Ollie's is Coming to Town

I have written a few times about Ollie's Bargain Outlet, which is something kind of like a Big Lots, but bigger and better than one. There's one near us, about 35 minutes away a few towns over, and we go there to browse around at...

On this hot day, I arrived early at Big Lots to wait for Allie to show up before my shift started. Since we didn't know what my next assignment was for the day, I resumed merchandise recovery in the back end from where we left off...

Bummer...

Had plans to go to Stein Mart last week, when I came upon a closed store. I was shocked. Thought maybe they just closed the beaches store. Until I looked tonight online, to find that they went totally belly up! I really liked...

Working in retail

omgitsajenny @omgitsajenny (45) 6 Feb 21

I currently work in a Tesco and I only started in November 2020, but I already hate it. Has anybody else worked in retail? Did you like or dislike it? And if you disliked it, did it get better?

I took a break for a few days after it got busy at work again and felt sick but it was hormone related. I finally got some masks but managed to get a friend of a friend to make me some cloth ones so I can't wait for those. But...

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 22 Nov 19

I sometimes buy things on Amazon.com. It's usually small stuff, like guitar strings, Patchouli oil, phonograph cartridges, or capacitors for the speakers I restore. A couple of times, I submitted reviews of products I bought,...

How Best Buy lost a customer. Perhaps for life. Are brick and mortar stores soon to be a thing of the past?

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 19 Nov 19

My buddy found his guitar strings at Guitar Center yesterday. But they "didn't have" the ones I was looking for--the ones that came on the guitar I bought there. I'll just order some more online. We stopped at Fry's electronics,...
