My K-Mart Page

Why a page about K-mart you ask? The answer is simple. I'm a cashier there so why not! Since May of 2002 K-mart has had the pleasure of having me as an employee. I started as a cashier up front in the check out lanes. For the past few months they have let me be the cashier in the electronics department. I like it so much better there! Hope you enjoy the lists of the good and bad about working at K-Mart. Keep in mind these are in no particular order.
