Big Lots

This is my store.
I shop here so often that some of the employees think they know me and wave when I see them at other places.
The store is super clean. They have a huge selection of nearly everything you need. I can get everything from toilet paper, as seen on tv products, coconut oil, to Paula Deen cookware and imported pasta and Olive oil! This is the go to store for just about anything. The coolest part is that it’s cheap! And because it does so much business the products are always fresh.
This particular store also had a huge furniture section that was just expanded.

This is a big store with a big selection. I am however annoyed at my recent shopping experience here… i had about 30.00 worth of items in my cart – one checkout person was open and three other ladies where just hanging around the desk area… nobody gets in a hurry. My husband was attempting to purchase a man’s razor that wasn’t marked. They had several different varieties on the shelf all banged up and open boxed and he just happened to be impressed with one that wasn’t priced.
When we put it with the other items the bar code didn’t scan and the checkout lady turned to her supervisor said it wouldn’t scan and make a pointing motion to where a tag had apparently fell off as you can still see the adhesive residue.
i wanted to just pay for what I had and let them sort this out to keep the line moving but that lady said oh i can suspend this transaction.(thanks asshole!)
So she suspended my transaction with the push of one key and ripped off my receipt and handed to her fucking manager so I got pushed aside with that lady to another register… she was on that computer looking up shit for at least 10 – 15 mintues wtih no success and stated she would have to call another store to find the pricce… SERIOUSLY??? She never even walked her ample ass to the display to see if she could locate a sticker or bar code — I suggested she find a similar product and use that but she just couldn’t do that because it would mess up her precious inventory… seems like they already have a problem.
I am not a woman with great patience… so I told the husband he didn’t need that damn razor and made the lady take my money for my few other items that I obviously wanted or I would have just left it all and went elsewhere but I did want my little travel cover for my kindle and the dog leash and collar for my dog… so I let her take another 10 mintues to review my entire receipt and finally take my money…
Next time I’m skipping this store and experience…

This is the Taj Mahal of the Big Lots chain of stores. So much great holiday décor and super cheap housewares type stuff. The next time I need a blender or some dishtowels I know exactly where to go.
It actually seemed clean and not completely shady inside too. If most Big Lots were this well stocked and clean I’d actually go into them instead of avoiding them.
I’m still a little nervous about the food selection as it just seems like it’s expired? Or about to expire.

The mascot guy with the cape and glasses gives this place an auto-​five.
Also, good place to pick up stationery and other office junk you don’t really need.
