Store's closing, grabbed old Nintendo sign

[kainemaxwell]

The Kmart I work at is closing soon, but grabbed this old plastic Nintendo sign from the electronics dept today!

Looks pretty sweet. I hope you have another job lined up or will soon, though. Shit's rough out here

Still surprised to hear Kmart mentioned as existing, but that's mostly because I'm in Canada and all Kmarts here closed about 15 years ago. Keep forgetting they still exist in the US.

Barely existing, Wal-Mart is heading down the path Kmart started 2 years ago. I should jump ship before it gets that bad

You really think Walmart is going to go down the road Kmart has so soon? They've basically killed small town america eating up the small family businesses turning themselves into local dependency shops. Kmart pulled through this long almost failing a few years back but got some extra time by merging with Sears.

It looks like RadioShack is next to go under. Really sad. 4,300 U.S. stores and 30,000 employees.

On the subject of Wal-Mart. I'll continue to patronage my local K Mart, RadioShack, and last but certainly not least COSTCO!!!

My wife and I even buy all our gas at Costco. GameStop will be joining Costco this year and will be closed on Thanksgiving. Costco said its employees "deserve the opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with their families." Hopefully Coscto's business model of high wages and excellent benefits will catch on as well.

Costco pays its hourly workers an average of $20.89

Go down that road so soon? They have been
The whole time. I've worked at Wal-Mart, mind you a company I hate, for 3 years and in that 3 years they have been scrambling to keep their growth going at the same rate or faster. At this point there's not going to be growth until they get some quality products and stop selling the crap people have to buy repeatedly that fueled their growth to begin with.

As far as radio shack is concerned, with this rise of the age of the "maker" with arduinos, raspberry pi's and basic stamps they will recover. They have already shown improvement but not enough to stave off store closures bit at the same time.... I don't think we need 3 in the town I live in. I only ever go to one each time and the second I go to is in the mall so it has longer hours if I miss the good one
