Don't you hate the run around? We are getting ready for our first Easter at SRC. We have printed up some fantastic invitations; hundreds of them are being handed out. We are planning to expand our service ministries like Parking and Children's Ministries. And therein lies the proverbial rub.
I saw these little tike's tables at Kmart about 2 months ago. I'd like to preface this story by saying that I don't shop Kmart very often, but on occasion I need something and it is the closest option. Be that as it may...I saw these tables and thought that they would be great for our kids at SRC. So I filed it in my mind and talked to the OT about it. We agreed to do it. So I went online and searched the tables, and walmart.com had quite a selection. So, I headed to Walmart (east) in Glen Burnie. No tables. So I drove to the Target next door. None there either. So I drove to Walmart (west) Glen Burnie. There were no tables there either. Nor were there any at the Target there either. So having wasted a couple hours running to these stores walking to the back to see the toy department (clever that they make parents walk through every other inventory just to satisfy their children's wanderlust for toys), trying to dodge old ladies who are moving slowly with shopping carts, and one guy who said, "I ain't never been in a traffic jam in 'da sto'." I drove to the place where this fantasy all started. Back to Kmart where right there, where I had seen them two months ago, there was an assortment of tables to fill the back of my (dad's) pick-up. It's only sheer agitation that keeps me from mentioning that Kmart is less than two miles from my house. UGGHH.

People forget that Sears bought Kmart out a couple years ago. That's why you can get Craftsman tools there too. Just think Sears and RoebucK(mart).
What's wrong w/K-Mart?
The local Kmart is dirty, and the service is horrible. I avoid it as much as possible.
