I was deeply disappointed at what I saw and experienced at the Sheffield Store. I came from out of state (visiting from South Carolina 8 hours away), after hearing the spin online and with Facebook that it was such a great place to shop at.
I spent hours sifting through items that have been torn out of their packaging and separated from their other components, and it is painstakingly slow to sort through the long tables piled deep, that slows it down even further.
I found mostly junk items, and few items of any real value, and it took me nearly 3 hours to accomplish what I found. Then, when 2 pm arrived, I was told that unless I paid immediately for what I had collected so far (I was only halfway through what was there), I could not retain that and to continue shopping when the price dropped to $.50 per item.
I did not know this, and since I am a disabled Veteran, I had a very limited amount of money to actually spend. It was hard enough to spend nearly 3 hours standing and trying to endure my search for what few items I had found!
The manager that day (It was 2 days before Christmas) began to berate us for not buying what we had found, and that we were "stealing," and a steady tirade of shaming from him commenced.
He doubled down on that by going outside, and started castigating the people lined up there about stealing merchandise, saying, "I know who you are!" Most had just abandoned their shopping carts inside, they were upset also!
I was told the store would be cleared of people, and and then deliberately put all the items collected back in tables, not unlike shuffling a deck of cards. I asked politely for grace on this matter because of my already pained body from standing so long, but that fell on deaf ears also.
It was disgusting, degrading and humiliating, and incomprehensible in my understanding, that when reaching 2 PM made me "a thief" because I was not done shopping yet, and beyond my imagination. But nothing was posted that stated these rules clearly, I was clueless. And my fiancé who lives nearby, was equally clueless on these rules.
When I go out to eat, I have never been chased out of a restaurant because "Happy Hour" arrived, and that I had to pay my bill up to that moment and depart, only to be seated again inside to get the discount on food items!
Myself and my fiancé will never darken the door of Jack's ever again, there is never an excuse for that kind of behavior for such lowball quality items, which would be sold by the pound at Goodwill, and typically costs about $10 for a cartload of items gleaned out the piles there.
The polar opposite of professionalism, Southern Hospitality, and GOOD manners were 3 items that we never experienced that day. I can only pray the executive management will take note of this, and...
Read moreThis great store is a lot of fun and you just have to manage your expectations. You are taking a chance to buy returns with a small dollar value. We LOVE this store and when we visit the area, we go. Here are some tips. First: FOOD PRODUCTS HERE ARE NOT EXPIRED. Disregard the posters who say this. There's a difference between "Expired" (meds) and "Best Before" dates or "Guaranteed Freshness" date. We've bought 18lbs of whole bean coffee which had a best before date from Nov 2024 and it's fresh and delicious. They're dry roasted, vacuum sealed coffee beans. We also just bought a couple of boxes of 40 pack Sun Chips and they were awesome (great for the break room). Second: Friday is the day to go. The items are freshly stocked and there are some great deals. They restock again at 2pm. So, this is the time to go. The prices get lower each subsequent day. Here's what we have picked up: $5 - - $55 unopened Estee Lauder night serum $2-3 - - $45 Otter Box iPhone cases for 12 Pro, 13 Pro, and 13 Pro Max $2 - - Case of Pellegrino sparkling water. $2 - - $20 Zagg InvisiShield iPhone screen protectors. $2-3 - - $35 PopSocket MagSafe Pop Grips.
So, so much fun and it's a great way to get some deals on things you would normally buy but for less while you help offset the product waste through Amazon returns. Totally recommended!! Stock up...
Read moreI have only visited this Jack's Dollar deals one time. It was okay but I do have a complaint that it was very messy and unorganized. I understand the concept is to get stuff cheap and I love that concept however you should be able to actually find something in all of the mess that was there before you can get a bargain or deal. So might take on this it's an absolute genius idea because people love this type of stuff, I love this type of stuff, I love deals,I love bargains, I love saving money, just clean it up some make it so people can find something or see something that they might actually want without having to dig through hundreds of items to find nothing that they want...
