[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go in person and speak to the manager. Introduce yourself and tell them you want a job in their store. Pick a slower time to go, think first thing in the morning shortly after they open. [/quote]

Just a different perspective here, and I don't know how things work at TJ's. But I worked a retail job at Tysons a few years back and our manager had zero power when it came to people walking in like this; you had to apply online which included an aptitude test, and based on the results of that test  -- I think people scored "highly desirable" "acceptable" and "not acceptable" or something -- corporate told her who to interview. We were incredibly understaffed and they wouldn't let her interview anyone who did not score "highly desirable." It was a PITA. But people would come in all the time wanting to meet with our managers about jobs, and the only thing they could say was "apply online." We hated it when people would wander in wanting a job -- it took time to deal with them and even during times that didn't look busy, we were busy doing things like inventory. [/quote]

+1 I worked retail for a mom and pop shop and they exclusively did applications online, too.  Same with one of the bigger gym chains in the area.  We'd have people call or come in, and I'd flag it to my manager, but IDK if that made a difference or not.[/quote]
