TJ Maxx

AWFUL TJ Maxx. The only reason it gets any more than one star is because they got lucky. Pre Hurricane Sandy, this place was a dump. Clothes were on the floor, the cosmetics and house goods were always open and broken, and it just looked dismal and dirty. Post-​Sandy restoration, this place stepped it up. Most of the time, it does cover some good product.
NOW.why is it so horrible? Well, for one… I was PICK POCKETED and nearly lost my identity one night while shopping at this EXACT location! The store is disorganized and clearly needs to up their security. The second reason is for customer service. Before I realized that my wallet had been stollen, I was given a lot of crap from the lady behind the jewelry case. She was rude and less than helpful. This was all in September
Flash forward to the present. Today, I was in need of a mug. I had been banning this particular TJMaxx due to my horrible experience last September. Out of desperation, I ran in and gave the shop another shot. The home section was a DISASTER. I’m lucky that I was able to make it through the broken candles.
I was in a hurry, and alas, was made late due to the ridiculously long line. I understand that it was the end of Forth of July weekend. HOWEVER, the lines could have been organized better. For example, I hollered across the partition (where they sell extra last minute goods in line) to the cashier if maybe they could start an express line for people with 10 items or less. I told them that I LITERALLY had 3 things. They laughed at me and ignored me. Once I got to the head of the line (almost 20 minutes later,) the girl ringing me up was unfriendly and unaccommodating. She didn’t say two words to me.
AVOID THIS LOCATION AT ALL COSTS. Go to Oceanside instead!

Probably not a favored shopping spot but it gets the job done when your with your mom or an elderly family member and they need an outfit for church… If that doesn’t paint a picture then I’m not sure how else to dis robe this location… (Sigh)

Definitely not the nicest of TJMaxx locations, but it’s good enough for a neighborhood store.
I wish they carried higher end items like other locations in Long Island, but I guess it’s due to the area it’s in.
Their dress section needs some serious work. The prices aren’t that competitive for what they offer, and their selection is skimpy.
I do tend to find good bargains on sweaters and tops, though. You really have to be diligent and comb through the racks to find a good deal, so be patient.

Not my favorite place to be but certainly a change from pre sandy. They’ve gotten a lot better but they still have a ways to go. Much cleaner than I remember but you still have to sift through to find certain items. Most things are in their place but it depends on the time and day you choose to go.

Store is very unorganized I saw signs on the top and there was other products under it the staff was ok the store had product all over the store and the line was outrageous they had people just standing around and talking while the line was just building up. So for the most part I wish I would have stayed home

Like those in the same vein, what you find depends on when you walk in because it’s always just a little bit different each time. You must be open to spending when you waltz in here and be prepared to not spend at all. I went in looking for skirts (yes, I know it’s the wrong season) and dresses and ended up walking away with shirts, a dress, and a pair of shoes.
