I went into BigLots yesterday with a new acquaintance who is a regular shopper there. She was returning something she didn't like, without any guff from the people behind the register, despite not having the receipt! The manager just gave her a BigLots 'store use only' card with the amount refunded.
I went back today to check out merchandise and although they had some of the 'lower end' stuff, BigLots had mostly mid-to-better brands on their shelves, at fairly good pricing. Unfortunately, some of the tech boxes had been emptied of contents by thieves... actions which come back on everyone else via higher price points.
The lighting is atrocious at BigLots! Way, way, waaaay too much fluorescent lighting! Gotta wear 'shades'.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Big parking lot, shared with a fitness center and Harbor Freight, so lots to see and do. It's def worth a few more visits! AND they have a credit card, 'six months same as cash'! read more
