I had fond memories of TJ Maxx through the years however, management needs to do a better job of monitoring their employees. Upon entering the store I had decided to browse through the handbag section where I discovered two younger hispanic employees goofing around. As they would not get out of the way so that I could look at items, I decided to move into another isle. Several minutes later, that same young lady presenting with an attitude was hiding in between the purse area, I dunno...maybe to get out of working, regardless, as I tried to go down the isle, she passive aggressively, refused to get out of the way, standing in the middle of the isle and then turning her back to me as I entered the isle. I courteously scurried through the isle. However, her unprofessionalism and lack of values were on full display on 03/19/2021 at roughly 6:50 p.m., when she was called to the front by management to clean up an isle spill made by other customers. She came barging through the line where I stood next to my 80 year old father and children and without saying excuse me or anything began cursing under her breathe, turned her back to my elderly father and intentionally brushed dirt, debris and such onto my father so that the particles were thrown onto his sneakers, pants, etc. I was absolutely shocked. First that she thought it was okay to curse in front of customers and secondly that she would sweep soot onto a senior citizen in front of other customers without even saying excuse, pardon, etc. Her behavior was blatently intentional and it was obvious that the immature young lady Ashley was angry that she had to work like the rest of the world.
I then asked for the manager and the young blonde sales clerk kept pretending that she didn't understand what I was requesting as she appeared to want to protect Ashely. Thus, I approached a floor coordinator asking for the manager on duty. I was greeted by a very attracting manager who assured me she would take care of it and apologized. After hearing from her that the behavior was unacceptable, she stated that she would speak to "her". I then inquired if she would like to at minimum know the employees name as it was obvious that she was attempting to blow me off. I described the employee who had been standing by the front door doing nothing for over 20 minutes upon my entry and detailed her green shirt to which she responded she did ot have such an employee. I then had to instruct the manager to approach her staff who observed me identify the young lady to them so that she would have her name and could actually do her job. I guess that's what happens when you hire managers who do not have the spine to supervise, counsel or monitor floor activity. Before you know it you'll be having a theft problem too as the individuals you are hiring have no concept of professionalism, manners or decency. Shame. read more
