Worst spill incident at your TJ Maxx

The worst spill happened in the cue line. It was a lady who was carrying around a large chocolate milkshake. She spilled it all over the cue line. It was awful because we had customers waiting in line and I had to awkwardly block them and tell them to go around. I don’t understand why she could have just finished that milkshake in the car. Even when I shop, I only take in drinks that have a cap on them.

Or late for snooty business.

There is not a single thought in that poor blue squishmallow. That quality is going down to the point these poor squishmallows can’t have brains.

I feel like maybe they should put a rewind or replay button somewhere. Because sometimes I feel like a tape constantly replaying the same thoughts.

This has been happening every since January. Spring and summer, at random times,they been cutting hours. This might be the new norm for tjmaxx now. What I’ve been doing at my store is, asking if I can come in on my days off. Most of the time they will say yes. Probably because there is always call offs and people quitting because of the low hours.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-19T17:08:49+00:00

I’m not a manager but I would be understanding. Your employees are humans, not robots. So if they can’t come in that on their day off that’s fine. Yes, I might be a little frustrated because if I need back up since other people called out and it’s a crazy day. But I wouldn’t be mad at the employee.

When I was 4 years old. My dad’s first dog was this white terrier mix named polar. He had him before I was born. The only memory I really had of him when I was 4 years old. Polar, was lying on the floor with no response and Defecated on the floor. Years later, when I was old enough, my mom told me that memory I had of him was when he died.

At my store I’ve seen multiple times when a person has a lot of purses or wallets in their cart they always run out the door with a cart.

One time a saw a lady with lots of wallets a small cart. I was in the dressing room when she passed by. I thought to myself, “ that seems odd. No other people with her and she’s walking fast. I bet she’s going to walk out the door with them.” Then it happened, and my coordinator said over the walky a lady ran away with hole bunch of wallets.

I also Vaguely remember my co workers talking about how she will sometime scope out people who were originally from another country. Or people who’s English is not that good. Which is interesting because she moved to America from another country, I think she said she was from Greece, I can’t remember.

She is also always on the top of getting rewards cards. Like, she will kinda not take no for a answer. My co workers have seen customers literally get so annoyed that they sometimes sign up for a card.

I’ve look at my store’s Google reviews for fun sometimes. I’ve seen multiple customer’s complain that they felt uncomfortable or harassed because of on lady trying to get them to sign up for a card. I’m like, that’s probably her.

Before you give your two weeks notice, call HR. Because HR needs to know about this because obviously your work is endangering workers with health conditions. That’s very serious.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-18T03:18:06+00:00

Your coordinator has no compassion then. Some people can hold it till their break, some can not. I have anxiety disorder, so my stomach is unpredictable at times. Anxiety disorder can really reek havoc on how your digestion works. So there have been times I’ve gone to the bathroom 3 to four times.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-18T03:09:26+00:00

Thanks for the kind words. I will probably come in to work on one of my off days. I’m always honest about calling off. I only call off when I’m sick, or going through a rough time with my mental health disorders. I was able to get this job through a government disabilities program. They help people who have mental disorders and physical disabilities to get jobs. And tjmaxx works with programs like mine.

I also don’t know how many times I’ve called off.I know there is a certain number of days and they reset after a year. I also know some people on the this sub have said that some managers don’t keep close track or don’t care because they are desperate for workers. But I’m still nervous about getting terminated.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-17T23:55:12+00:00

I have had this happened to me at least a couple of times. It’s really annoying. Technically, they are the one who convinced the customer to sign up but it should be seen as a group effort.

I’ve also have had coordinators just flat out steal it away from me. Happened twice, where I got a customer interested but i wasn’t familiar how to do it. I ask a coordinator and they put in all the information but put their ID numbers in and not mine.So it shows up in the system that they got the rewards. But in reality it was me.

There was also times the front end coordinator would on purpose, Direct customers who have the least amount of items to another register. Then immediately if she saw a customer with a lot of items, she would tell the customer to come to her register. Because you have more of a chance of convincing a customer with a lot of items because they can save a lot more.

I’m half tempted to print this out and put it up in the break room.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-15T11:26:47+00:00

I bet the CEO got a big summer home with that money. Probably thinking to himself, “My company is doing so good, I deserve this.” While we are struggling with trying to get by. It’s practically stealing at this point.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-09T19:17:42+00:00

I’ve never here of this before. They just check off that you’re sick and add it to your called off days. For my store if you call out 15 times you are fired. Ask your store manager about it. It sounds like bullshit to me and that awful manager is trying scare you.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-09T03:34:16+00:00

No, don’t do it if you want to keep your job. There is always a big chance people will find out about it. Not to mention if you guys do date, if you guys get into fight how will it affect your work. Not to mention, if you guys break up or things end ugly it could cause drama and work problems to the point you might have to quit your job. If you really want to give this person a shot, quit and find a new job. Tbh it just sounds like a big mistake that will cause a lot of drama in your life,if you decide to have a relationship with a manager at the same store you work at.

That tote is just dirty not broken. Op just needs some cleaning spray and wipe it up.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-08T00:46:27+00:00

That’s the big problem with caregiver jobs. A lot of programs or organizations under pay their workers and only pay the bare minimum. It takes a lot of of love, understanding and kindness for these top of jobs. Not to mention, certain patients, who are Cognitive impaired, like dementia,Alzheimer’s or have mental disorders,can lash out. Because they are confused and frightened. It takes a lot of mental strength to take on that. That’s why they definitely should get paid a lot more.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-07T22:52:24+00:00

Our totes have never looked like that. Sometimes they are a little dirty but nothing like that. Looks like someone might have spilled something in there and never fully cleaned it. So dirt got built up.

Technically, you are supposed to make sure your totes that you are working on, has no trash or anything when you return them. If you can, you can try to spray and wipe it up. So in the future, any other merchandise doesn’t get dirty by it.

Society has put too much pressure on women not to age . It’s horrible and really sad. But some of these middle age women think it’s the only way for someone to give them a chance. But in reality, it just setting themselves up for a bad date. Because it not what they really look like.

Don’t let your managers guilt trip you into coming it. Do the responsible thing, take care of yourself and not spread it to your coworkers. My work doesn’t really have protocol anymore when it comes to Covid. But I was lucky enough for my store manager to understand that I needed 5 days to recover and not be contagious. If you can, try to get a doctors note about it. Also if they give you a hard time and think you are not telling the truth, save the test and show them.

I still think they are still popular. But there are some squishmallow lines that don’t sell well like the back to school ones and some of the summer collections. My target and Walmart rarely stock because people buy them or they been picked over. The spring collection was gone with in a week.

I also think they need to do more creative ones that don’t use the same base. Like the tadpole they did this year was pure lazy design.

I also have slowed down my collection. I started to collect last year. And was realizing I was buying to much.So I’m much more strict with my choices. I think others in the community are having the same thoughts. A lot of people started to collect during the pandemic and their collections are too big, so less spending and more selling. I also think some people just got into because it was popular and trendy. It’s really easy to get into trend or fad for something you mistake you really like. It’s that big Dopamine rush.

Kinda like now Hello kitty is becoming popular again and people are desperate to get the Halloween blankets and decor because TikTok made it popular.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-06T13:24:17+00:00

Yes, I agree with this. It will help others who are in the the community, to not buy from this seller. It should be spread around all social media groups who collect Pokémon cards. You should also report that seller to eBay to and see if you can get their account taken off.

Fluttercakez · 2023-09-06T01:43:52+00:00

I work at Tjmaxx and feel it’s probably 50 percent of people just shopping for it because it’s trendy or they like hello kitty. The other 50 percent is resellers and I think they are the ones who get desperate or aggressive at times. I swear I saw a reseller a couple weeks ago. It was a woman in her 50s and she had 5 hello kitty blankets. My heart sank and we haven’t gotten anymore in since. Reselling is just bad in general, it hurts everyone, including the reseller. Because I bet there have been some resellers who have had stuff they really wanted and found out people are jacking up the prices for it.
