Feel bad for the employees. Short notice right around Christmas.

What a terrible look, but I guess it doesn't matter, right?

You can furnish your entire apartment on a $1000 budget lol. It serves a purpose. Well, did.

Sure e-commerce is a big part of it - but it also feels like Big Lots fumbled the bag a bit, some niche that Kmart had abandoned
