I know just what you mean LiasAlso! All the Kmart employees had those dumb name cards hanging low on their necks. Though I did notice that some had the name on Both sides. And then there was this one: Short girl at the Service Desk, Long cord on name tag. Tag below the desk! Sometimes you wonder if they notice you are trying to look at their waist! Does not make for good "eye contact"! LOL I also work for a company doing ad changes. I have a few Kmarts that I do. Glad I am not doing a MS shop. I have found them to be not my favorite place to do. The service desk person is usually okay but some of the managers are not! It takes me just a few minutes to place the ads & take my pictures but a Long time waiting on the Manager who is curt and suspicious, of what I don't know.
Yeah, Lowe's is easier than KMart also because you don't have to write a description of each employee like for KMart - just gender.
The fact that KMart is still paying for mystery shops is astounding, considering all the financial losses they've sustained. It would almost be like White Star Lines sending an evaluator to the 2nd class dining room on the Titanic. (Would'nt you love to read that one...."Could not obtain name of waiter, nametag was ripped off due to rising seawater....bread was soggy.")
The shopping company must have locked them in a sweetheart of a long term contract.

Of course, the service that I receive whenever I walk into a Kmart, which is now limited to those I am paid for being there to MS sort of explains the financial difficulty. I think they need to actually use the information that they gather.
I think the last time I was in a Kmart by choice was when I went to the world's largest Kmart, which may also be the world's busiest. It has a giant wall of Spam!! It was packed, but in a location that offered minimal competition.

We have 3 K Marts around - one is so so, one is ICK and the other really pleasant. I have to admit I do go there to get my daughter's disney princess shirts and such as they seem to be the only ones that have them at a decent price. And I refuse to go to Wal mart under any circumstances.
Glad to know of someone else who feels the same way about Walmart that I do

The day that I saw a pregnant cashier just about pass out and the supervisor who I complained to said "she needs to wait for her break to sit down" was the end of it for me. That and its a dirty nasty store run by a dirty nasty corporation who should pay their hard working employees a LIVING wage, not just a minimum wage!
You go girl! They are the leaders in lack of respect for their workers. Many, many members of that family are worth 20 plus billion yet their employees don't get basic benefits and can't afford basic necessities. I'll bet dimes to donuts Sam Walton is rolling over in his grave.

Its disgusting. My cousin in New Hampshire lives in the sticks up there and Wal Mart is the only real employer. He's been there for 14 years and is now making 12.00 an hour.
And God forbid if you ever mention "union" in a Wal Mart - I think the plane in Arkansas takes off moments afterwards to go that location. Ever see "The High Cost of Low Prices"? you can watch it in full on Hulu or Google, pretty scary stuff. Evidently the people that work for them in China literally have to pay to work for them.

At least your cousin is a man, if he were a woman it would probably still be minimum wage.

Thats absolutely correct. Wal Mart's idea of promoting women is having a women in charge of the ladies' dressing room.
I would be laughing out loud if it weren't so true. My mom's cousin had to take a 2nd job after her divorce and since she too is in a small town it's Walmart. But she's not just in charge of the dressing room, she has had to clean up unmentionable things in those dressing rooms and answers the phone and has even had to deal with loss prevention. She's about 5'4" and around 98 pounds soaking wet with rocks in her pocket! On top of all that she's been treated like crap and this is a woman who owned her own business for over 20 years.

On the positive side, if you're ever in need of a self esteem boost, walk around a rural Walmart. You can't help but feel better about yourself.
I was in Louisiana a few years back and after a Friday night on Bourbon Street did not have it in me for another night. So we wound up driving around and going to a Wal Mart in the bayou on a Saturday night.
And people think the whackos in New Orleans are on Bourbon Street. This was before that website started or I would have been taking pix left and right.

Shopping far East West Texas since 2005
I did merchandising work for K-Mart. I could never find the right person. Even as a regular customer, you seldom can get help on the sales floor. I waited 20 minutes at customer service before I got service.
I would never do a mystery shop at K-Mart unless it paid very well.
