Re: Big Lots already in Spring mode?

Christmas is over, spring is the next big season. Valentine's, St Patrick's and Easter are pre spring.

She said they had Valentine and St. Patrick's merchandise out. What other seasonal merchandise would you like to see?

Re: Big Lots already in Spring mode?

Well, when the o/p owns a store, she can run it as she sees fit. Let's see just how successful it would be.{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}

Until then, the head honchos at corporate decide what is put out on the shelf and when.

The world does not revolve around what the o/p wants.

Sorry if that shocking fact upsets her, but that's just the way retail is.

If she doesn't like it, then, as I said, she can open her own retail shop, and run it exactly the way she likes. Until then, deal with it.

I think valentines have been put out on Christmas Eve for a long long time. Seed catalogs have already been in the mail. Op if you think the cashier and manager don't get a laugh over your complaint you've never worked in a store. I'm ready for Reese s Easter eggs and I'm sure there out somewhere I think people plant their tomato seeds indoor now so they need that potting soil

I'm sure that not only did they get a huge belly laugh out of it, that afterwards, they just crumpled it up and threw it away in the garbage.

Give it a few weeks...maybe they'll bring out Christmas merchandise. LOL

I was in our Big Lots yesterday and they still had some Christmas items on sale!

I enjoyed browsing the Spring items, didn't have enough Valentine's things, but had some nice Easter items!

It's fine with me. Not everyone lives where the winters are bitter cold.

Re: Big Lots already in Spring mode?

Stores are usually always about 2 or 3 months ahead of the season.
