It's an Ollies, so if you've ever been in one you know. As for this particular store it seems, for…read morethe most part, better than others. The shelves are not as disorganized as I've seen other stores. As for staff: They have always been nice. My largest concern is the cleanliness of the restrooms. On my last visit, I had to use men's room and I have to say it was a bit rough. I know it's nasty customers who created the problem but management needs to get the corrected by whatever means necessary. I mean it had a piss smell and even boogers on the one in the one stall. Again customers are nasty, but some staff have to see this.

I think the Tasmanian Devil does the stocking here based on the looks of the shelves. Normally I…read morewould blame customers but I never see that many cars out front to warrant that behemoth mess. The "craft" section is mostly scattered crap. There is a substantial book section but most of it junk although a great source for children's books, crosswords etc. The holiday section had a lot to offer and they have quite the large selection of all things, rugs. There are also lots of household items and if you need Carhart or Dickies and you are patient enough the sift through the disarray, you just might find something for dirt cheap. Since the line was snaking around the registers with only one poor guy at the helm, I looked down at the three items in my cart, pondered standing in line for twenty minutes, and said "Nope!" I'm in no hurry to go back. I just wasn't overly impressed. Your mileage may vary.

Super cute! It's a lot bigger that you would expect. Tons of clothes, a housewares room, a toy…read moreroom, home decor area, massive amount of books, and a separate bargain section. It's cash or check only so make sure you hit up the ATM beforehand. I scored a child size tableware pottery (butter dish, syrup pitcher, and three section server) for next to nothing. I was really there for a lampshade and small wall shelves...which I GOT! Plus six matching metal buckets. I would encourage to not bring the kiddos just so you can enjoy the hunt and not worry about what they are getting into.

Quick Review™ + Location. It's closer to where most live than the PX, unless you live in a house*. (*Who lives in those?) + Parking is free. America. - One cannot find any parking. Food options blow, hard. Alterations and car hires are certainly a shitshow. Barbershop is more than likely par with the rest of the AAFES's: it fucking sucks. Employee of Excellence™ N/A. Whoever put up the life-sized, anti-shoplifting cardboard sign featuring the MP with the most inspiring, badass mustache in all CONUS. That is the employee of excellence. ------------------------------------------ Author's note: This review was removed THRICE because (a) the "Support team ha[d] determined that it [fell] outside our Content Guidelines (http://www.yelp.com/guidelines) because of its promotional content" (not sure what I was promoting), (b) "personal attacks" and (c) "promotional content." Not sure what the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth removals will be for. Let's find out .... Remove it ten times, I will post it eleven. Remove it a million times, then you sure would have expended a tonne of minimum wage hours removing a review that I will just paste once again. CTRL V. ------------------------------------------ They have what one would come to expect in a shoppette if one is not some PV0 with zero experience with this kind of shit. There are other chains located within -- although they shall remain nameless since apparently brain-dead idiots at Yelp® Headquarters think that mentioning stores inside a mall is "promotional content" -- so, go to the Shoppette and figure it out yourself. There is a food truck that fires up the BBQ grill out front during lunch. It shall remain nameless since it could be construed as promotional content. There is a place to hire DVDs and Blu-rays from a vending box, whose colour and name shall remain nameless because otherwise it would be promotional in nature. In fact, this whole review is a promotion of AAFES, the U.S. Armed Forces, Yelp, that donkey Jeremy Stoppelman, et. al, so .... Alright, easy with all the promotional content! I digress. In the actual shoppette, there are plentiful drugs (alcohol, tobacco, caffeine), unhealthy snacks, and school supplies. Assorted household items and a crappy selection of print magazines also are central to the available stock, as is typical globally with AAFES. There are Compact Discs (still) and Digital Video Discs (still). And, terribly designed trinkets; because so many tourists from around the wide world travel to Fort Lee and want that cheap T-shirt: I've been to Fort Lee, VA ... the fort named for an unabashed traitor to the United States of America! Fort Lee is for lovers. *shakes head. Goddamn waste of taxpayer monies if you ask me. My experience consisted of walking/driving to the PXtra, walking in through the doors (after opening them), shopping for things I needed, standing in queue to pay, and paying. No tax. Pro Tip: No tax. Pro Tip: The alterations shop is a shitshow. Comedic in nature, but still a shit show. It's called Stripes. Don't go there. Ever. Final Word™ A''ight. Just barely "A-OK." ------------------------------------------ Individual reviews for approved Yelp dot com (easy with the promotional content, Edwin P.) listings for businesses located within the AAFES PXtra at Fort Lee, VA, U.S.A. Enterprise: Two-stars "This Enterprise is the largest pile of dung I have ever been forced patronise. And, I would know. I have hired motor vehicles from nearly every company in the nation." EZ Rack Builder Kiosk: Three-stars "The cost was absorbent; however, the pricepoint will depend on how many ribbons you have in your rack. Some people have minuscule, cute racks; others have monumental, heavy looking, well endowed racks. Those are a lot more costly." Le Pough's Bar-B-Que: Two-stars "Where I was disappointed was with the items I purchased -- and consumed -- and, the sheer amount of flies blanketing all of the non-'cue food." Military Clothing: Three-stars "All in all, it is not too different from other Clothing & Sales across the landscape. Military Clothing on Ft. Lee is barely just A-OK, but you don't have much of a choice, so get on with it and roll with the punches." Stripes: One-star "They don't sew on your sergeant stripes straight here. I shouldn't have to point out the irony." ------------------------------------------ Not good for tourists*. (*although we are all tourists on Fort Lee.) Not good for kids**. (**unless it's a kid with a CAC [legitimate Acronym, don't flag.]) Not good for dogs***. (***unless the dog is one of those MP canines.)

I hit this one up in Petersburg right before Christmas. I got a case of water for a dollar. This is a big deal around Fort Lee because the tap tastes like swamp water (horrible!). I bought several cases of the cheap water. I always look through the book section. They have tons of books for children, but they also had a NYT's best seller by Geneen Roth for $1 and the book isn't all THAT old! I bought a few cheap, cute greeting cards as well. Of note, you can grab your THC test kit, pregnancy test, and urinary tract test strips quickly as they are all placed right together. What a steal at $3 for all 3! :)

I found my nice discounted wrapping paper and ornaments I bought a few days after Christmas rang up correctly.

I love me some stationary and anyone from a kid to ab adult will love this (if they love stationary stuff). There are lots of other tchotchkes. They also had nicer varieties of household staples but I don't know if they were any cheaper than other stores. I will definitely come back and buy writing utensils I not need. For a $1-$3 each, why not?
