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.

My tie-dye dress I bought seven years ago when I stumbled into the store with my wheelchair has…read morebeen worn every single summer for more than 20 days per summer. It's my most comfortable garment and has been washed after every used with no signs of falling apart. I love it and I'm always complimented when I wear it. Despite the compliments, it's soft stretching cotton, and it keeps me real comfortable. No longer live in Maine, I'm in Massachusetts, but I love the opportunity to buy online with assurance, knowing that I would love whatever I choose.

I am a big fan of Mexicali Blues and have enjoyed visiting several of their locations. Today I was…read morein the Bangor store conveniently located on Bangor Alley close to others shops, restaurants, and children museum. Decorated nicely on the outside and colors and textures galore inside. I viewed their shop on line and found a pair of pants that look like a dress purchased from them last year. So that was my target. The other thing I needed was a top to match the navy blue with periwinkle feather pattern on them. The navy is a deep color and hard to match. I finally gave in and asked assistance. The woman was around my age and knowledgeable about what pants I was referring too. She walked through the store with me looking for possible options. I found a nice tank combined with a navy blue shawl type piece that when together give you the color I was looking for. No time to try items on so off we went before I spent any more money. In for one thing and walked about with 4! Got a cut Bee tank for my sister too. Even if you aren't in the place to shop, just walking around their stores in interesting and the staff are happy to help.

Only Hot Topic I've ever been to, but I must say I am extremely impressed. I'm an 80's lover so…read morethis is a good store for me. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. They always are asking if they can help you and if they don't ask when you do need help, just ask them and they always seem delighted to help. I've been in this store multiple times and I can assure you you'll have a good Hot Topic experience in this particular store.

Awful. Awful. Awful. This staff - particularly those in management - need to reassess what good…read morecustomer service is. Historically, I haven't had a problem there. In fact, up until recently, the staff has always been kind and helpful. Now, all they do is sit at the cash registers and talk instead of service the customers in their store. Mind you, half the time their "talking" is really making fun of customers in the store. There have been several reports of associates (and believe it or not- managers) being rude to customers. Hot Topic used to be an accepting place where anybody could feel welcome. In recent times, however, they have been caught profiling on a frequent basis (ex: being nice to a customer with piercings and dyed hair, being openly rude to somebody wearing pink, etc.) They have been caught by multiple people calling customers names. The manager, Jeff, is the worst of all. His employees clearly follow his lead. As somebody who works in retail and uses customer service practices everyday, I found this business appalling. Also, as somebody who used to shop frequently at Hot Topic, I am very disappointed that I will no longer be shopping there due to their unbearably rude staff. I will be saving my Hot Topic trips for when I visit the Maine Mall, or I will be shopping online... if anything at all. I feel like a company who would put such rude, incompetent, and unfriendly people in management is not the type of company I would like to be giving my money to. In recent years, I have had several friends and acquaintances who have also ceased shopping at the Bangor Mall Hot Topic for the same reasons. Such a shame. In this economy, especially in such a small area in the middle of Maine, nobody can afford to lose valuable customers.

Staff is great here. I'm a guy and wasn't quite sure of some measurements. The salesperson took…read moretime to explain to me and took me to the pinch pleat curtain section.
