Ocean State Job Lot in other cities:
Ive been going to this supermarket chain since I lived in connecticut, its like an upscale version of the discount store for a dollar store, but it has some great finds. This particular one is nice and clean, not crowded, and the staff who work I really friendly but to my New Yorkers habit they are very slow. This time I scored some wood toys, and coconut water at a fraction of the price.
Store is not esthetically pleasing. Kind of grungy and run down. But the staff are very much the opposite. Helpful and accommodating. The only issue I had was on my visit this time. People just were not obeying the signage to form the proper check out lines. Too many customers just cutting into the lines and getting way too close. The staff did try to direct....but some people just dont want to wait in line safely. Many interesting items at discount prices. In the past Ive purchased some great everyday sunglasses here. But it is a discount store. Some imperfections here and there. The great staff makes it worth coming in to a sad looking store.
Store is clean and staff is friendly. The stock of items can fluctuate greatly, so it is recommend to call ahead if you are looking for a specific item. Prices are great on all items and the selection ranges as much a walmart or a superstore, from outdoor tents and equipment, to personal care products like soaps and shampoo. Handicap accessible with plenty of parking.
I.Love.This.Store. I swing by here for last minute items, toiletries, cleaning supplies, pantry items, the list goes on. Also it was one of the places I came to when people were panic buying paper goods and masks. I cannot begin to tell you all the items that I have gotten here over the years, but some of my favorite include zip up hoodies, Adirondack chairs, sauces/cooking oils and the weirdest selection of wall art you could ever imagine. It makes me so happy when I walk out with bags full of great deals.
To the folks at job lot:Please accept my apology for a poor review that you did not deserve. My experience was badly tinged by another shopper who got herself involved in my business with your staff. Several more recent visit is have changed our opinion 180*.The staff are very pleasant, sometimes surprisingly so, a never ending often changed inventory of very reasonably priced often seasonal stock is there for us on on now monthly visits.Pricing is very reasonable. Thanks and please accept my apology.
I generally like the store but today i got hurt reaching for an item on the shelf cause they hold the merchandise in with small metal racks that totally scratched my arm deep so be careful when reaching for items. Could happen on lower shelves as well if your shorter should not have sharp objects holding merchandise in .
I have gone here several times but only because my mom likes to go, I dont think I would ever go by choice. I have found a couple of things there but other than that.... nothing. I understand that its like a buyout store so for what it is...it is a decent store but they do need more cashiers.
Whether or not this place is a bargain mecca depends on your standards. They are not expensive, but most of their merchandise is not of high quality. They do sometimes get brand name merchandise for less than you pay elsewhere but thats not the majority of stuff in the store. Their prices for electronic gadgets are higher than Amazon or eBay. Their prices for personal items like clothing and shampoo are lower than youll find in drug stores but higher than Walmart. The employees are mostly pleasant and helpful.
I recently moved up here and I went in this store a couple of times and at first it wasn’t as welcoming as I thought it would be, I went again on Saturday to buy some groceries and a worker by the name of Kathleen really helped me with everything I could ask for. She went the extra mile and even helped me in other departments. I feel like most workers should be as energetic, enthusiastic and informative as she was towards me. This totally changed the way I look at the store.
I really like this store. But agree with other comments about the 2% added on to an order. There are many people that are out of jobs, and when I checked out, I asked the cashier about the amount added on and she said it is only around $2 and seemed annoyed that I asked. That was not a professional response. I know people that have no work and why should they get more. If it was an option, the response should not have been that.
Youll often find lots of packaged grocery goods very cheap here. Larabars can often be found for approximately $0.50 - $1.00 per bar. Found some good cold brew coffee for $1 each. They also have clothes, toiletries, lawn furniture and accessories, as well as beauty supplies. You never know what deal you might find. Its always worth stopping by just to see, and stock up on relevant deals while they last.
Buy something good and feel good doing so.The products are all donations to be sold and distributed to fund this non for profit.That is why you cant expect the product you bought last time to still be there but the upside is that you can buy upscale and high end products that did not sell at high prices, for reasonable prices here.So go trolling through the aisles and see what you can catch in your net.
Visited earlier this week to purchase a featured sale item. This was the morning of the first day of the sale on the item.Item was not in stock. We were offered a rain check, however it took two people and ten minutes to get the rain check.Went back today and searched for the item.Then asked about it on checking out.Cashier asked manager who yelled across the store that the item was in, but was in a box in the back. When asked if we could have someone get one for us the manager yelled again a very abrupt, NO.Customer service, NOT.
I frequent Ocean State a lot. I will not until this pandemic is over. Maybe I wont even go back. My business has been closed for 3 months. I have nothing coming in but I still have to pay rent and utilities. You are charging me 2% extra to give to your employees while your customer is suffering! I commend you for giving them extra to work but take it out of your profits not my pocket!
I love shopping here but the customer should be asked if they want to support the 2% covid fee. You should not just add it on to the purchase this is a newly and deceitful. As I work in mefical, Im essential but I do not receive any extra pay for having to work front line.Feel like you are taking advantage of your customer in a very untrustworthy and deceitful way by not ASKING if they want to participate in the extra fee. You as a company took it upon yourself to just tack this fee on. I will be checking with a lawyer to see if this is leagl. Looks like steeling to me. ( adding extra fee without my consent)
I love Ocean State Job Lot, the place has everything you could want at amazing prices. However, this past weekend I noticed a manager at the front of the store by the registers speaking very rudely to some of the sales associates. He was speaking down upon them & the shoppers along with the other associates could all hear what he was saying. This is the second time I have witnessed this behavior by the same manager (has facial hair)One of the sales associates looked like she was about to cry. If a manager has something to say, it should be done privately. The associates in that store are always friendly when i go in. They work hard to keep the place clean and you can tell the place is understaffed which isnt the workers fault that the lines are always so long in there. The store has to hire more people but Im not sure how they would be able to keep anyone with that particular manager there either. Shame on him for speaking to these associates that way, hopefully he is addressed soon about it!
Management needs more training Management does not know how to treat their employers Just remembered the employees are the ones that keep Ocean State Job Lot going It’s not your managers. And Corporate should pay more attention they need a union to fight for employees just saying
I love this store but recently I was racially profiled in the fishkill location for a simple misunderstanding.. I had went to purchase some items ( Christmas boxes) stood in line for 20 mins because the lady at the register didn’t know what she was doing .. I begin to get frustrated and just wanted to get out the store I placed my items down on the counter and let the lady ring up my items I tried purchasing a gift card but the cashier didn’t know how to active it so I told her forget about it I’ll just get the Christmas boxes. I’m trying to complete my purchase the lady tells me to wait until the blue light appears to insert my chip and I did as told everything goes through.. the lady is about to hand me a recipt I said you can trash it .. I’m not going to return Christmas boxes and I left .. two days later a detective calls me about a declined purchase from the place .. they had pressed charges against me from I guess not buying the items I had to go in for questioning write a statement and everything for a simple mis understanding.. I’m pretty sure the stores has camera they seen me wait online for 20mins .. they seen me do the transaction instead of contacting me about a purchase they press charges on me and basically tried to jeopardize everything I have going on in my life over a mistake that the cashier caused because she doesn’t know how to work the register.. I am frustrated and it’s safe to say tht ocean state job lot has lost a customer

2022-06-12What a well put together store! Had no lighting issues so I was very happy. The assortment was different in the best way, lots of food options! I was happy to stop by and would definitely come back to this store again.

2022-02-10Diverse selection of products from clothes to food to automotive and even pet items. Youll likely find things here you wont see anywhere else. Kind of like an Aldi meets Dollar General Id say. Really good to reasonable prices. Saw a few expired food items so thats something to pay attention to. The registers are inefficient and can be painfully slow. Other than that an overall good store.

2022-05-16This franchise is absolute garbage in every way. If you actually care about quality, dont set foot in this building. Even the prices are not all that discounted. Buying trash for average or even higher-than-average cost – not a wise move.
