Shoppers' Quirky Kmart Discovery: A Hilarious Review System
A Shopper's Hilarious Find: Kmart's Unconventional Review System
A Melbourne shopper, Josh, stumbled upon a unique and amusing discovery while browsing the candle section at Kmart's Chadstone store. Instead of the usual product descriptions, he found a creative and unconventional review system attached to various candles. Yellow Post-It Notes, filled with witty and honest feedback, were left by previous customers, adding a touch of humor to the shopping experience.
The Notes: A Hilarious Insight
The first note Josh spotted was attached to a melon-scented candle, with a critical review reading, 'too artificial. Not worth $2.' Another note, labeled 'happiness,' had a more brutal review, 'not very happy,' accompanied by a sad face and a one-star rating. The last note, attached to a Darrell Lea-branded licorice allsorts-inspired candle, read, 'It smells like licorice, but it's low-key gross,' with a two-out-of-five-star rating.
A Unique Review System
While the notes are not reflective of the overall customer experience, they quickly became a hit on social media. One user joked, 'Like 'staff picks' at the bookstore, except for candles.' Another noted, 'Real-life reviews, I like it.' A third asked, 'The question is who carries a pen and paper these days?'
A Hilarious Find, A Helpful Idea
The idea was genius, and many users expressed that it could be of use to the shopping experience. One user encouraged, 'I really appreciate that for real cause sometimes Kmart candles are hit or miss.' Another said, 'This is so good because the amount of times I say 'oh, look how pretty' and it will suck me in with something wild like Vanilla Cookie Crumble Doughnut Fudge cake pop, and then it smells like straight up gas and foot odor.'
Kmart's Response
While Kmart declined to comment, it is understood that the retailer appreciates all customer feedback and encourages shoppers to offer it through official channels. Despite the rough crowd in the candle section, customers are loving the department store's new February Living range, with many praising the trendy additions to the home.
The Viral Sofa: A Positive Review
One of the standout pieces in the recent launch is the viral compressed sofa, which comes packed away in a box and inflates into a three-seater lounge of luxury. The comments are overwhelmingly positive, with one happy customer posting, 'In love! Such a great size and color.' Another questions, 'Have I been influenced?' A third writes, 'OMG I want one!'
