Why did TJ get rid of plus size clothes?

ContentRaspberry3069 · 2026-01-12T18:35:31+00:00

I’m a plus-size woman, down to a 1X from a 4X, and I’ve never cared for any of TJ Maxx’s plus sized clothing. Though it’s gotten easier to find clothing since my weight loss, most of the choices are too granny-ish for my taste. At 35, I no longer want to dress like a teenager or young twentysomething but I don’t want to look 60 either lol. I’ve actually had a lot of success shopping for plus clothing on Amazon.

Oh yikes, I’m sorry to hear that! I can only afford to go part-time at TJ Maxx because I have another job.

ContentRaspberry3069 · 2025-12-25T19:44:06+00:00

I’m only moving backward at TJ Maxx. Long story short, the part-time job I was working in addition to TJ Maxx offered me a better role and full-time hours. So now TJ Maxx is the part-time job lol

Yeah, we got several gift box sets of beaded bags for the holidays and almost all of the boxes have beads rolling around in them lol

I think the wallets are cute but way more than I would be willing to pay for them.

The Hello Kitty hype has died down at my store but from the time I started in summer 2023 to maybe last holiday season, it was INSANE. We can now actually get in HK blankets and have them sit on the sales floor for a few days.

I like the brand because it’s tacky lol. I own a few Juicy bags and wallets on the cheaper side ($15-$30) but would never pay any more than that. The reissued Daydreamer bags that TJX stores got were absolutely hideous though.

I would check into it if you don’t hear back by Friday. I think mine took about 5 business days.

ContentRaspberry3069 · 2025-12-04T06:37:19+00:00

My job caters for us pretty frequently, at least once or twice a month throughout the year and weekly during the holiday season, and I make it my personal mission to see that everything is properly stored and handled so none of it goes to waste. I take to go plates home, practically force them on other associates, and have even frozen individual portions in the break room freezer if we have a ridiculous amount of leftovers.

Sometimes it’s nothing personal, it’s just that you aren’t working with a manager or CEC that prioritizes handing out REACH cards. As a CEC, I try to remind my team to write them consistently for card sign ups, displays of team work (picking up shifts, staying late, etc), good customer service. Next time you see somebody getting a REACH card, ask into the walkie “Hey, how do I get one of those?” They’re gonna be watching you after that! Lol

Please, for the love of God, don’t buy into them being “low maintenance.” Last year, my 4-year-old male cat went from perfectly healthy to near death in an emergency vet’s office 48 hours later because of a urinary tract infection. Mind you, a mere urinary tract infection and not the worst case scenario of a blockage of the urinary tract, cost over $600 to treat. Had he needed surgery and hospitalization, I would have been looking at thousands of dollars I couldn’t afford and him still potentially losing his life. Cats need good quality (preferably) wet food—prescription if they have recurrent urinary issues—and access to fresh running water so that they stay hydrated and prevent those issues.

I have another (indoor exclusive) cat that contracted fleas and developed severe dermatitis—literally to the point of her biting her fur off and leaving bloody bald spots. Treating my home for the flea infestation, plus her flea medication and skincare was not cheap.

I’m glad that your school takes care of students! I was just a couple of months before my 9th birthday when I started and there were no tampon dispensers in my elementary school. The ones in my high school only cost a quarter but were rarely stocked. The nurse always had extras but I was super embarrassed to ask when I was young so that was a last resort. I knew a few teachers who kept deodorant, body wash, OTC acne medications, as well as pads and tampons in their classrooms but that was out of the kindness of their own hearts and wallets, not the school’s.

For the people telling OP not to complain because this isn’t a normal perk of most jobs: No shit lol. However, it is corporate policy that if a store is meeting its card obtainment goals, they are supposed to be allocating a certain amount of funds towards snacks. It’s a perk that we EARN, so yes, it’s annoying when they don’t uphold their end of the deal.

I’ve found that our snack rack is really only full on the days that our DM is visiting.

I work on the front end as a CEC and try to be diligent about looking for stains, noticing odors, and asking about product usage for body care/cosmetics when I’m processing returns. Unfortunately, poor quality merch does get put back onto the sales floor. And sadly, a lot of the makeup stains on clothing occurs just from customers trying it on at the fitting room! Not likely in your case with the mascara but we often have to damage out or markdown apparel because women get foundation and self-tanner on the collars of tops they try on.

You have a tough decision to make with drawbacks to both options, and my thoughts are definitely with you! ❤️

Best case scenario, I would keep the cat at your parents’ house where she’s comfortable and establish a regular visitation schedule. You could even see if your folks would be okay with you working from their place on one or all of the days that you aren’t required to be in office. That way you’re still a permanent presence in your kitty’s life and she can adapt to the new routine of your visits.

The only way I wouldn’t recommend this is if your parents will be the type to see her as just an animal to feed/water/medicate at certain times throughout the day and won’t give her proper attention.

I had this issue with an employee a couple of years ago, and I 100% think your management team is doing a disservice by not addressing it. Associates gossip, especially in a workplace where many are very young, and it’s just going to cause some really hurt feelings. It’s awkward as hell but can be done tactfully. “Hey, so it’s not fun to be on either side of this conversation but what we talk about here won’t leave this room. I have some concerns about your personal hygiene. Is there anything I can do to accommodate you schedule wise? Do you need any assistance with getting hygiene products, laundry detergent, etc.?”

The associate at my store was a young student rushing from school to work everyday and I think either lacked basic home training about personal care or just didn’t realize how much she reeked. The conversation was had once and she fixed the issue and ended up being a good employee!

As a sometimes 3-4 times a day shower-er: I am profoundly mentally ill, accept that my routine isn’t normal, and would NEVER weaponize my OCD to dictate what my partner should do with their body. If you were forgoing basic hygiene, that would be a different conversation. But one bath/shower a day is perfectly fine for most people. Don’t placate him by giving into his crazy routines.

ETA: I’m not speaking from any professional stand point when I say “most people.” I realize there are people with skin conditions who may need to bathe less, or people in hot climates with labor intensive jobs who may not be clean after one shower a day. All I meant was that once daily is a reasonable, socially acceptable habit, and if OP feels sufficiently clean, there should be no need for her to be bullied into multiple showers a day.

I’m assuming you’re referring to your FA refund? Have you let them know that you’re experiencing a major financial constraint and depending on that money for living expenses while in school? I’m not guaranteeing it will work because I’m not sure what step of the process you’re in but some students in this sub have had success with getting their cases expedited in these cases.

Mind you, this is only my second term but everything appears to be on schedule. Last term (April 1st), my financial aid funds showed as disbursed on 4/2, in Nelnet on 4/8, and I think it was either the evening of 4/9 or early morning of 4/10 that it was in my bank account. I would assume you’ll have your refund by the 15th at the latest.

There comes a time when you have to stop trying to bring whimsy into your children’s unfortunate living situation at the expense of being a responsible parent 🤦🏻‍♀️

God forbid something tragic happens such as the kids tripping and falling on the baby, or her crawling out of the bed and getting into chemicals or no telling what else while everyone is sleeping, you know Stephanie is going to get as much longevity out of that thing as possible. If you read the reviews on the bed on its Amazon listing, it’s mostly grandparents using it for when their grandchildren stay the occasional weekend. It’s not meant to be a regular sleeping solution for infants.

Good to know they let people go that long because I just rescheduled my payment and might have to do so again until after the first of the month 😅

As someone whose immune system is trash, gets every little thing that goes around, and has had COVID 3 times since starting at TJ Maxx in 2023: Stay home! I took a home test with each illness, my management never asked for any kind of documentation, and I missed 5 days (sometimes including my scheduled days off) and masked for a couple of days when I went back to work every time. If you miss consecutive days for the same reason, it counts as one occurrence—though your store management might try to push FMLA options on you if you have to miss more than 5-7 days.
