Beware of possible CREDIT CARD SCAM/SWINDLE with this store. Two weeks ago, I made a return to…read morethis store and was credited $3.58 for it on my Discover card. I then left the store without having made any purchases. Upon returning home, I realized the store clerk did not return my Discover card to me, and that there was a purchase of $23 + change by a stranger on my card. The usual RUN-AROUND ensued: Big Lots told me I must take it up with Discover card, and Discover card referred me back to Big Lots. Bottom line: I was SWINDLED this $23 + change by paying for either a stranger, or the employee's purchase. NOT a lot of money, but enough to warrant warning others to be aware of this situation. Big Lots did not have the integrity to check their security surveillance to determine that I did NOT make this purchase, and to determine who DID. Way to screw over your long-time, loyal (senior citizen) customers, BIG LOTS!

It's pretty easy to get in and out of parking lot.
