Ocean State Job Lot

Always something new.

Our experience today was pleasant but very confusing.nnPath/ aisle indicators were only in the food section. No rhyme or reason to the rest of the store.nnThe place looked like it had been picked over. Shelves were in disarray and half empty.nnCheck out was the weirdest yet. No indicator to go to just one aisle in the food section for checkout & wait to be called. The Manager was in charge and NOT doing a very good job. Cashiers were calling his name to let him know they were available.nnFirst time we saw there was a 2% service charge on all purchases for staff on top of their $2.00 raise. (That was really weird) You had the option to get your 2% back in cash if paying by credit card.

I feel as though Job Lot is like on step above goodwill and thats because of the food but even that . It's like 9 out of 10 things you've never heard of. Don't even get me started on the cashier. That male/female was so annoying. I was in a hurry and one of the items did not have a price tag on it and I said forget about it and that person was like no I'm gonna look it up in the book hopefully doesn't take Me to Much time verbatim they said that. Then they go through the book as they're saying oh i hope you're not mad. They're on top of all that you had some scruffy looking employee that can even have a face mask on properly looked like a dirty diaper stuck to his face!

Sometimes there is a wait in line but the saving is worth it. They try hard to keep it clean and remind people nicely about personal space. This is a place you need to take your time in and you will find a lot of good deals.

I love to shop the deals at ocean state. You just need to know that these are products that are sold for a lot less and usually arrive in bulk orders. There are some regular things that are there each week but a lot of times these things come and go and are available for short amount of time.
