Damn you KMART!  
It's that time to update my kitchen: glassware, bakeware, cookware, etc. So I'm starting small with the glassware. I'm quite picky when it comes to what I want to drink out of. I mean, I have a several wine and champagne glasses - they're fine. It's just I have "normal" drinking glass cups. I like them, but they're outdated and I'm just tired of looking at them... SOoOo plain. Since I do throw several get-togethers here and there, I want my guests to drink from something cute and classy.

So for two-months of searching, I found these cups at KMart (picture may not be from KMart because those idiots took it off their site!):



It was $6.00+ for a set of four. The husband thought they were a little too pricey for drinking cups because our guests have and may break them. So after going to all the 4-5 stores in town (haha), I decided I'll order them online.

Low and behold, I found the same cups on KMart.Com for $1.00 for a set of four, (yay!). They were "sold-out" for delivery. No biggy I thought, they'll do price matches... Or so I thought, because last month I bought a Dyson vaccum at Best Buy, $549.99 however the sales guy said, "Hey, it's only $500 online, I'll give you the better price." And I've bought from elsewhere, they were able to match the price because none were available online.

So I call the KMart.Com customer service and they tell me they DON'T DO price matches because they're different entities. WTF? I understand if the price online said, "Price Online Only" but no where did it mention that. As much as I tried to get that through her thick head, she said they have no way of matching the prices. Then she said something that lit my sparks, "I believe that's a discontinued item." I was so upset!!! I spent 2-months looking for cups and finally when I find the one I desired most, they're not able to give me the price I want and they're going to be discontinued!?

*Sighs* After wasting my entire evening yelling at KMart and looking elsewhere for similar cups, I gave up. Al said I can get my cups this weekend at KMart... But I'm still sooOOoO upset at KMart. Before I hung up on them, I yelled, "KMart's going down!"

I got home from work today, still bummed about about my cups. Al said he's thirsty... I went to get him some V8 Splash, opened the cupboards and there's my SQUARE BOTTOM CUPS!!! Al surprised me with them :) I got my cups, but I'm soOOo NOT EVER going to shop at KMart again!!!

Thank goodness my cups were NOT from Kmart.

Al got mine at Shopko. The Martha Stewart Collection is nice, but gosh do they jack up the prices just because it's Martha's stuff, *shakes head*

Gosh Kodak, you're so lucky that Al's in tune with your needs. Yes, cups are needs.

I haven't stepped foot into a Kmart for years!

Kmarts are limited. The one in town has only kept up because it's right across the street from the University. You DO NOT want to go to Kmart, I feel so sorry when I go there... It's nasty, I swear.

It's not worth your time. The only people who shop at KMart are the college students. Every time I go there I swear, it gets nastier and nastier... They NEVER fill their shelves but there's always boxes on the aisle as if they're about to pack everything and move out or something.

Re: cups?
I took it to the MAX because I so hate KMart... The cups situation just took it over the top!

Hehe, Al's a good guy :) I've got myself a keeper.

Hey that's what my cups look like (the short ones)! I would have paid $6 for it!!! Everything's kind of overpriced here in Australia so I paid $20 for a pack of 6. :(

But it's okay because I'm very happy with them. I got 24 and they look beautiful at the table when we have dinners. Plus they're thick enough so that we have yet to break one.

OMG, so pricey! :/

I dropped one of the cups last night and I thought it would just splatter all over... but no, it didn't even chip. I love the cups!
