I have three of these bad boys near me and I use them interchangeably. I don't visit one often, maybe once a month, but they fill a few specific needs for me.
I find they do a nice job on picnic ware. You know, paper plates, plastic utensils, cups, etc. Really cheap. I also find great deals on greeting cards. If you have the need, their party supplies are great! If you need to decorate for a kid's party, this is your place. They are also a great place to grab bagged ice.
Cleanliness goes up and down. If they have recently received an order, the aisles are packed solid with boxes and the place is a mess. Otherwise, if the manager is halfway decent, the place can be clean and tidy.
Like cleanliness, the employees can be a mixed bag. I've experienced everything from blindingly good customer service to surliness and apathy. If it's bad, I just let it roll off my back as I'm getting the cheap stuff I need.
They are what they are and I just get in, get out and move on without a big dent in my wallet! read more
