lisamag Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 A friend of mine started working at the K-Mart in Las Vegas and told me they do layaways. i didn't know that K-Mart did layaways. it'll be great if the one near me here in N.Y does, I'm going to find out about this. Does anyone know anything else about this?
codeblue Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 I know mine here in southeast MI do. As a matter of fact the sales flyer today said it would be the last week for $5 layaway. I guess after it will be a certain % of the total.

sigrist_2000 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 out of 1600 or so stores 300 dont do layaways..the one nearest me doesnt do layaway..but the one 30 minutes away from that one does...
bayhaysay Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 They shut our KMart down a few years ago and moved Hobby Lobby into the building.
f1rstclass Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 Both KMarts that are near me here in VA still do Layaways.
kimmie7097 Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 all of my kmarts have layaway,i went there this moring and stood back there foe 1/2 hr tring to get someone back there,went up front and complained ,that girl told me,that person was on break,so i told her she could put that buggy full of things back herself,so i went to another kmart,got service right away
lisamag Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 thats messed up! if they do layaways they should have someone working that station at all times, sometimes poeple are shopping on thier breaks and don't have time to wait for an employee to come back from a break to take care of a costomer. now that store lost your sale even though you went to a different k-mart. if a store do make enough money they close them down. so i would complain to management. it's the managers job to make sure those spots are covered or they should get someone else to ring you up.
fulfam Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 All 3 local kmarts here have layaway, If there is nobody at the counter to help you out you can ask at the service desk or somewhere else for them to call someone back there to help you, at least thats what they do in our store. The person who is working layaway is probably out stocking things or in the back arranging things while nobody is there to wait on.
Spotted1 Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 I always forget that we have a K-Mart. They do have layaway, but there's not always somebody back there. For that matter, there's not always somebody at the register, either.
kyraven Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 all of my kmarts have layaway,i went there this moring and stood back there foe 1/2 hr tring to get someone back there,went up front and complained ,that girl told me,that person was on break,so i told her she could put that buggy full of things back herself,so i went to another kmart,got service right awayI hear that.....The same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago when I put one in. I too had to wait 30 minutes but I was glad that the let me put some items in that had been clearanced. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about it after all though, because I noticed on my receipt that I was charged $5 for putting in the layaway. Then, as per the terms of their layaway, I came back in the store to pay 2 weeks later and the girl with "assistant manager" labeled on her name tag couldn't even get the register to work to take my payment and sent me up front to the registers, where only the service desk was open. And where I had to stand in line behind 6 other people. I said then that I'd never put another layaway in at K-mart, but now that Walmart is discontinuing theirs, I may have to bite that bullet and renig.....
Chunka Posted October 22, 2006 Posted October 22, 2006 KMart here in the Florida Keys does not, I suppose during Hurricane season it would be more of a risk to have layaway items in the building if a hurricane struck.
beckster321 Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Anyone know if Kmart does price matching?
Chunka Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Anyone know if Kmart does price matching?My Kmart does not. Not sure on others
kristablu28 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 My local kmart does. I, too, had the problem of no one back at the layaway area. I just dialed 411 on my cell and called up front at the service desk and asked if they could please send someone back. I've been in retail management for over 20 years, believe me...I've seem it all so I may as well be amongst the other crazy shoppers...LOL
blong2200 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I think the store in Morrow, Ga. has layaway.
