.

I've been in a few times and they've never had trading cards. They do, however, sell Nathan's hot dogs in their tiny lunch counter area, which is what pulls me in.

I don't know how they stay in business with a Meijer SuperCenter, a Target, and a Sam's Club all less than a mile away.

Talk to the credit manager. It may be they will give you three months to pay, and six if you don't.

Theres still 2 Kmarts in Shreveport? Only one I know of is in Bossier by the mall. I know there used to be one on Mansfield and on W. 70th st.

lsutigers1973 · August 9, 2008 3:57AM

I stand corected. The "supercenter" in Bossier is the only one left. The other one finally closed.

We still have one down here in St Petersburg.

When you drive by, you can actually see tumbleweeds blowing around in the parking lot.

Ours has the same oversized parking lot Walmart has. Parking lot has room for 5000 cars and 2 people inside, counting employees.

Leiascards · August 9, 2008 4:13AM

Ours actually stays fairly busy.

With the hits you usually have you might as well just prepay before opening, you'll get your $$ back + when you sell!

There is a K-Mart about 5 miles from my house, and it is always busy.

Edut- And it still has a small aisle for cards and supplies. A bunch of those 9.99 box specials with like 10 packs of garbage in them too.

lsutigers1973 · August 9, 2008 4:32AM

perkdog, I like how you edited the message but still spelled "edit" wrong.

MeteoriteGuy · August 9, 2008 4:33AM

Pick me up a few unsearched searched packs please.

perkdog · August 9, 2008 4:36AM

<< <i>perkdog, I like how you edited the message but still spelled "edit" wrong. >>

I didnt edit it for spelling! But Im glad you liked it just the same

lsutigers1973 · August 9, 2008 4:36AM

and say hi to the two twins for me too

perkdog · August 9, 2008 4:38AM

They say hello right back atcha!

bdunndchi · August 9, 2008 5:30AM

We still have a k-mart, but it's by far the crappiest store in town.

BunchOBull · August 9, 2008 7:33AM

I'm guessing you caught someone stealing by this tactic?

So I'm at Kmart right now
