Kmart yesterday announced that it has begun offering a lifetime guarantee on plants, which it says is "designed to allow customers the opportunity to purchase select trees, shrubs and perennial plants with confidence that they will last a lifetime – literally! Kmart is the first national retailer to devote a lifetime guarantee on plants, perfect for those looking to keep a well-maintained yard for years to come."
The announcement goes on: "Qualifying plants at a Kmart lawn and garden center can be identified with a 'Plants for Life, Guaranteed' tag and will automatically come with a lifetime guarantee upon purchase of the plant. For novice or even the most seasoned gardeners, keeping a plant thriving can prove challenging, so if any eligible plant dies, simply return it to a local Kmart store, along with the original receipt, and Kmart will replace it for free."

This just feels like Kmart is willing to do almost anything to get people into the store. I will say that I alone would cost Kmart a ton of money ... because a plant does not exist that I'm not capable of killing. Whatever the opposite of a green thumb is, I have it ... and I'd be an utter nightmare for Kmart.
