Many people will complain about how big it is and how hard it is to get around. I love it. The big…read morespace is annoying to travel around but on days where your goal is to relax and just go with the flow. I went there for a movie with my oldest friends and came out laughing with drinks in hand. Big shops and places you can make bookings are put in massively convenient places. I will admit that the toilets need some work, they smell like sewerage, but what public bathroom doesnt.

I can't get enough of this place. I know it's a massive chain and they're all pretty much the same…read morebut I love that it's open 24 hours. The parking is 3 hour limit and plentiful and there's pretty much anything and everything you'd need! The store is huge and has great prices. Oh yah, and did I mention 24 hours?!!

Kmart is either hit or miss at times. If they have something on sale for really cheap, it is…read moreusually because of its dirty or weird-looking, something that no one would buy. But other times I find hidden gems there. For example, I bought a heat pack there, which was $10, and I expected it to heat badly and for the quality to be bad but it was surprisingly good. I have also purchased many makeup items from their brand OXX, which are honestly not great. The packaging is always dirty and the product itself has either no pigment or coverage. But it is cheap and can do a quick job. The garden area itself is quite nice, however in summer, the hot days, I realize that there are not many staff, if not any, and I usually have to go water the dying plants myself because they are not getting any care. They do have a wide range of beautiful plants though and I think it is one of the last Kmart stores in Victoria to have a garden. Something that is always a bit alarming is that there are a lot of broken items and items that have had their packaging wrecked, but Kmart is still a great place to go to for home decor. They have a large range of linen, candles, chairs, and home accessories which are always really nice looking, and decent quality too. Their home range basically has anything you need, from fake plants, cushions, cupboards. What is helpful is that they always have staff who know what they are doing and where something is, and if you do not know the price of something, they are quick to check how much the price is, and they are friendly and understanding of your needs. Although typically I have noticed that the lines are always super long, and you are waiting there for about 5 minutes at a time. What makes this even worse is that ¾ of the registers are self serve and only one team member to help. Everyone's had their fair share of experiences with those annoying robots, and with the limited staff there it becomes even more frustrating. But apart from all of this, I would rate Kmart at 3 out of 5, its just average.

Whether you're a customer or an employee, we are all complicit, but we can all do something about it. If we all stopped shopping at these pits of hell, they would close down tomorrow, so we cant just blame management or shareholders.

Hooray for Target! Glad to report I've reached a point in my life I can finally afford it. Do you…read moreknow what I'm not celebrating though? How cut off it is from Chadstone shopping centre at the moment. But that's ok, the newly refurbished shopping center is due to be unveiled in less than two weeks. Yes, it's all new renovated, fresh and looking fabulous. And happy dance for the clearance racks- nabbed myself a few winter jackets at least than half the retail cost in preparation for Scottish winter. Overall, I'm quite pleased. Target has been consistently good for as long as I can remember and this is certainly one of the nicer stores.

I love a place I can go into and wander, look at clothes, toys, and appliances and still come out of there spending only a little bit of money. This Kmart is at the Chadstone Shopping Centre and in the perfect location. It's easy to get into Chadstone, head straight there and get out, providing you're only going there during this trip. The staff at this Chadstone have always been helpful, although I do tend to dislike the self check outs. I always have a massive issue with them. I don't know if it's just me, but they always end up malfunctioning when I'm at them, mind you with a screaming child! The only benefit to that is that the staff in charge of helping out at the self check outs are quite friendly. Why don't I just use the regular check outs? See previous explanation of the screaming kid and then refer to the super long line with a real person cashier that has about 10 people in line waiting for service. If they could focus more on getting the people out in a timely manner instead of reducing the staff that are on, that would be great. I can't hold it against this Kmart though because I know that decision is made at a corporate level.

Just a heads up, everyone, there's an Ishka outlet store at the DFO in Cheltenham! Like any other…read moreIshka store, I always go in for the clothes and am surprised by how little of the store is given over to selling them. This is because it's actually a homewares, gift, and "look at my pretty things" store. I forget that. Lots of pretty things, lovely staff, and a huge selection of incense and scented oils. Probably better than in some city stores. The clothes selection is small, but unlike city stores it seems to be mostly dresses and tops made in different styles from the same fabric. Strange. For those of you who skip to the bottom of the review, I repeat: There is an Ishka Outlet Store! In Cheltenham!
