Five Below — Local services in Lincoln

I love the merchandise. However, be warned. This location seems to be a hot spot for the entitled Karens of Lincoln. Everytime I'm in there, there's always one having a meltdown. The last time was so bad I waited a full year before going back. Today a crazed women stalked me around the store. She was giving me judgemental dirty looks for no apparent reason. She followed me like a hawk through three aisles and then harassed me because a pair of pajama pants, a section over from me randomly fell off the rack. She cornered me and was shrieking about "how I made it fall and I'm basically a bad lazy person that was just going to walk away." Even though it wasn't my problem, I was actually going to pick them up (and purchase them) but she was acting so erratic that I just fled to a Karen free zone. Her grandchildren went on to have full blown meltdowns that were so loud my friend literally got a migraine. Several employees witnessed this and did absolutely nothing. It wasn't just kids being kids. These elementary aged children were screaming to the point they could be heard from the parking lot. After finally getting away from that nightmare I made it to self checkout where an employee couldn't have been ruder to us. I assumed the giant ten foot wide gap that led into self check out was the entry. Apparently I was wrong, you now have to weave through a maze of aisles from the opposite side to get to the self check out section. Instead of just being like oh hey sorry, common mistake , the line actually starts over there she starts shrieking "YOU'RE REALLY JUST GONNA CUT ALLLLL THESE PEOPLE???????? WOWWWWWWW REALLY??????" There was ONE person hidden around the corner and she was so horrified that she offered to let me go in front of her. I declined, but it was still a nice gesture. Then the employee passively aggressively rang up our items even though we were in SELF checkout. It felt like an insinuation that we were trying to steal from the store. The whole thing just felt off. She was also rambling incoherently....something about "THIS IS WHAT I DOOOOOOO!!!!!!" I honestly don't even know what she was talking about. It was just all around embarrassing behavior. I would never dream of going to a store and just harassing strangers and screaming at them. I'm sorry for giving your store a bunch of business and apparently using witchcraft to make things magically fly off the shelves? I'm also sorry I didn't pick up the item in 0.2 seconds to spare myself the wrath of the clothing section's resident hag? My bad. I accidentally go the wrong way into self check out and I'm treated like a criminal. However, it's okay to have crazy people harassing your customers and having children old enough to know better wailing like literal banshees? I probably would have spent more if your out of control customers and rude staff didn't make the experience...

I love Five Below. They have some really amazing things that you will find. Every time I go I find something different, but I always am happy with that I stopped in & looked around. They have an interesting assortment of books for the whole family. You can always find a fun craft project to work on or a bunch of odds & ends. I have always found a great selection of toy figure's for kids that are name brand & well recognized like SpongeBob, Avengers, Hello Kitty, Mário Bros., etc. They had a huge selection of headphones, earbuds, phone cases & many other...

The name of the store suggests that everything is under $5 . This is not true . It used to be . Now things are $1.25 , $5.55 , and even a wireless speaker for $25 ! While the store does have some unique items , and it's hard to leave without buying something , just check the pricing before going to the checkout or you may be in for a surprise . The store is not like it used to be (neither is Dollar Tree). The store was well stocked and organized , but most of the books for sale were not priced at all . Plenty of parking is available as well as...
