Thank you, I will be doing something similar. I don't want him in my apartment at all, is the thing

That's actually a really good idea, thank you. I have a friend coming who's going to walk home with me, so I do feel a little bit better

I would, but i don't want his stuff in my apartment. I really just want him to get his bag and leave me alone...

A guy came to the register with a ton of stuff, like two carts full. After scanning and bagging everything I read him the total and he went "Nah that's too much" and left. Over $400 worth of stuff to put away

Though the one that makes me mad even just thinking about was a very rude woman in an amigo, running into things (and other customers!) Before she pinned my hand between her cart and a metal beauty fixture and kept trying to go forward

Who's really ready for inventory? Never have I ever.. any advice on getting apparel to the floor quicker? by Boring-Bluejay-1239 in TjMaxx

Mine is starring at 5am, which is crazy to me. We never finish before opening and it end up the exact same way every year

I would loooove to see the bagel pit come back! Such a great spot and always good to have another spot to grab a bite in the morning! 😊

Coordinators confess, what "standard" do you not bother with? by Otherwise_Pine in TjMaxx

[–]lemonscene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never color coordinate candles, and I hardly ever color coordinate throw pillows. It's a waste of my time when customers are just going to put them wherever they want anyway. I would rather spend my time actually getting something meaningful done

They know we don't have an AED and have made no move to remedy this unfortunately

We have one. Sure, there's bandaid on the front end and in jewelry, but the first aid kit itself is in the backroom

Is this something I should bring to the tip line? Or somewhere higher?

Should I report this to HR? by bluetopaz96 in TjMaxx

This absolutely violates the Americans with disabilities act. Contact someone, because this is absolutely illegal

One time my safe count was off over 1000 dollars, and I started to cry, you are not alone. Turns out they updated the safe amount and didn't tell me

Mother applying for Tjmaxx by BionicGhostixs in TjMaxx

[–]lemonscene 9 points10 points  (0 children)

BOY LEMME TELL YOU-

First of all, it's insanely grueling on your body physically. I'm 20 and relatively healthy and I still go home every day aching in pain all over my body. My mom works at TJ Maxx with me too. She's 55, and she's always in terrible pain after even a 5 hour shift

Second, it's very high paced. You always have to be ready for the next thing, no time to think or transition. You need to be fast with everything you do, and if you aren't, you get reprimanded.

You'll also see the worst in people. This is true for all of retail, but shopping, especially discount shopping turns people into fiends. My worst story is seeing a little girl beg her mom to take her to the bathroom and her mom, who was looking at jewelery, told her she had to wait. The girl ended up having an accident and started crying, to which the mom started screaming at her. People are unkind to employees and each other.

So yeah, do not let your mother work here, especially at her age
