    Great value

  • +1

    Because it is the only few shop that open at 12am.

  • +2

    Because you can actually shop in person??? Online is good for something, but not everything.

  • +7

    Because Kmart cancels your online order too often.

    • Yes

    • Not as much as Target for my personal experience.

    • +1

      Tick the box that says you're happy for them to deliver items that are out of stock in store. I use this for things that are 'Low stock', to get free postage.

      Never missed out on an item.

  • +2

    Because some people are like lemnings

    • Yes, they all jumped off a cliff just inside the door.

  • That's the 24-hour Kmart at Mount Druitt!

      F to the staff of the 24hr Kmart in Mt Druitt

  • Kmart in Vic is still just as busy even in lockdown, you just have dozens of people lining up for click n collect instead of wandering aimlessly in the store

    Its free overnight accomodation.

    Why did they move the checkouts to the middle of the store which just congests to hell..
    Dumb of the Year.

    • It forces people to walk through more of the store and pickup more junk to buy

      • Once I've queued up for 45mins for my 1 pack of socks, I aint going back.

        • +1

          My wife and I have walked out of Kmart so many times because we only had 2-3 items and 40 people lined up.

      • +1

        After you've already paid so it's a dumb move from KMart.

        • Agree thats what I dont understand… I'm finished with you - Im not going back again..

          Dont think I've ever seen anyone go back for seconds.

      do you notice in some store they have this large round 'Pay Here' but the checkout is actually a little further not below it?

    i can understand going to the pub at midnight to celebrate freedom day.

    i can understand going to see your family and friends to celebrate freedom day.

    going to K-mart to buy that $29 kettle at midnight is ludicrous. what goes through these people's head is beyond fathomable.

    i'm even curious whether kmart checked the vaccination status of people entering the store and and checked ID to match while they are at it.

    • Likely it's someone who's been munchin on goey all night and suddenly NEEDS to vacume at 2am so they run to Kmart and buy one.

  • +5

    Because house prices are so high, Kmart pricing is all one can afford to fill it…

  • +1

    It's incredibly cheap and a lot of their stuff is reasonable quality.

    • reasonable quality

      • Ohh I still remember Anko

        " Regretfully we will be permanently closing our Anko stores including anko.com, effective immediately.

        We would like to thank all of you for your support since we began our PNW journey in 2018…"

  • +1

    Because covid has now disappeared

  • +2

    I suspect it all comes down to: "Any excuse to get out of the house", anything to help break the cabin-fever….

  • I just learnt today that one dose vaccinated is counted as unvaccinated - sigh, wait 2 more weeks.

      Enjoying government control?

      • Personally ok, like to be home most of the time anyway, but missus a bit restless.

        • But this is stopping her spending = good thing ;)

  • Keeping the economy strong. K-fart.

  • Cheap, long hours and easy returns, what’s not to love?

  • because that is all we can afford after paying our mortgage.

    • Nah. Too much extra cash after jobkeeper payments.

  • -1

    Because people are sheep 🤣

  • Because certain demographics love cheap, crappy crap.

  • Because Target closed so the lines have doubled at K-Mart.

  • Bc that black tracksuit for $4 is far better than $350

  • It's cheap entertainment. Buying things releases endomorphins, the Ozbargain community should be familiar with this. And there's no beach or much else deep in Kmart territory.

  • I hate kmart. Whatever the day, it has longer slower queues than target or anything else.
    We got "people" blocking aisles acting like trash
    it's mostly cheap low quality stuff, the barely more than reject shop rubbish.
