Tj Maxx - Plenty of parking. Remember shopping centers, back before malls?

I have been to this branch of the chain a few times and have no complaints. The last time I was…read morethere about a week ago they were limiting the number of people in the store. Someone outside was joking about possible reasons they were doing it, but I assume it is the recent surge in Covid. At least I think he was joking. Because of the success of vaccines and Paxlovid in slowing down the spread and reducing its impacts, I think some people believe Covid is finished rather than that it is now like flu strains. Anyway, the wait outside the store was short. I tend to shop more closely in the Home Goods section rather then in the clothing, unless there is something in particular I am looking for. They sometimes have surprising items for sale, such as the time we found our brand of decaf coffee at a great price. The variety of decaf available at warehouse stores can be pretty limited, but if you have a Kurig you are made in the shade. They must sell a lot more of it and make more profit. So i don't shop at TJ Maxx regularly but I like stopping in occasionally to see what they have at that particular moment. It helps me miss Zayre's less from when I went to the Broadway Shopping Center decades ago now.

Tj Maxx - Ah, holiday crowds. The checkout line snaked around a curve and on and on.

JCPenney - Up to 5% off when you use your JCPenney credit card. The rate never even changes when you spend more. Why would they bother printing this?

Store is not clean, the staff are more interested in talking worth each other than helping or…read moreorganizing and the management is suspect at best. Ordered (prepaid) in something out of stock, it arrived to the store and was the sold to someone else. Double sale. The prepaid special order section is separate from the rest, item,s arrived bagged/tagged and hold for the purchaser. How this happened is beyond mine. The manager of the section said oops well it is gone now. I can order another, be into the store in 4-5 weeks. I drove a 3 hour round trip to pick this up. Needless to say, it was frustrating and I make no special trips or attempts to shop here an longer due to this and how many times you have to circle the store to find someone to help with the floor stock.

My partner and I go to the Bangor Mall sometimes, not just to gawk at which storefronts have just…read moreclosed, but sometimes because we actually need clothes and for some reason we think that there's a retail establishment in Bangor that carries clothing that is appropriate for someone under 60 and actually fits us. Wild, right? The clothing carried at JCPenney seems more like something my grandmother would wear- shorts with a 9 inch inseam, dresses that look like giant bags, and lots of T-shirts with patriotic and otherwise vapid slogans that someone's older relatives might wear on vacation in Cancun or more likely when dropping a bundle at the casino downtown. Nevertheless, we generally go on a pass through here to see if there is anything that could possibly work for us, because pickings in Bangor are SLIM. Last night, we came through (I swear we were the only customers in the store!) and were greeted by a blonde woman at one of the desks as we were walking by. She asked us if we needed help (we let her know kindly that we didn't), but then, as we were already walking away, she started shouting at us asking if we had signed up for a JCPenney card. And she wouldn't take no for an answer! We both remarked to each other when we were out of earshot what a creepy interaction that had been. We rounded the store and for some reason (I don't know why) started checking out bras to see if there was anything that would fit me. In my band size, there was nothing smaller than a D cup (I'm an A), and a lot of the underwear looked again like something that your grand- or great-grandparents would wear. I am so tired of not being able to get women's shoes that fit me, or bras that fit me, or jeans that fit me at businesses in town. I am so tired of being told (as I have by associates here in the past) that I can "order it on JCPenney dot com" because apparently my sizing is too out-there to carry in stores. If I'm coming into a store, I want to buy some clothes and wear them today. I want to feel how the quality is and see how they fit my body. If I am going to order clothes online, I'm not going to get them from JCPenney dot com- I'm going to get them on Amazon. The products that JCPenney carries tell me that they don't think that people like me or my partner should exist. Why should we give them our money? I'm just waiting at this point to see whether JCPenney or the Bangor Mall folds first. It's like this store doesn't even want to stay in business.
