Had very highly expectations that I would be treated with courteous customer service and at least get acknowledge when we walked in. When we walked in we did not get acknowledged. Nor did someone come up to ask if I need assistance or help with finding something. Another customer came in, they where treated very differently then how we did. The younger lady at the cash register and the older female just looked at us. The younger lady was creeping behind me and felt very intimidated and uncomfortable. That's when we decided to leave. Never have I encountered such experience.

Lastly, there is always a really good deal. My most recent purchase was white wooden Adirondack chairs and they are normally priced at like $100 per chair and I got them for about $67 each which was very surprising and I couldnt have been more happy!

I started at the books and immediately found a book I have been looking for, for $5.99 that I could not find for less then $15 even on the used sites. Sold! I found the iced coffee maker with the milk frother I have been looking for for $25. (It's $99 other places.) I did not have time to really go further, and almost got trapped in the clearance Halloween section before making it to checkout. If Ollie's has any flaws, other then it feeling like a thrift store, it would be that the carts can't go outside. Having to haul a large coffee maker box and my bag out to my car was a bit of a feat! Also the lady who checked me out seemed nice but was really put out when I asked for a membership card. I told her, if she didn't want to do it, I could see if I could do it online, but would like a physical card. She finally just signed me up.

It's almost like the antique malls where people rent stalls and sell their wares, except that everything is new. There are craft items, collectibles, clothing, candles, socks and so much more! They even had a stall selling Glamorous Wash Laundry Detergent. I like the High Maintenance and Diva scents and use it for my bedding. I love the way that it makes them smell! If you find something that you like, just bring it up to the register at the front of the store and they'll ring you up. I hope that our Painted Tree is just as cool as this was!

Cons: The stalls are not arranged in any kind of order, so you have to walk the entire store. Some of the aisles felt a bit tight. Biggest con and why I will not go back: 2 day return policy and a 14 day exchange policy, which is not noted anywhere that I noticed. Not a helpful policy for Christmas gifts, as I learned the hard way.

Needed a more quiet space to get some work done for about an hour, but once a table opened up the table next to it had some loud talkers and it was not conducive to focused work. The staff is nice and helpful. They seem to always have a smile! The coffee is great. Always fresh. The bakery items are good too! I have tried about half of their regular fare and they never disappoint. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is it seems some people camp out there to get work done for hours on end. It makes those of us who want to just get out of a normal office setting to enjoy some coffee and a snack have a hard time finding a spot. Other than that, love the casual vibe and change of pace.
