Ollies is a great place to shop if you have time to snoop around for the good deals. I mostly go their to buy coffee pods. They normally have a good selection at a great price. It is one product that you can count on them having every time you visit the store. It is a buy-out store, so I expect that the inventory will always be changing. The quality of the products can be low. However, it all depends upon what you're. looking for: they have a great selection of floor coverings, some of which can be name brands. Their selection of books is fantastic for not being a "book store." If you snoop around their food shelves, you can also find some great buys, and they often have brand-nomes. Their main downfall is the checkout process. Rarly do they have enough checkout lanes open. Also, because of the nature of the store, the price tags come off of their products , and you have to wait for the cashier to get a price check. Because it is a discount store, they keep the employee overhead down by having as few employees as possible. I get this. More than one time, this impatient old man set his stuff down and walked out. In my opinion, if Ollies could solve the checkout issue, it would improve the customer experience and word of mouth advertising. I am certainly not an expert in this industry, but I do shop at many discount stores in our area. I enjoy having a quick checkout process over most any other aspect of my...

Showed up at visionworks for an appointment, scheduled online, got an email confirmation even preregistered online gave my insurance information. I show up on time, only to be informed by the receptionist that they had just seen a 5:00 appointment and they wouldn't see me didn't give a reason just said we'll have to reschedule you and I said no I'm not rescheduling I just drove 45 minutes to get here and she proceeded then to tell me is this your phone number and write it back to me and I said yes she said we tried to call you and their phone number did not show up on my caller ID if there were no missed calls and there was no voicemail now if you want to make sure someone doesn't show up for an appointment and waste their time you leave a voicemail saying your appointment's been canceled or there was a mistake or we can't see you or something along those lines. This is unexcusable no reason for it it's just poor workmanship on behalf of their employees. If you schedule an appointment online make sure it's actually been scheduled and they...

Who can say enough about Ollie's? You find good stuff cheap here, then you find some other stuff, then you are able to make a key on your way out at the key making vending machine, then you find some outdated granola bars but get a great deal on them, and then you find Christmas gifts in July that you're going to put in the closet to give to your aunt. There's a lot of books. There's a whole aisle of just fishing supplies. There's an entire aisle of just paint. There's an entire section dedicated to random things. And somehow, I have found exactly when I've been looking for right there. Like the...
