Big Lots

I have had pretty bad experiences with the staff here before not being very helpful and being chatty among themselves, but today was a whole different level of frustration. If this location was not so conveniently close to my work, I would not come here again. Today, the only cashier open rang up my $ 60 order and the card reader would not read my card, didn’t even register that I was swiping anything. Two cards later, and a long line behind me, she kept telling me that MY CARD was the problem and she couldn’t help me at all. I asked if I could be rung up on a different register or my card be manually entered and she said «No, that won’t work, if it’s the system is down, all the readers are down.» She begun ringing up the next customer without warning anyone in line that the reader wasn’t working. She rang up half this lady’s order before asking her for cash only (But it was MY CARD THAT WASN’T WORKING?!)
At this time, another cashier opened up and I watched the customer he was helping use a card with no problem! I told the lady «helping» me that his worked and she sent me to him (only after he rang up HIS WHOLE LINE first! No ringing me up first since I have been waiting!). When they couldn’t recall my suspended order, they called in ANOTHER cashier to help and eventually told me they couldn’t help me because it wasn’t coming up. I had to ask them to please re-​ring up my items or they would have not helped me at all!
Go figure, my card went right through (although she told everyone it was MY CARD that wasn’t working). All I got was a half-​hearted «sorry» for the ordeal and wait.

This is my go to store! I come here at least once a week. I like Richard, he works in furniture. Really awesome dude. Pretty much you get what big lots is about. This isn’t saks 5^th ave but still… a cool store. I’m going here in 10 min haha.

I’ve never thought of shopping at Big Lots because I remember back when it was Pic’N’Save and I still envisioned that dirt mall store-​type of place. Well, not anymore. It’s by no means up there with Macy’s. Heck, it’s not even up to par with Target, but they have some good finds. I was looking for some accent furniture for my new house and found a great little piece for my entryway. Much to my surprise, it was made out of real wood and not that composite or decompressed wood. I had to put it together, but it’s sturdy and I get compliments on it.
It’s also a great place to get odds and ends, like curtain tension rods or patio chair cushions. Of course, there are things that are so gaudy that no one should buy. But there are also things that are amazing and extremely inexpensive.
As far as staffing… I haven’t ever had a problem with any of the staff. They are always polite and friendly. The furniture guy even checked other stores for me to find what I needed.

Always great finds but disorganized store! Staff could be a bite more friendly and helpful. Store always has staff but they talk between themselves and not very helpful. Otherwise store is good and clean.

I love this big lots there always so nice and friendly. I went to pick up a few things for a super bowl party I was having and went to pick up chips. The lady named Alma was so nice and helped me reach for somwthing on the top shelf. She even got me a cart cause i ended up getting more than what I intended to get lol. I love that they have a produce isle btw! The store is the bomb

We were looking for some couches — yes, at Big Lots don’t judge. When I called to see if they had them in stock, the staff could not have been nicer. They had me on hold for a while to look through the warehouse, but kept picking up my call to keep me posted. Ultimately when we got there and sat in them, they weren’t that comfy, but I did appreciate the extra effort!

Usually can find what I am looking for in Big Lots right in my budget!!! One of my favorite stores

i lik ethis big lots because it is clean and has a lot more items then all the others that i have been too.
the only thing i do not like is that they are low on staff…
make sure you check out the clearance items!!!

We purchased two bottles of wine, one being «R. Merlo». This bottle was nasty. I don’t know if it is the way it has been handled or the wine itself. But, to say the least it was BAD!

I’m not a huge Big Lots shopper, but with my mom looking for some stuff to decorate the new bathrooms she redoing in the house, we figured with all the luck we’ve been having in La Mirada this shouldn’t be so bad. well it sorta was. My mom founds some good deals on mirrors and frames, I however wasn’t too impressed with the fact they had a glass vanity that I feel in love with for $ 1000. yup over $ 1000. It’s freaken Big Lots. I couldn’t get over it. The store is very crowded with merchandise and the people shopping where a little shady looking, and it’s a little ghetto looking but overall it was okay. but again $ 1000 for a vanity table. give me a freaken break. I won’t be coming here again. Ever!

I have a love affair with Big Lots-​Just don’t tell Mr. Jones.
Big Lots is amazing! They have everything for cheap! I went to their school supply sale,(yes I love school supplies.) and I got a 4 gig SanDisk USB Drive for $ 10. I KNOW! TEN DOLLARS! I also got those fancy $ 10 Five-​Star notebooks, for… drumroll please…$ 2 bucks each… Wow…I love you…
Will you marry me?
The only thing I have to say about this Big Lots, is that its a little g-​h-​e-​t-​t-​o. But heck, every marriage has its problems. :0
