Unfortunately Big Lots has evolved into a over priced dollar store, which is 180 degrees from the initial marketing concept I observed in 1991. In 2001 they were in the midst of the transformation but I found a refurbished HP printer for $50 which I am using 8 years later. More recently at the grand opening of a new store: A bizarre 30" plastic beer bottle filled with popcorn for a mere TEN DOLLARS? This was one of many garbage items stocked at this new location, which was too sterile and mundane. It will be the first and last visit to that location, which strangely had no furniture department. The reason big lots had to close the store nearest me was due to the fact they violated their lease (with nearby furniture store landlord) and stocked furniture. Never assume an open or damaged box isn’t going to be a problem.

Big Lots is junk anyway and they sell expired food. Can you believe I was fired and prosecuted for throwing out a damaged swing set that if sold could have harmed some innocent child?

You are only as good as your last weeks sales. You can defend the company all you want but trust me they dont give a shit about you or any other employee there. I would love to know what position you have at your store. Give it some time and you will soon eat your words. You are only as good as your last weeks sales.

I didn't question it because he was loading it into my car and thought for sure that an esteemed employee from big lots would probably have been smart enough to check the fucking box before he gave it to me. I mean, you being one of their stellar employees, wouldn't you check your merchandise if it had a tear in it before you gave it to the customer? Rachel,

And every other customer who has bought something obviously damaged, then wondered why they had troubles returning or exhanging it. Actually customer satisfaction is pounded into our head since the day we're hired and most employees of any company will try to comply with that. Also, its not the employees who leave shit on the floor, let their kids roam the store, and tear open packages to ''see how it looks''. Its the customers that do that. Well you, for example.
