I am so surprised that no one has reviewed this discounted mecca prior to me! This place is simply…read moreamazing. It is basically like "Marshalls" on a smaller scale, and not as prissy. You know- they get shipments of stuff that other stores gave up on, and they sell the stuff at discounted prices. I believe that the trucks come on Mondays, and everything is on the floor by Wednesday. The peeps who work there are friendly and very helpful. They have a seniors' program and also a program for "Fridayers"...if you shop on Friday, you get a discount. Plus, you also rack up points and I now have a $5.00 off coupon, which equals joy. They do have a bathroom that is wheelchair accessible. Here are some of my best finds: -"New Balance" sneaks at just a bit over $20.00 -"Harajuku MinI" from Target -"Waverly" queen quilt for just $20.00 -Fancy, sequined "Old Navy" shirt for $6.00 -"Playmobil" figs for $1.99 each -"Blythe" doll address book for $2.00 (still there) -"1928" earrings for like $1.63 -"Yankee Candles" -"Dockers" in distinguished shades Just a heads-up: Examine items for defects. Clothes with defects is not such a biggie, but a wooden spoon that is crappy is a biggie to me. "Burke's" does accept returns, even if you opened/released the item. (That wooden spoon is history.) However, deeply discounted items (70% to 95%), cannot be returned. Heads up: the manager is slightly tough. She is probably fed up with irrational people. However, if you see broken glass on the floor, tell her. I told other employees three times, but I never witnessed anyone say "So-and-so, go sweep that up", or witnessed anyone sweep it up. I am big on avoiding danger, as I have seen many strange things in my lifetime. Go, and mention me so I can get more discounts.

My Neice paid…read morefor a $10.69 purchase with a 20 and was told that the manager had taken all the change they couldn't give her change for the 20 (it was right at closing time) My niece told them that she had the change or could pay on her card and the cashier Noah was told to refund her money and re ring the skirt When he did the refund he handed her $10.69 instead of the 20 she had given him. We tried to explain to him that he owed her $20 not $10.69. Noah continued to get frustrated while another employee managed to get him some change but he argued with us that he didn't owe anything back. We explained that he did owe her $9.31. Noah "I'm so fucking tired of impatient people" and angrily handed my Neice her change as we all stood there stunned. My Neice told him he was being ridiculous to which he said call corporates and I said we will Noah to which he said I don't give a shit. Meanwhile it's 7:55pm and we realize we've been locked in the store that closes at 8!!!! NOT the experience we were looking forward too Noah clearly needs some training and would perhaps be better in a position where he does not have to interact with customers

I came to Big Lots with my family today and bought a skirt that was around $10. I gave Noah the…read morecashier a $20 bill and was told they had no $1's or 5's to provide me with my change. That was not a problem so I told them I had smaller change to pay with or I could pay with my card. Noah seemed very frustrated with the situation to start with. The lady who was helping told him to just do a refund because she asked if I could pay with a card. ( I told her yes) He then proceeded to do the refund and gave me a 10-dollar bill back and some change then to give it back to pay for my skirt. I then told him I paid with a $20 so I would still need my change back. (This was the issue to start with) He started getting more upset and looked at me and said "I'm tired of dealing with all these f***ing impatient people. I was absolutely stunned. Not once was I rude or impatient with him. I looked at him and did not expect my change because I didn't even know how to respond. I was upset so I snatched my change as he kept mumbling about how impatient we were. My mom and Aunt and I also told him how rude and ridiculous he just acted. My aunt then said that we will contact someone for his awful behavior which he replied with "good, I do not give a shit". I am not the one to write about any service good or bad but I felt very disrespected. Maybe if I were being rude or impatient I could see how I could have made him act like this but I did none of the sort. Sorry, Noah but I do not think you belong in customer service, especially with all the hickeys that were on your neck.

If you are in the Maggie Valley area and wear women's clothing, like jewelry, or are shopping for a…read moregift, this store is a must visit. Driving by it's hard to miss as the building is painted purple and there are dresses hanging from the gazebo, fluttering in the breeze. Don't miss the racks outside but once you enter the real fun begins. It's like walking into a rainbow as you are surrounded with colorful confections of clothing, leggings in any pattern you can dream of, silver (and more!) jewelry, handcrafted gift items and puzzles galore. The name of the store comes from the fact that they carry items from around the world. I love shopping here because you will find items you won't see anywhere else. I always get compliments when I wear something from this store. My sisters-in-law call it "the leggings store" because they carry so many (supersoft) leggings. Their specialty is tunics and dusters but you'll also find dresses, pants, jackets, and more. The sales team is a great resource to help you find just what you're looking for. Prices are mostly on the higher end but, in my opinion, reasonable for a curated collection of unusual items.

I fight down a panic and try to not feel numb. For me, thrift stores are an antidote. This thrift store has been rearranged. It is bigger now. More space to move. Clothing was hung by color or print. Most stuff is arranged in certain categories and labeled. Small, framed pictures were hard to get to. Scarfs were overflowing. You have to put in an effort in some areas still, but overall, the makeover of this shop is a great improvement. There is even a unisex bathroom now! However, the sink was not working. Not ideal, pandemic or no pandemic. No no if you have to go go. The dressing rooms were not open. Not sure why. Rampant theft of six-year-old Old Navy blouses, or just HCM trying not to entice people to share small spaces with abated breaths. The reason that I removed one star is because one of the cashiers is INCREASING THE PRICES AT HER DISCRETION. Her doing that is immoral and may even be unlawful. I let her get away with it with the book I was buying. The price had been reduced by half, but she added a quarter. However, just about twenty minutes ago, my daughter told me that the cashier did the same with her craft items. I know that HCM has to fix the sink, but I draw the line at scamming a kid. I feel good that by us shopping here, we are supporting people in times of crises. But I don't have to support a con. I will return when I can clean my hands and HCM cleans their souls.
