Dirt Cheap — Local services in Columbia

Well what can I say about dirt cheap in Columbia....honestly nothing to bad or at least not as far as the employees are concerned. I would like to see a larger store but I do understand it's not a very large town which is why I only gave it four stars instead of five. The cashier's and the guys who help load things and take care of the store are all an example of what good employee's should be. I'm not sure how many assistant managers there are but two that I've met have both been very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Robert has been very helpful to me and there is a bright bubbly cashier who is a shining star with her attitude, organizational techniques, and math skills and just an all around very sweet young lady. As well she talks about her dad which is a great quality to hear from a young person. The store is always just as neat and orderly as any other dirt cheap is and as I've said before I don't mind the clutter or messiness one bit and I have spent a couple of thousand dollars spread over six different locations in the past couple of months. The most recent issue I had was with the store manager opening a box I had taped up for transport to see if I had hid anything extra in the box. I was quite shocked by this but was told it's policy at all the locations. I accepted this but couldn't recall this happening anywhere else so I purposely bought several open items at other locations to see if the procedure was in fact a company policy. I haven't had a package gone through since and after inquiring about the policy I was told at 6 other locations that there wasn't a policy in place to search open boxes, especially since most of the items had been opened and the time involved searching every box would add to much time at the checkout. I was told if someone was suspected of stealing then a search would be performed which I guess is why my items were gone through. Since then I haven't been back to...

Terrible customer service. Asked for the price of something. Waited for over 10 minutes on a lady who said she would send someone to help me. Then I walk up to the front of the store and asked someone else for help. She looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. Then I walked back to the back of the store and found another worker. I asked him for the price. He said ok. But he continued to unload his pallet and mark prices on the merchandise. After another 10 minutes or longer of waiting on him to finish, he finally comes...

Be careful, you will spend all your money in here 🤣 it a yard salers dream come true. May be a trigger for a hoarder, perfect for some one who likes to buy stuff they dont need just because it's so cheap. One of the best deals I got there was a nice above ground pool there for $125. Been using it for 3 years now. Oh also a $600 baby stroller for $70. You gotta know your product and prices though cause sometimes it's a ripoff. They were trying to sell a pair of GAP yoga pants for $30. No thanks, I thought this...
