TJ Maxx

TJ Maxx is nice for discounted, name brand merchandise, however, just like Ross you have to be willing to hunt. TJ Maxx takes time and patience, therefore I would avoid it at peak hours, especially during the holidays. It is slightly more organized than Ross or perhaps neater, I can’t really even tell you. Maybe it is the updated checkout system that tells you when a cashier is available that feels slightly more organized. Regardless, you can get a great deal on several different items: cookware, bathroom décor, active wear, kids clothing, shoes, bed sheets and more! The staff is somewhat friendly, not typically enthused and there are usually long lines. The bargains do make the wait worth it. If you’re looking at hitting up an array of departments or finishing up holiday shopping for a variety of people then this place will have you covered.

They were closing when I got there, so I was only in there 10 minutes, but from what I could tell it was super nice for a discount store. Store was organized, there were displays and some nice clothes.

Dirty, messy and unorganized are some of the words that can define this particular TJ-​MAXX. Though terms like these usually plague most of the stores of this type, this one was extra messy. Fortunately for us we found our diamond in the rough, a $ 10 Lodge black iron skillet, and were very happy. They do have a larger store, and a good selection but as we know, stores like this are hit and miss. It can be a waist of time or a great stop. That’s why I’m rating it 3 stars to keep it in the middle.

Don’t expect to look at any of the jewelry in the cases if there is even one other person around, and worse than that don’t expect them to even tell you about the «policy». What you can expect is awful customer service. My 1 year old niece is more mature than the undereducated cashiers that work here. The inventory isn’t special, most of what is actually worth buying is damaged, the store is a MESS, and the bathrooms look like they will break when you even look at anything in them.
Do yourself a favor and go to the one in Hammond!

The purpose of visiting a discounted store like TJ Maxx or Marshalls or even Goodwill in a city like Baton Rouge is completely defeated by the high sales tax percentage of a whopping 9%. In addition to this, this TJ Maxx doesn’t have a good selection of particularly anything.
Most of the clothes I perused were either in the wrong sections, out of order, or on the ground. Finding a good deal isn’t impossible here, however, it’s one of those places where digging in a pile may be required for something nice.
The dressing rooms here are also a mess. I stepped a couple of needles that were obviously not sifted from the ground, but thanks to my lovely rubber kicks, I avoided an accidental acupuncture session. Letting customer service hear my complaint only prompted an apathetic excuse, «Oh really? Alright. We’ll have someone look into it.»
The slowest and most painful experience is the customer returns. The people are nice and all, but the slow pace of answering phone calls while tip toeing to another errand along the counter, makes for many unhappy customers. I’m willing to bet once the shift is over, they’re sprinting for the door.
Other than the things mentioned above, this store can be a great time killer. Patience is required for almost all things in Baton Rouge, especially during the shopping frenzied holidays.
