I don't normally if ever shop at Kmart, but geez, I hate lawyers and our legal system.

Get ready to pay more at Kmart for those of you that shop there.... Guess who will get the final bill for this one..

they shut all of them down in Montgomery AL when we were stuck in that Chit hole!

but from what i remeber of driving threw the parking lot there they had tons of handi caped stalls. not that they were ever used much but they were there.

i never liked thier stores they were hig priced junk most of the time so i never went back to them LOL
