For household items, I usually shop at Target. Out of the three main places for this kind of shopping (Target, Wal-Mart & K-mart), I consider Target to be the more pleasant experience. Wal-Mart isn't bad, but there are no conveniently located ones in Miami. Of course at the bottom of the list is K-mart. I pretty much detest that place. I am completely convinced that the Miami stores actually go out of their way to hire employees that don't care, like messes, move slower than turtles, like to argue, and basically try to make the shopping experience a pain. As you would guess, I avoid them. I probably go once a year when I am looking for a particular item that I didn't find anywhere else (like a certain colored towel from their Martha Stewart collection).
Yesterday for some reason, I decided I should go there during my lunch break. There is one near my office. (Sorry, this isnt one of those posts where I have a witty story about how bad it was.) Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. They must have changed their recruiting strategy. The employees were actually helpful. I also stopped in their baby section to buy diapers & stuff and noticed that they had cute clothes. Yes, I buy cheap clothes for Lexi to wear to daycare. They come back messed up anyway and she gets nice ones for the weekend.
I guess my point is that next time I think about going to the old K-mart, I will not be dreading it. It didn't work its way to the top of the list though.
