  1. This ad was a quiz question answer on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me this morning on NPR. I had forgotten all about it, but immediately remembered it when it was called out in the list of possible answers. Had to watch it a couple more times after 13+ years. It still makes me chuckle and admire the hell out of whoever pushed the limits with this ad:

    I also love that it's the first smart match if you type "kmart" in a YouTube search.

  3. Here's one for the caffeine connoisseurs who insist you need to re-mortgage the house for a decent espresso.
    Kmart's $79 espresso machine just topped a CHOICE blind taste test, outscoring a $4,349 Breville that costs 55 times more. The $4,349 machine scored 50%. The $79 one scored 75%. Turns out the coffee doesn't know what the machine cost. Who knew "premium" was mostly a vibe and a brochure?

  4. I have an almost irrational hatred of the new "AI" exit gates at the self-serve of supermarkets. Almost as much as I detest the self-checkouts themselves. But the #KMart near here has put them on the *entrance*.
    I will no longer enter.

    I used that format at Kmart for a non-photography project - I was restoring an old dial gauge, and was stuck on how to restore the face.
    Then I thought I could make an image and print it at Kmart. That would be far better than anything I could do by hand, or print at home.
    Worked really well, and like you said, amazingly cheap!

  7. PSA NZ - product recall - gel packs

    If you've bought any Anko Gel Paks at Kmart over the past SEVEN YEARS, return them for a full refund.

    They're filled with toxic ethylene glycol, rather than non-toxic glycerol. "If swallowed, the substance can cause irreversible injuries or death."

    This story about background music from the now lost KMart stores is the kind of content that keeps me on the Fediverse, Christine.
    Thank YOU for sharing.

  15. And day two of the bizarro-Kmart-prints from across the lands saga begins.. Let's see if Aramex's courier can make an actual appearance today.... Going to start billing them by the hour after 5pm today.

  16. The prints order I put in with my LOCAL Kmart here in #Adelaide back on Sunday 2nd Nov which they screwed up & instead printed over the other side of the country in Melbourne and for some bizarre reason gave to Aramex to courier here on a whirlwind tour of Australia,.. got an email this morning (11th Nov) saying it'll be delivered today.. Yup, you guessed it, waited all day long, currently 6pm, no-show...

    Idiotic corps making the simplest things as difficult as possible.

  17. 🚨 Ah, #Kmart, the retail tech pioneer, bravely tackling refund fraud by trying to turn into a discount version of Minority Report—until the Privacy Commissioner crashed the sale. 📸💰 Who knew that trading your face for a 5% discount could be considered "unlawful"? 🙄
