attitudechicka January 22, 2002 7:03 AM	53282 Well, K-Mart has filed for Chapter 11. I'm not working there anymore, and I'm beginning to worry about my friends who do. They're planning on closing many stores, one of which being the one that I used to work at. Just thought you'd like to know.

That's my stock standard gag regarding 24 hour K-marts. When I found out that a K-mart near us was 24 hour, I was genuinely puzzled. 24 chemists I can understand. 24 hour supermarkets, sure. 24 hour department store? Doesn't quite sit with me. Ever since, I have occasionally remarked that 24 hour K-marts exist in case there is an emergency that requires you to have plastric garden furniture at 3am...

"Damn, it's 2:30 in the morning, and I really feel like buying a Monopoly set..."

Stop thinking like a normal person.

Haven't you ever been on a depressive jag, wanted to buy yourself a present to cheer you up, and then looked at the clock and noticed that it was 11 pm and all the stores are closed?

Sometimes you NEED to be able to buy a plant or a parcheesi board in the middle of the night, especially when you live in Lincoln Fucking Nebraska and the stores close before you get out of work.

It sells (almost) everything you could imagine and is open 24 hours a day, 364 days a year. So when I need some motor oil and cherry pie filling at 3 in the morning, I'm never at a loss.

gabe_billings January 22, 2002 1:43 PM	Yeah, but K-Mart doesn't sell dildos or porn, so where the hell am I going to get those at one in the morning?

Jael January 22, 2002 2:41 PM	Gabe: 24 hour pr0nmart. We actually have those all over this city. I'd be afraid to actually pull into a parking lot of one of these joints...but they are there in case someone needs them on the way home from the club. lol

my_fawn_has_diarrhea January 22, 2002 11:45 PM	Well damn, where am I going to go to fill up on CO2 canisters and paintballs at 2 in the A.M. Those mailboxes ain't going to paint themselves!

fuzzyman January 23, 2002 4:29 AM	Out here in the Northeast, the two major regional low-price chains (Caldor and Bradless) closed their doors a few years ago. Caldor had it's own issues, but Bradlees definitely suffered after Wal-Mart came into the area. The only other comparable chains are Ames and K-Mart. Though I understand Target has us in their sights.

On a simaler note, most of the grocery stores around here are being eaten alive by Super Stop and Shop. We've lost a Walbaums, Shoprite gets little business anymore, there's a grocery store up in West Haven by Lowes that closed as well, and I don't recall any other big grocery stores around here(then again, the valley has everything tucked away behind a hill).
