I loved the ending to this video! Because the Spirit stores around me have always been in an old Kmart building. Sadly though times are a changing and those old empty buildings are being torn down
I used to work in spirit Halloween, until I was sickened with the sexy little girl costumes, the sexy every female costume (unless you're over a size 8, then it's "medieval tent dress for you) and the inflated penis costume was WAY to much. the manager wanted it out on the street!!!!
My Toys R Us is now Big Lots. The old Big Lots moved to the Toys R Location and the Old Big Lots turned into. Vaccine center during the height of the pandemic.
@@ladyfarona1988 My family used to travel (Tahoe) to a ski resort and hubby used to stop at the gas station so I had to tell him (when he suggested I go there) women don't use those restrooms.
Literally almost choked laughing at that very last Kmart revival. Keep them coming, amazing writing and and the acting is so good you can't even call it acting because the characters are so real.
When I was a kid, our K-Mart had a legit cafeteria in it. You grabbed a tray and chose from sandwiches, soup, salad, sides, and desserts. Grammy used to take me there because it was a cheap way to feed and entertain me lol.
I'm 48. Our local K-Mart had a cafe in it (don't remember if it was cafeteria style or if they had wait staff) PLUS the snack bar up front with the the Icee's and popcorn. Our local mall had Woolworths that had a cafe. I'm pretty sure that the Walgreens in the mall had a cafe too!
"Oh, he'll make an excellent warehouse." So dang true. I can literally take you to an old Super Kmart right here in Jacksonville, FL that I remember shopping at as a kid and teenager that is now and Amazon distribution center. 🤣🤣🤣 I remember sitting in the K Cafe eating Little Caesers and drink Coke Icee's while my mom and grandma shopped. Good time, good times.
Lived in Westside for 10yr. We would hit K-mart for Little Caesars after spending all our money at Adventure Landing....fun times. Got too big and the crimes was getting bad so we packed up and moved south to the treasure coast area. Thanks for the memories.
Yep. Amazon Delivery Station DJX2. I spent the better part of the last year working there before getting my transfer to Gainesville. I was never in there when it was a Kmart but can tell you exactly where home décor used to be, due to the baked in smell of candle wax
Nobody could play these corporations better than Matt; and with that, I’m going to shop at my local hardware store, then my Farmer’s market, than my butcher, then a liquor store, then off to another local market, and finally a gas station from driving around so much.
Did you need a permit for that virtue signal? Or can anybody just toss one up? Dollar Tree has set many an empty table. And half the families in America would be malnourished with holes in their shoes without Walmart. Before you toss up that old saw about Walmart shutting down Mom. and Pop, I live in a small town. The pickings were slim and expensive.
"How are you still alive?" is basically what everyone said about the K-Mart in Ottumwa that survived all the way up until 2016 despite being a virtual shell of a store with only like 2 employees per shift for as long as anyone could remember
Same thing with the Super K in Clemmons, NC. The Little Ceasars employees got tired of trying to direct customers. It's now an Aldis grocery. 5 below, ulta Beauty and Ross Dress for Less. The former Garden Center is a new parking lot. Thank God not an Amazon warehouse!
@@HappyLife693 Oh It's always sad to see a store you grew up around close It's just a sad fact the North American arm of K-Mart hasn't been run well since the 90s and that's why it's nearly dead with only a handful of stores left

Many years ago we lived in a town that was so small that there was a bridal registry at the local hardware and feed store. Didn't even have a Dollar Tree or Big Lots -- We did have a store that sold odds and ends (which I suspected also doubled as the local dating service) --- Think it was called 'Find and Pick'........
Wait, not even big enough for a Dollar General? Does such a place exist? I’ve seen Dollar General stores on the side of the highway in the middle of nowhere!
This sounds so similar to my hometown! The local radio DJ was also the coroner, the vet owned the local car lot, and RadioShack and Cellular South were both inside Western Auto (I had no idea they were separate stores until I went to college). And the Tradewinds paper sold livestock and cars, and had the local 'meet-a-mate' ads.
Snort. The town I grew up in didn't even have a stop SIGN until I was in college. Literally there were less than 300 people. If you needed something from the hardware/feed store on Sunday you would call the man who owned it and he would come open up for you.
Poor K-Mart. I remember your glory days when every school-aged kid was embarrassed to admit they bought their clothes at you. I had the best pair of pinstriped jeans with zippers at bottom of the legs that I said came from “I don’t remember” when the preppy girls would ask where I got them.

@@oneminuteofmyday I used to wear Sears Toughskin jeans. You could drag a kid wearing Toughskins down a gravel road & 30 miles later, the kid would be in pieces but the jeans could be sold as new.
@@doughesson I had a pair of very 1970’s plaid ToughSkins. We’re talking harvest gold/orange/teal with teal patches (came that way) on the knees. I despised those jeans, but there was nothing that I could do to them to end the misery. They refused to die! I think they were hand-me-downs, so I had to wear them while growing into them and then back out of them. lol My mother bought a teal shirt for me to wear with them. She thought it was cute. The 1970’s were rough. lol 😂
@@oneminuteofmyday Tell me bout it. I was going to a private school for a couple years & wasn't allowed to wear jeans & t shirts like my friends could wear.
I thought K-mart was dead so I just went to their store locator and confirmed. K-mart is dead, in Georgia. They used to have stores everywhere but now there are none in Georgia. Still amazed there are stores in so many other states after all these years. They truly are the store that won't die.

Thank you, Matt. It's because of you I was able to find out that it takes me exactly 2:18 to make a bologna, cheese and tomato sandwich all while being thoroughly entertained!
@@janejones7638 Buc-ee’s is the Disneyland of gas stations here in Texas. You just got to go in person to understand the experience we get. I hate that they expanded Buc-ee’s to other states. It’s a Texas thing man.
@@janejones7638 Massive gas station, store and food place on every interstate in Texas. Expanding to other states. They have extremely clean bathrooms. When I get gas, I visit the restroom, even if I don't need to.
@@Threedog1963 I'm in Tampa FL. We're not getting a Buc-ee's for a long time. But they're building one in Ocala, FL. It's only a couple hours away. I suppose I could go on a field trip there. Back in the day, I used to rave about Publix (grocery store) when it was only in FL. Most of my college friends lived in different states. Slowly it's moving into their states and they agree with me.
@@MelB868 ...and that is why they are out of business ;) Just kidding. I loved kmart as well. While our parents would shop, the store would let us ride the scooters and Big Wheels in the store as long as we were careful and courteous to the other shoppers. That would never happen today because of...well, you know. I miss the 80's.
Oh, holy crap. THAT WAS BRILLIANT! Absolutely top notch! Thank you, Matt. You’re really going out of your way to keep us entertained until football season starts. I think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it!! 💜
Until a few months ago, we had Subway in our favorite WalMarts, and in at least one other nearby Walmart's. We have three main Walmart stores within easy driving distance, and three Marketplaces in the same area. Sure miss that Subway - and the Arvest bank that was also there. Made it a lot easier to get things done.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio Yes. It isn't that close, but there's a stand alone Subway about half-mile/mile from Walmart's. I tried it a few months ago, the outside ordering was a pain. Don't think I'll do it again. It was open while the one at Walmart was. Ironically, there still isn't anything at that space in Walmart.
I liked how Walgreens was called a pharmacy, yet they never fully fill your prescription order requiring you to constantly call them back asking where the hell your damned pills are. You'd think an actual pharmacy would be able to do that.
But that strategy worked well for Walmart and SuperTargets! Our KMart looked like a trash heap inside with NO organization. The cash registers took forever to ring you up and the wait in lines was extremely long as a result of those old registers. I was sorry to see Kmart die.
Okay, that's the best hilarious video that I have ever seen! Matt, you have done it again! Another awesome job on this funny video! I nearly wet my pants after laughing so hard!
I was waiting for Walgreens to show up. As someone who worked there it boggled me how we could sell cigarettes and dispense medications. Let me just say I hated Walgreens at least when it was a Rite Aid we had some respect from the higher ups. At least when I was at Walgreens got treated like less than human.
I went to Walgreens for Easter candy on sale. The cashier did look pretty miserable. I only go in for 50%-75% candy. My uncle is in a nursing home and he loves that type of candy.
I am friends with a former head pharmacist that worked at Rite-Aid. When Walgreens took over, the store manager became overall manager, including the pharmacy. That didn't work well and she ended up quitting and moving to a new pharmacy, making less money.
@@living2ndchildhood347 yeah. I would hear all the time. “What happened you all used to have no problems and now every once in a while I have an issue!” I’d always say sir/ma’am I apologize and unfortunately we no longer have an amazing computer system that won’t break down constantly or a help desk that is actually useful for issues. I could write a book on how bad the transition was and 2 years since we converted have been nothing but a hassle to say the least. Thank goodness for hospital pharmacy I’m a lot happier.
Walgreens used to be good. When they got bought by Boots it went downhill. Store Managers used to make a lot of money, but now they got rid of all those and hire cheap store managers with major benefit cuts. I was there for 12 years and it only kept getting worse.
Wait. This is a thing? It would certainly be much better than what I've currently been doing using the scan and go option only to hthen I only have to stand in line to be able to self check out with the QR Code lol
@@uhohmomo7685 Yes, it's a thing at the very end of your order. But be prepared to have about 1/2 the items that you ordered. Because they had them when you ordered but a shopper picked it up in between. But it's still better than 7-up instead of bottled water.
Hilarious! I remember going to Wal-Mart as a youth and loving it. Now I have to be dragged in. Had to go with friends recently and it made me think of, the opposite of Disney land. No body is smiling, especially the kids. The "characters" you see there, you want to avoid. At Disney, everything is made to look real even when it's fake. At Wal-Mart, even the real stuff looks fake. And no one is impressed by Wal-Mart animatronics (the practically mandatory self checkout).
I’ve had my credit card skimmed and checking account emptied twice from making the mistake of using Walmart self checkout- two different Walmarts in two different states. I don’t, won’t do self checkout there even if it means waiting in line for an hour for a human. Also don’t use self checkout anywhere for this same reason as well as, be aware that big corporations are trying to scam back their inventory “shrinkage” by trying to match item discrepancies back to customers by reviewing tapes and transactions at self checkout lines specifically and then filing police reports way later on customers for allegedly shoplifting possibly mis-scanned items. If YOU scan it, they can try to claim you took it; if THEY scan it for you, they can’t claim later you stole it. Also, self checkout kills cashiering jobs for people who need jobs without much experience needed. Insist on real live humans everywhere you can.
Yep... target is getting to be as bad as wall marts, my aunt works in the women's clothing department and she has some funny stories, one time she found a woman (not some perverted man) LICKING bras, she also found an elderly woman who was shitting on the floor... and a few weeks later she caught the same elderly woman shitting on a different part of the women's clothing department... my mom was a nurse for 27 years, one of the "regulars" at the "hospital" was bat shit crazy from meth, one time he decided to take a shit... IN THE ELEVATOR... it has a whole 3 floors and a 90 second ride from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor... he still "had to shit",.
The normal places to find people sleeping at Walmart is in the upper tiers of the toilet paper boxes and the far reaches of the gardening section. I worked at one for a while. Employees usually hid back in the inventory area, once again the toilet paper carton area was popular.
even here in Minnesota, Target's home turf, most Target stores only have one or two people at a time waiting on a drive up pickup, in my experience. except for the one in my hometown, which usually has closer to 20 cars at peak times and usually has 5 waiting at any given time, because apparently the convenience of not having to corral the kids out of the car for the Target run was worth it.
Incredibly accurate.. my town has a Wlamart, 2 dollar general's and a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree(literally both in the same building) that building use to be Save-A-Lot
Buc-ees is crazy, we were going home from a road trip, stopped at one in Alabama, and it was 12 AM. More noise and people than any supermarket I've been to combined. There were even kids there!
The fact that no one is bringing up spirit Halloween. Like every Halloween it just shows up and is still doing pretty good

Kmart is still a big thing in Australia.
Thank you, Matt. It's because of you I was able to find out that it takes me exactly 2:18 to make a bologna, cheese and tomato sandwich all while being thoroughly entertained!
Buc-ee's forever!!!!
I live in central FL, I had no idea what this was.
@@janejones7638 Buc-ee’s is the Disneyland of gas stations here in Texas. You just got to go in person to understand the experience we get. I hate that they expanded Buc-ee’s to other states. It’s a Texas thing man.
@@janejones7638 You don't need to visit the Alamo, but you do need to experience Buc-ee's.
@@janejones7638 Massive gas station, store and food place on every interstate in Texas. Expanding to other states. They have extremely clean bathrooms. When I get gas, I visit the restroom, even if I don't need to.
@@Threedog1963 I'm in Tampa FL. We're not getting a Buc-ee's for a long time. But they're building one in Ocala, FL. It's only a couple hours away. I suppose I could go on a field trip there. Back in the day, I used to rave about Publix (grocery store) when it was only in FL. Most of my college friends lived in different states. Slowly it's moving into their states and they agree with me.
Holy smokes Matt you had me rolling!🤣🤣🤣great job!!!!!!
The truth in this is astounding.
The end is true and priceless.
Keep being you brother...the world is a better place because of it.
Umm no I loved Kmart because I had a card that earned points and I could get stuff for free sometimes at Kmart and Sears if I had enough points
@@MelB868 ...and that is why they are out of business ;)
Just kidding. I loved kmart as well. While our parents would shop, the store would let us ride the scooters and Big Wheels in the store as long as we were careful and courteous to the other shoppers.
That would never happen today because of...well, you know.
I miss the 80's.
This man is a comedic genius!
This is fantastic!! The very last store to show up was genius! This is exactly how it all rolls. 🤣🤣👏👏
Oh, holy crap. THAT WAS BRILLIANT! Absolutely top notch! Thank you, Matt. You’re really going out of your way to keep us entertained until football season starts. I think I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate it!! 💜
This was hilarious! I miss the good old days when Kmart was around. 😪
Eating at the Kmart counter was pretty cool.
this is great
i now really need to know how many DGs will fit in a costco
In my area at least 10. But the DG is in the tiniest location for a store that I've ever seen. It's like they know that nobody'll go in there.
42.
I thought it was bucee's that said that... And it does have more restrooms than all of the others combined.
@@kristir1262 it was,i just want to how many DGs will fit in Costco
Spirit Halloween in the last half second was too true to life.
Oh the bathroom joke hits too close to home, also I hate how you need a quarter along with a dollar to buy something at dollar tree now.
LOL, that’s not The Dollar Stores fault.
@@janicesullivan8942 I know. Still hate it. It just feels different.
Don't forget tax!
They sell art 🎨 in Buc EEs rest rooms. Look at the price tags. Lol.... 🚽🚽🚽
It's called inflation. Also, why should Dollar tree be boxed in, when the other "Dollar" stores aren't?
I can see this actually happening
Until a few months ago, we had Subway in our favorite WalMarts, and in at least one other nearby Walmart's. We have three main Walmart stores within easy driving distance, and three Marketplaces in the same area. Sure miss that Subway - and the Arvest bank that was also there. Made it a lot easier to get things done.
Also have one Target, two Walgreens, at least five Dollar Generals, and two Dollar Trees. Haven't had a Kmart in years.
Subway isn't do very well across the USA. Lots of closures.
There's a Subway at Walmart, but also a Subway literally just up the road, like 3-5 buisnesses away.
@@jackalenterprisesofohio Yes. It isn't that close, but there's a stand alone Subway about half-mile/mile from Walmart's. I tried it a few months ago, the outside ordering was a pain. Don't think I'll do it again. It was open while the one at Walmart was.
Ironically, there still isn't anything at that space in Walmart.
I liked how Walgreens was called a pharmacy, yet they never fully fill your prescription order requiring you to constantly call them back asking where the hell your damned pills are. You'd think an actual pharmacy would be able to do that.
It is because corporate cut their hours down so much, that they are always under staffed.
Kmart’s fatal mistake was trying to become a grocery store. Over 1/2 the store converted to grocery aisles😞
But that strategy worked well for Walmart and SuperTargets! Our KMart looked like a trash heap inside with NO organization. The cash registers took forever to ring you up and the wait in lines was extremely long as a result of those old registers. I was sorry to see Kmart die.
I literally laughed at loud at this one. Fantastic! 😂
“They get lost for hours sniffing candles and looking at storage cubes.”
Why do I feel singled out?
Well done. Your effort brought forth a laugh. Keep working hard !
You absolutely nailed them all! Great work! :D
Matt- your stuff's awesome!
Okay, that's the best hilarious video that I have ever seen! Matt, you have done it again! Another awesome job on this funny video! I nearly wet my pants after laughing so hard!
Brilliant, Matt! Literal LOL at the end....used ta work K Marche'!
The whole skit is funny and spot on, but that ending was perfect!! Thanks, Matt, I needed this today!!
Matt, you are a genius! I just found out a dollar is no longer a dollar. Lol
Y'all are BRILLIANT!! The Big K coming back as SPIRIT.....perfect
Howling with laughter- each one was better than the last! 😂
Only would something like this be thought up by “It’s a Southern Thing!” Matt uou did it again!!
I swear, these are the highlight of my day whenever they come out! Matt, keep up the good work!
This Irish lass be loving your videos Matt. Keep em coming please sir.
Oh Matt! Thank you for sharing this video!
ROTF!!!! Love these videos!!!! They never fail to make me laugh my butt off!!!
. My favorite was Kmart and Amazon. The gassation was the next best fantasy iteration.
The Spirit Halloween ending though... 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for Walgreens to show up. As someone who worked there it boggled me how we could sell cigarettes and dispense medications. Let me just say I hated Walgreens at least when it was a Rite Aid we had some respect from the higher ups. At least when I was at Walgreens got treated like less than human.
We really miss our Rite-Aid Drug Store, it’s employees, it’s Pharmacy, AND it’s Pharmacists!!! Rite-Aid employed great people!!!!
I went to Walgreens for Easter candy on sale. The cashier did look pretty miserable. I only go in for 50%-75% candy. My uncle is in a nursing home and he loves that type of candy.
I am friends with a former head pharmacist that worked at Rite-Aid. When Walgreens took over, the store manager became overall manager, including the pharmacy. That didn't work well and she ended up quitting and moving to a new pharmacy, making less money.
@@living2ndchildhood347 yeah. I would hear all the time. “What happened you all used to have no problems and now every once in a while I have an issue!” I’d always say sir/ma’am I apologize and unfortunately we no longer have an amazing computer system that won’t break down constantly or a help desk that is actually useful for issues. I could write a book on how bad the transition was and 2 years since we converted have been nothing but a hassle to say the least. Thank goodness for hospital pharmacy I’m a lot happier.
Walgreens used to be good. When they got bought by Boots it went downhill. Store Managers used to make a lot of money, but now they got rid of all those and hire cheap store managers with major benefit cuts. I was there for 12 years and it only kept getting worse.
This is now officially my favorite sketch you have done!
I always mark no substitutions. Love your channel.
Wait. This is a thing? It would certainly be much better than what I've currently been doing using the scan and go option only to hthen I only have to stand in line to be able to self check out with the QR Code lol
If you mark no substitutions, then you'll get nothing if we don't have the item you wanted.
@@uhohmomo7685 Yes, it's a thing at the very end of your order. But be prepared to have about 1/2 the items that you ordered. Because they had them when you ordered but a shopper picked it up in between. But it's still better than 7-up instead of bottled water.
@@michaelcole2122
😆
@mallo well that's no good! Sometimes its ok to be a ken or a karen. Call and complain! Squeaky wheel and all that. 😇
Very clever! Bravo! 👏🏻
MM, your work is Awesome! I was born and raised in MI, and now live between VA and FL.... I get the jokes and they are GREAT! Keep up the good work...
Hilarious! I remember going to Wal-Mart as a youth and loving it. Now I have to be dragged in. Had to go with friends recently and it made me think of, the opposite of Disney land. No body is smiling, especially the kids. The "characters" you see there, you want to avoid. At Disney, everything is made to look real even when it's fake. At Wal-Mart, even the real stuff looks fake. And no one is impressed by Wal-Mart animatronics (the practically mandatory self checkout).
I’ve had my credit card skimmed and checking account emptied twice from making the mistake of using Walmart self checkout- two different Walmarts in two different states. I don’t, won’t do self checkout there even if it means waiting in line for an hour for a human. Also don’t use self checkout anywhere for this same reason as well as, be aware that big corporations are trying to scam back their inventory “shrinkage” by trying to match item discrepancies back to customers by reviewing tapes and transactions at self checkout lines specifically and then filing police reports way later on customers for allegedly shoplifting possibly mis-scanned items. If YOU scan it, they can try to claim you took it; if THEY scan it for you, they can’t claim later you stole it. Also, self checkout kills cashiering jobs for people who need jobs without much experience needed. Insist on real live humans everywhere you can.
Yep... target is getting to be as bad as wall marts, my aunt works in the women's clothing department and she has some funny stories, one time she found a woman (not some perverted man) LICKING bras, she also found an elderly woman who was shitting on the floor... and a few weeks later she caught the same elderly woman shitting on a different part of the women's clothing department... my mom was a nurse for 27 years, one of the "regulars" at the "hospital" was bat shit crazy from meth, one time he decided to take a shit... IN THE ELEVATOR... it has a whole 3 floors and a 90 second ride from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor... he still "had to shit",.
That was hilarious!!!!!
That's hilarious! And so true!🤣😂💜💜
Spirit Halloween just popping up is hilarious, your videos never cease to give me a good laugh!
This is great! 👍
It's hard to laugh some days but today Matt I did a spit take at the end of this video! Couldn't have been better! Keep it up n I'll keep watching
LMAO!!! THANK YOU, MATT! ONCE AGAIN, YOU'VE MADE ME LAUGH WITH INCREDIBLY ACCURATE DEPICTIONS! You're awesome, God bless you, brother!
Oh my gosh that is so true about Kmart.
Can you imagine, for a moment, through space and time, a Buc-ee's inside of a Walmart. You have now entered the Southern Zone. (Twilight Zone music 🎶)
This content was 💯 accurate!
The normal places to find people sleeping at Walmart is in the upper tiers of the toilet paper boxes and the far reaches of the gardening section. I worked at one for a while. Employees usually hid back in the inventory area, once again the toilet paper carton area was popular.
I loved this video especially the spirit Halloween bit at the end
I needed this today! Thank you, Matt! Dollar General is my spirit animal!💖💕
Everything you do is freaking hilarious! Thanks for the laughs bud!
I. Am. *Howling!!* 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I did not see that twist coming.
even here in Minnesota, Target's home turf, most Target stores only have one or two people at a time waiting on a drive up pickup, in my experience.
except for the one in my hometown, which usually has closer to 20 cars at peak times and usually has 5 waiting at any given time, because apparently the convenience of not having to corral the kids out of the car for the Target run was worth it.
I love his content so much!
The only thing that could make this better is if family dollar was in this.
Have Family Dollar and Dollar General have a tag-team cage match. Except no one would want to tag in for either side.
This is brilliant 👏🏼! I laughed do hard out loud at the end! I scared my husband AND the cat.
Hilarious and pretty accurate! 🤣🤣The KMart thought he was dead 🤣🤣🤣💜🖤💜🖤
There need to be a super A+ thumbs up button for this one Matt.
Great video!😂😂
Incredibly accurate.. my town has a Wlamart, 2 dollar general's and a Family Dollar/Dollar Tree(literally both in the same building) that building use to be Save-A-Lot
Bucees is bonkers! I love going to them when in TX. It's an experience. Speaking of, hilarious how Spirit showed up at the end. 🤣👍
Matt should totally come do some stand up in Mobile. I would be there in a heartbeat
When Walgreens started having TOY Exclusives at their stores, thats when they were accepted to the club. A pharmacy, has Hasbro Exclusives.
Buc-ees is crazy, we were going home from a road trip, stopped at one in Alabama, and it was 12 AM. More noise and people than any supermarket I've been to combined. There were even kids there!
Funniest thing about Buc-ee's is that they start their billboards like 150 miles in advance of the actual store.
