Big Lots came thru for me again. I'd been looking for a cheap but safe extension cord to use with…read moremy cell phone in motel rooms so I could use it in the evenings and mornings while it was charging and hadn't had any luck at the Dollar Stores I had checked out. I didn't want to spend a lot since I had some at home and might be leaving it behind at the end if my trip and I didn't want one of those pukey green ones they sell in the Xmas stuff. I also wanted a small lotion with a pump top and had only found large versions so far. As I pulled into Alpena I spotted this Big Lots and figured I'd take a quick look for both. They had several extension cords to chose from. I picked up one for $2.50, then set it down when I came across another for only $1.50--perfect! I also picked up a coupla spearmint flavored Carmex chapsticks and some nail scissors. Oh, and I found a small 4oz. Calgon lotion with a pump top that easily locks when you aren't using it that is a perfect travel size (and I love the lotion in it) for only $1.50, too. So I left happy and glad I'd made the stop. The store itself is spacious and well lit and was organized and clean when I was there. The clerks were helpful and efficient. I had no complaints.

If you speak up the pharmacy workers will threaten you with not providing the service. They may call you names such as, "you are really a piece of work". Lastly, they will flat out tell you, "go somewhere else next time". My advice, don't go to Meijer pharmacy; they do not care about the customer or providing great customer care.
