Where Ya Bin McAlester — Local services in McAlester

Fridays are rigged. Thought it would get better once corporate came down and got new management but as soon as they left its right back to the way it was on Fridays. They do not go by the store policy of handing out numbers and the same resellers go in and get all the good high end stuff.

Just be considerate and follow the rules. You need to be mindful that some or maybe most of the food items have either expired or are very near their expiration dates. I would find it easier to shop if they put all of the same items into one bin rather than scattering them throughout the store. I seem to look at the same thing multiple times, which can get annoying. Still a fun place to go and you can't...

Glad a store like this exists in McAlester now!

I do have some critiques;

SEPARATE FOOD ITEMS. Even a halfass attempt to do this could be a major improvement.

The expired food should be BOGO to help clear that stuff! it should also be sales tax exempt.

Lastly and least importantly, it seems a little weird that cash (U.S. Currency) is not accepted here. I understand it probably streamlines the business process in many ways, and it dosnt particularly affect me because I prefer to use card. But it still bothers me that U.S. currency is not accepted here, and it is not a...
