Big Lots

I went in today with a friend to buy something… Cashiers are sooooooo slllllllllooooow! Then all of a sudden you see two guys run out with a bunch of merchandise… Neither one of the cashiers even noticed until a customer said something… (now I know loss prevention has to run after them and they are not allowed to) then one of the employees asked what they took and one of them said they had a big box… For one HELLO! Nobody saw anything weird about a guy walking around throwing shit in a box… For two they proceeded to then laugh! Yeah, it must be so funny some low lives just stole from your store… I still stood in line for another 10 mins before I got to the register in between time nobody called a manager or loss prevention…
Just weird… lol

This is my go to place usually for cat food and supplies like cat stands, catnip toys, pooper scoopers, cat litter and boxes.
I pick up toiletries here too especially facial tissue cuz you know their lifetime is short — pick it from the box, blow your nose, garbage destined piece of filthy tissue.
I find their laundry and cleaning solutions and supplies either comparable to or cheaper than Walmart. However, I shop both depending on the convenience of either store location.
After Christmas this store however puts stuff on clearance. Yay for clearance fanatics! They do have the nice kind of ornaments and the huge giant ones, plus various fun lighting — if you like trimming your tree as if it’s the civic center tree lighting ceremony. But go ahead! I love festive lights too (batting eyelashes).
I do want to say thank you to the workers in this store location for their patience especially when there were long holiday lines. Also, because I know where to find what I need in this location. They keep their shelves organized. I don’t always find what I’m looking for but 98% of the time I have. I miss purchasing the 10 bar dove soap package.
See ya’ next time!

Big Lots is a hit or miss for deals. Sometimes they have good stuff at good prices, and other times they have crap for good prices, and sometimes, well, they place pretty high esteem on their crap.
This particular location is kind of small and pretty dingy, and while it is understaffed and hard to find help with in the store, the staff is actually quite friendly and very helpful.

Haven’t been to a big lots in years. Me and my wife just recently moved to Riverside from Long Beach and needed some décor for the Place and they had a really nice section for cheap and quality stuff. I mean I wouldn’t buy food from here but we got forks and spoons and cleaning things for the bathroom. And they actually have a decent section for linen and rugs so we made out. Customer service was decent but hey you want better customer service go next door to bed bath and beyond and you will get better service but you sure will pay for it with those high ass prices.

Horrribblleee service. When I walked in, there was a huge line and i guess the cashier was waiting on the other cashier who was late running in behind me. She made a big announcement., «oh there she is!!!» i went and did my shopping and then waited in a long line. There were 3 ladies up front but only 2 were on registers and the 3^rd lady was cleaning a glass counter. Umnm hellloooooo, you have a line running through your store, forget the glass counter and help your guests!!! Just bad customer service, I won’t be back here.

Totally do not recommend This Big Lots Employees look like they hate workin here. they are Rude and Very Impatient .I hate even putting one star. but that was just for the prices. that’s all

I normally shop the one in Murrieta, Ca. And/​or Temecula Ca., when I was at the Tyler mall in Riverside I made a horrible mistake when I decided to go into this trash can of a store. As soon as you walk into the store you are taken back by how filthy the store is, merchandise thrown everywhere, dirty shelving, filthy carts, but when you have a problem or question, and you get to meet their manager Lisa, everything makes sense, she is the most rude employee I have ever met, forget the fact she is a manager, her level of rudeness falls below a box cutter way! In the back of the store, this lady should not be anywhere near customers, she wouldn’t even get off her personal call to solve a problem her cashier was having with my merchandise. Her cashier was embarrassed and apologizing for her. Never again, when in Riverside stir clear from this nightmare, stick to Hell-​Mart/​Wal-​Mart.

this is for the jerk jeff who just hung up on me 5 minutes ago when i called the riverside store on tyler & asked if they had any christmas trees left. 1 star is for him, not the store but unfortunately, he represents the store.

It’s big lots. It can be messy and confusing but if you dig enough you’ll find a good deal on something. The staff at the register is always friendly.

I like Big Lots, but this location is pretty run down.
Kind of old looking, though the entire plaza looks pretty nice, tons of parking out front.
Their prices can’t be beat, I have come across many great deals on home furnishings and snacks, though this location I found nothing worth buying.
I’m sure I’d be back if I needed something while in Riverside, though I have been to many better of their locations.

I am SO old, I remember when Big Lots was called Pic N Sav… For years. If you shopped or worked at Pic N Sav, everyone ranked you out.
So what to do? About some 20 years ago, they decide to change their crappy image by changing their name.
Big Lots. I like to call them Big NOTS.
Fast forward 20 years to the present day. It’s now 2014, and guess what?
They still suck.
Prices here are no better than Wal Mart, and the atmosphere sucks and the prices are NOT any real «savings»
Example: Small solar powered lawn lights. $ 0.97 each at Wal Mart. SAME ONES $ 1.47 each at Big Lots.
Uhhhh. No.
One star because I DID find a FEW stickers to add to my scrapbook stuff.

I like the Corona store better. Of course the low prices on brand name things surpass the dilapidated store. Several aisles are usually cluttered. Love the cleaning supplies i can get here.

Everytime I go to this Big Lot I end up buying something. The stuff they actually sell are name brand and quality. Prices are of course reasonable and the staff were friendly. It was well organized and clean.
