Big Lot Energy

A fake and pretend positive attitude one gets when in their workplace parking lot when coming to work. The person acts as though they are pumped, positive, and excited to be at work, when in reality they would rather be anywhere else.

“Jim pulled into the lot and got out of the car flaunting his Big Lot Energy as though he were happy to be there. But I know better, and know he would rather be eating out of a garbage can down a dark alley.”

Big Lot Energy

A fake and made up act of pretending to gain a powerful and positive attitude for the work day when entering the workplace from the parking lot. One will act as though they are exited and in an amazing mood for the work day, when in reality they regret being there and would rather be doing anything other than going into work.

“Jim was dreading coming into work the moment he pulled into work. But he made the decision to make it the best work day ever. So Jim summoned his Big Lot Energy and got fired up and ready to help his customers. Big Lot Energy allowed Jim to channel a positive attitude, get excited, and pumped for an amazing experience.”

The Big Lot 

The Trader Joe's parking lot located in Redondo Beach's Riviera Village. This lot is used for the drinking of alcoholic beverages, recreational drug use, and is host to the weekly Sunday "Metal Night" on indie 103.1 FM. The Big Lot is home to Dolphin Boy, The Jesus Guy, and is frequented by many of the colorful hobos living Redondo Beach. Casuals of the Lot include college students in their early twenties.

"Hey Chris, what you doing tonight after work?"
"Geez, I don't know..."
"Big Lot?"
"No. No, I seriously think I have a drinking problem."
"...Big Lot?"
"Fine. I'll meet you at The Big Lot."
