It's TJ Maxx. You want it, and it fits, buy it.

Most items are less expensive than other locations, but some are from stores that even with the discount, are more expensive. Socks here are a good value vs other locations, but furniture is more expensive. Furniture is unique and cute if you want it for show.

Shoes, purses, clothes, etc keep an eye out for a bargin. Same with standard housewares. Pet supplies are also cute.

There is jewelry, taste changes seasonally, and there is a discount section for those items that don't sell well.

Food is also unique and mixed; not only in price, but culture. Don't be afaird to try new foods. There is always chips, candy, dried fruit, salaas, sauces, and chocolates.

Public bathrooms are small and clean. Parking in free. Bags are plastic free or others you can buy more sturdy from 99 cents to 45 dollars for the most of expensive backpack seen.

Staff has headsets, with knowledge on how to use, to answer questions in all departments.

At this time, social distancing is encouraged. There is a queueing arrangement, with last minute goods on all sides, and they have shields at the registers.

Carts were cleaned, where you can see, and if you see someone cleaning, they also are on headsets

There is always a manager on duty. Exchanges and store credit are easy with receipt of purchase or gift receipt.

Some marked down / clearance items are "as is" and can not be returned. Ask before purchasing, if unsure, or giving as a gift. Gift receipts can be had all year round. They do also have a store card where you can gain points in some manner, it changes from time to time.

The only cart return is within the store. There is a ramp to the left and right of the store, if needed, or a staff person can be authorized to help you out with your items, especially in bigger or heavier items or in bad weather.

There is a whole lot of people (management,corporate,cashiers )whom should truly be ashamed of themselves. You have managers who shouldn’t be managing anyone period . I’ve never seen a tjmaxx so gross, disorganized and the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Experiencing what I experienced most definitely makes me appreciate the Terre Haute,In location so much . I was stunned by how the employees had no clue and the manager whom I honestly thought was a customer . No names badges on almost all I come across and by their appearance makes me wonder what kind of dress code is required?! Managers Smdh . U are supposed to lead by example. No wonder the store and employees look and conduct themselves the way they did. If u walk around looking homeless and like a bum they are going to think it is ok. It’s not . And let’s not forget the lady who decided to eat behind the register instead of helping customers . A all around joke . Product on the floor , things literally everywhere . 80%of shelf’s were completely empty. Avoid this place like it’s Covid . Just save urself the headache and the time ur going waste and just go to Homegoods...

Only cons of this TJ Maxx is the customer service. Not enough cashiers for a busy weekend day. The line was very long and one cashier was trying to do a price check and none of the fellow cashiers would help her out.

There were plenty of other employees who were stocking shelves and wasting time who could’ve helped during the long lines but no they only had 3 cashiers and about 10/12 total employees in the store

Other than that the store was clean and well stocked for the most part. Not so much in the...
