Ollie's Bargain Outlet — Local services in Columbia

They have quite a bit of stock at this location. Too bad they don't have more of what I look for in that stock! I'm sure I'll be back. And I must say I'd like to see a bit more room in the aisles, too. There is a little too much stock in some areas, and as such, it tends to spill over into the already small aisles. And there's not a lot of organization in most areas. Granted, most of that could very well be that customers are looking at things and just putting them back anywhere when they've finished. Although it really isn't difficult to put things back where we found them, kindergarten teaches that, even if it isn't learned at home!! I've been in retail, and know firsthand how frustrating it is when people do that and mess up your work. Makes you not care about the store's looks and stocking/fronting shelves anymore. But I digress. Bottom line, this is an alright store, not great, but not the worst either. Would be better if people weren't so people-y, but can't fault the store for the way people act. I will shop at this location again, especially when I have time to really look and "dig" around to find...

Alot of items to choose from. Prices are good on certain items. Wow this store looks amazing! 1st time in a long time everything looks like it's up on shelves and not laying around in boxes in the Aisles, there are currently having a sale, and seem to be we ll staffed! So good job corporate!! I enjoyed myself for the 1st time at this location. Normally this location is short staffed, clutter everywhere, everything I'm looking for has always been in boxes sitting on the ground not being stocked up on the shelves. You would've had a 5 star rating if you had staff greet guests or atleast recognize them as they were shopping. I walked past multiple staff members without one asking me if I needed help finding anything, I was standing near her, in her line of sight, we even locked eyes as I was standing around looking confused. But I just did what most guys do...try to find it ourselves!! Hehe. But it would have been nice if when we locked eyes she offered her assistance. That would've given you...

We wanted to get this one rug, after rolling it up we saw it had a slice/hole in it. We thought maybe they'll take a small portion off the price cause of that. The girl at the register said to the lady at the next "hey there's a hole on this rug."The other lady, with attitude said quickly "okay" in a tone like so? What do I care? She then asked if we'd be able to get something off of it. She snapped back "nope". We weren't asking it for free. Just maybe knock a little off. We were gonna just get it anyways but after her snippy attitude we decided to not get it and just left it there for her to take back or her to boss someone else...
