Big Lots

This was 2 days after Christmas, at around 8:45 pm. After finding $ 100.00 worth of merchandise I went up to the counter. The cashier rings everything up, I pay. He leaves everything on the counter and I ask «Can I have a bag ?» He says «the bags are in the back and when the night shift gets here they will re-​stock the bags. Right now, we don’t have any.»
So I said, «Don’t you have ANY bags at all, even recycling bags ?» «No», he says. I was REALLY mad but I didn’t say anything because I did not want to make a scene. When I get really mad, it’s not pretty. But, I am amazed he thought it was ok to not have any kind of bag for a customer. Heck, even a Xmas present bag would have been ok !! I chalk it up to how these youngsters are being raised without any manners or common decency. It’s the parents who don’t teach them any manners. Anyway, here you go Sonny boy !! How you like me now?

Sherry the store manager is the rudest most unprofessional person I have ever met. Not to mention the staff can’t figure out how to answer the phone like they are actually at work. Seriously this kid acted like I called his personal phone and I had to ask if I was calling the store.

big lots has everything you need. and there cheep cheep cheep… YOU SHOULD GO THERE.

If one store doesn’t have the merchandise you wanted, please ask the sales representative to call the next closest store: A male sales representative called the San Pablo Dam Big Lots for me because the Hercules Store sold out of the outdoor potting table. I was very happy the sales representative called the other Big Lots Store because I really needed the outdoor potting table for my backyard patio for repotting, transferring my fruit and vegetable plants to new containers!

20 people in line and one cashier. I won’t come here again. They want to make money by having customers wait in ridiculously long ass lines. You can make money off of some other sucker. You can’t value my time when you have five employees and could of opened another cash register then fuck you I will shop somewhe else.

Overall the store was very clean and organized. The furniture department was well attended. The sales rep was very courteous and helpful. This store gets my two thumbs up!

For being the closet big lots to my house, this one always seems to be clean and more organized than other big lots stores I’ve been to.
Every time I shop here things are pretty easy to find.
The staff is always friendly and helpful when called upon.
This a dangerous place — always something to by that’s cheap

While this store is not on my frequent shopping list it is handy for odds and ends, like batteries.
I guess that canned and packaged foods do not turn over quickly; I found an expired package still on the shelf.

Best place to go if you’re looking for cheap, but still good enough quality things.
My cousins and I played white elephant with a $ 25 minimum last Christmas. Went here, and I put together a survival kit with water, blankets, rubbing alcohol and band aids, cereal (non-​perishable), a flashlight, extra batteries, a pack of toilet paper and all that good stuff for under $ 30.
They also added refrigerators for their grocery section!
CONS: lines get pretty long and they’ll probably open two registers.

On the hunt for materials for a (potential disaster) DIY Mother’s Day present: porcelain mugs, Sharpie’s, rubbing alcohol, paper bags, cards. Everything I needed I found, with ease, and for a ridiculously low price. Success!
The (expected) downsides: not enough cashiers, long lines.

They revamped the bathroom. Hallelujah!

Damn I love this place. And it’s a plus I can literally walk to it. It’s not your typical grocery Outlet or food source feel. It’s actually packed with deals galore.
It gets messy sometimes but you can find a load of stuff from decorating your home to dog accessories and even purchasing eggs.

My favorite Big Lots west of the Mississippi. Conveniently located, this is my go to spot for those items that I’d have to pay an arm and a leg for. Friendly staff and and overall cleanliness of the store makes shopping here quite pleasurable.

This place is GREAT. Tons of food, some familiar, some awesomely weird. Kitchen gadgets, bedding, furniture, lounge chairs… crazy assortment and killer prices. I scored two AWESOME zero-​gravity deck chairs, three lip glosses, a 32-​pack of granola bars, and some other snacks… and the total was under 100.00. I’m like a shopping black belt!!! YEEEAAAH! And the parking was great.

I got a jumbo bodywash with a pump on top for $ 3. Loofah was $ 1.50, but I think $ 1 woulda been a better price. It smells (bodywash) ok, …I guess. Prices for dishes here were much higher than I thought they should be (who do ya think you are? lol). Waffle maker was priced high ($ 27???), prices were high here on average I thought, considering it’s a Big Lots. I wish this place was still a Thrifty’s …they had the best ice cream for a great price. :(I could do without this Big Lots, it cheapens Hercules in my opinion. Hopefully they close soon. lol

I love coming to this Big Lots. I always find what I need here (and of course things that I don’t really need) lol The store is always well stocked and clean. Some of the staff members are nice and others seem like they really hate their job.
Usually I come here for, bedding stuff, bathroom stuff, shampoo, occasionally iPhone cases and kitchen stuff. Everything I find here, are good quality and at awesome prices. They have a lot of variety which is always nice. Doesn’t really get to busy in here but sometimes there is only one cash register open and other staff members wandering around and I am like why aren’t you at a register?
Anyway, other than that, this is a good place to shop.
Also if you shop here often get a rewards card, so worth it!
Plenty of parking space, which is awesome.

I was against having a Big Lots in Hercules in the beginning but now it’s not so bad. I come here to purchase cleaning supplies, find deals on snacks especially the healthy ones. I’ve bought my wedding reception stuff here including outdoor lights, appetizer plates and napkins. Only downside is the lines are pretty slow.

Since the store closed at the Green House in San Leandro it had been years since I have been to a Big Lots. It seems like they have slowly disappeared.
This location is small when compared to the last one I went to. They have furniture, mattresses, holiday decorations, food items, clothing, cleaning items and toiletries.
Prices are inexpensive. Some of the brands are «off brands» or in old packaging. I wouldn’t try the food items. Some of the packages I picked up were dusty, who knows how old it is.
The shelves and racks were a little messy and disorganized but at discount stores that seems to be the trend.
The employees were helpful. I saw a couple of them helping patrons with furniture and taking the over sized items to their car on the handcart/​dolly.
I did find a unique sign that was marked $ 10.00. When I was at the register the cashier said the total was $ 2.71! Wow it was on sale and I didn’t know it. Score! That made my afternoon.
I would come back to purchase seasonal items, household goods and decorations.

It’s a pretty good place sometimes to get things for cheap. You can get accessories and toys and things of that nature. Stay away from the food and things you consume because if your not planning on eating it ASAP it’s on the fast track to its expiration date and that’s why it’s so cheap. It’s a good value store, not the best but pretty good for what we have in the area.

I love shopping here for :
Dog Bowls
Dog Toys
Frames
Cleaning Supplies
You can find the best deals here and I usually come here so randomly, I always come out with something! The people are nice and this location is pretty organized. If you are coming here for food CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATES! Other than that I dont think I’ve ever bought something and was not happy.
