An Australian man has launched a tongue-in-cheek ‘rant’ at Kmart on social media, sharing his frustration around his fiancee buying too many of their products.

Alex Gadd from Hobart, Tasmania, took to Kmart’s page this week as he said that the lower price point of their products is putting a strain on his relationship.

“Hey Kmart, I am a disgruntled fiancé …. I am sick of coming home at least once a week to a new candle holder, frame, pot or pot stand. Along with several other nice yet highly unnecessary items,” Alex wrote.  “I need to know how many more designs can possibly be released? A man can only take so much and I am at my limit …. (She even suggested putting a light shade in MY garage).”

Alex continued in his tongue-in-cheek tone that he was sure that Kmart’s executives as well as divorce lawyers would be benefitting from the multiple product lines available.

“I am sure the CEO’s [sic] are rubbing their hands together along with all the divorce lawyers who would be getting a huge amount of business ever since you guys had a drastic change in the direction and target of your product line,’ Alex wrote.

Finishing his post, Alex said he was not expecting a response from the company, but he wanted to share with them how their cheap products were putting a strain on his relationship.

“I guess I’m not expecting a response nor an answer…. As I understand my relationship issues are not of your concern . Simply a rant that goes unheard here at home . Your products are too appealing and too cheap for her to resist and as a result it’s putting immense strain on my life . Thanks for listening,’ Alex concluded.

Kmart responded to Alex’s post, a couple of hours later in an equally tongue-in-cheek tone, advising him to invest in a blindfold.

“Hi Alex, we’re so sorry to hear that our highly appealing homewares and everyday low prices are driving a wedge between you and your fiancee,” Kmart wrote. “Installing one of our stunning lamps in your garage does seem potentially relationship-ending, and we’re pleased to hear it hasn’t yet come to this,” the company said.  

“Unfortunately, we do have new products coming out all the time and the likelihood of them arriving in your home seems high – it may be worth investing in some kind of blindfold before this happens. – Anna.”

The funny rant and Kmart’s clever reply, quickly became viral, with more than 16,000 people liking Alex’s thoughts and over 8,500 comments left on the Facebook post.

Kmart was praised for its response, with many fans glad they understood the tongue-in-cheek tone of Alex’s post.

Joely Endacott commented ‘Great response Kmart!’ whilst fan Kallie Ryan said ‘The sass level is high! Love you Kmart.’
