I have been a loyal customer of TJMaxx for the past 34 years. It's one of my favorite places for shopping in general. It's a nice place to find "fun stuff."
This been said, I have been noticing a very scarce selection of women plus apparel for a while, both at Tjmaxx, as well as in Marshalls for quite a while. On my most recent shopping experience, December 14th 2020, while Christmas shopping at this TJmaxx Store 593, I was, once again, very disappointed.
I found out that there was not a section, whatsoever, for Women Plus Sizes. There wasn't even a sign for said section! (It has been taken down for a while). My interpretation of it has been that, women who aren't "fit", whom perhaps have a few extra pounds, aren't welcome to shop at TJmaxx? I asked for support in finding some apparel in said category.
The Manager on duty explained not having Plus Size selection at all (please, notice, on December 15!) and not knowing why. "I am the Manager, but I am just filling in, this isn't my store...In been fair, I must say that this lady Manager, was very supportive. She did put a great deal of effort into, unsuccessfully, trying to help me find some Plus Size apparels around the store. Zero. None. When I expressed my disappointment about the circumstances, she volunteered to have a manager from this store 593, call me back.
"Nixza", whom identified herself over the phone as been the manager, contacted me a couple of days after. She offered me the following explanation; "We have a limited selection, We no longer have a Women Plus Size section." "We get some selections coming in sometimes. But we don't have a specific section for it. They can be found on racks by sizes when we get them." She reffered to the latest 'situation' (Covi19?). "Is this the reason why the "Women Plus" sign has been taken down, now for a while? I asked. She reaffirmed that "Yes. We follow direccions...", So what I should do is contact Corporate in this regard? I asked. She agreed. I did call l Corporate . It got me as far as getting recorded messages. I left a mess with my phone number, asking for a return call.
Then I walked forward "Ross" and "Dressed for Less" just a few feet, literally, from Tjmax 593. After all, the quality of the apparel is comparable, nowadays. And Ross, seems to be welcoming us with open hearts. Great women plus sizes selection! The holidays gift selection at Ross was great also. I spent less than $20 at TJmaxx. Over $100 at Ross. Thanks Yelp, for allowing me this opportunity to share. read more
