Big Lots

We went to Big Lots to purchase the couch we were pre approved for credit to return the next day to buy an additional item they were unable to figure out how to use the computer system it took 2 different managers we also had to wait while they got on the phone to talk to their corporate office where we waited 3 hours to have to use my own smartphone to do the whole application process again the assistant team leader I believe her name was Carrie was absolutely horrible and rude and I would not suggest ever going to Big Lots if you want to get out of there in under three hours

We go to this store weekly. Clerks are friendly and you can’t beat the prices!

Why doesn’t management clean that mess of a store up! As the other reviewer said they sell cheap, cheap stuff. I’ve gone in there on a Monday and the store looked like a earth quake had hit, not a very good impression.

Every time I go to Big Lot’s it’s usually for 1 or 2 items, I ALWAYS leave the store with no less then 10!!! I am always finding great buys… I have been shopping this store when it’s name was MacFrugals back in the ‘90s and LOVE IT!!!

No thanks to the clerk who assisted me when I requested an electronic product on display behind the counter. As he was also trying to help another customer at the time, he refused to just hand me the $ 8 item and allow me to walk five feet to the checkout line. I didn’t enjoy standing there for ten minutes like a criminal while he held my purchase, telling me that I cannot be trusted carry the product to the register all by myself. Apparently, I am too much of a security risk to handle this EIGHT DOLLAR item without being supervised by the staff.
I left there without the product and bought elsewhere. I should have made that my last visit but I thought I’d give them one more chance. I wish I hadn’t.
On another visit, I purchased a bluetooth headset to use with my phone.
I got home and opened the box to find my new headset covered with GOBS of EARWAX from it’s previous owner. Yuck! Thanks a lot Big lots.
I return to the store to exchange the product, and the clerk tries to apologize and even makes a point of showing me that he is pulling my replacement from the back of the shelf, in the hopes that this doesn’t happen again. Guess what? It did. Apparently, Big lots only sells products coated in other people’s biohazardous waste. I am now too disgusted to ever go there again.

This store now occupies the building that used to be occupied by Safeway, before they got their new snazzy one on Missouri Flat. I mention this because it is the only real drawback to this store… things seem a bit crowded and cluttered sometimes. That said, I always find something fun or useful to buy, and the clerks and especially the management are very friendly and helpful. Go shop there and take it for what it is.

Big lots has not changed. Still a bunch of lead laden, Chinese manufactured crap that I can’t get enough of.
