as a kmart employee, i'll tell you that they've just activated some PLCs going up...price list corrections, in lamens terms, they just raised prices. Not everything you see in the store is the lowest prices that it's been. IMO, it's silly for them to raise prices seeing as the liquidation centers are collecting all the money.
And to update, all kmart employees are being compensated for their time with the company and receiving a severance package in proportional to their time with the company. BUT...only the associates who remain with the company until the doors close will receive this.
Feel free to email me with any kmart questions. I'm not the underlying source of info, but i'll be happy to answer any questions.
