At my northeast Kmart, we got our first truck this month last Thursday. It was offloaded into the backroom and pallets have sat there since. I took a walk through the half high and some full pallets and spotted live plants, outdoor plants that should have been received there weeks ago... pallet labels are dated 3/27 on six shelved pallets with what appears to be a full season of trees and shrubs. All are wrapped in plastic, including the tops..... well... what do you think these plants look like after almost a month in the dark and not being watered?? Dead, dying, and dried up. Another associate asked the sm about where the plants should go and he said corporate wants them put out for sale, then we can throw out anything that's dead. Yes, by all means make our store look better with dead nursery plants for the garden shop. It's bad enough we don't water them anyway and they all die... but we are receiving them dead now.

why are they sitting in the stockroom? Why is it full of freight? If you haven't received a truck in over a month wtf have you been doing ?? Your SM should be fired!! Along with all the idiots he/she chose to employ!
Regional Lawn and Garden Buyer must be furious... oh wait, this is Kmart so we know he doesn't give a rat's a$$.
