I love it. I've never had any weird encounters but I keep my eyes down on the merchandise and am oblivious to the other shoppers. It's a big hit or miss but it's retail therapy and you never know what you'll find. I wouldn't go if I had to find something in particular.... it is quite random, so if I have time to kill and want to go for a treasure hunt I'll go.

I am not a TJ Maxx expert but the one in Tysons is gross. There is one in Ashburn that is much nicer.

I don't get it. So I pretty much stopped shopping at places like that.

Dogs are at the grocery store MoM's..yuck. don't shop there if they still allow bigger than chichauas to come in.

I don't want chihuahua hair in my food either, nor do I want to deal with chihuahua mess on the floors.

Years ago I saw a woman in a froyo shop with her dog sticking out of her purse. When she turned around, her dog licked the froyo dispenser.

lol!!

The only one I can tolerate is Potomac Yard and only on a weekday.

The other ones always seem to be a mess.

I got a sweaty betty shirt there once.

She then kept blocking entire aisles, so I just kept avoiding her and going around her. On my way out, she sees me walking directly down the main aisle and she decides then is a good time for her to cross but she stops with her cart - mind you with just the LV bag still - and blocks the whole aisle again, incredibly strange. I stop and say excuse me to give her time to move, and she yells at me "watch where you're going" as I still just stand there, nearly two feet away from her .....

Hey OP. This reminds me of something that happened to me when I was in college. I went to a southern school but came from out west where my family owned a store in a popular resort town. So while at college I was at a party, and this heavy set girl kept walking past me and literally bumping me and knocking me backwards into a wall once, a plant another time. This happened like five or six times. At the end of the night, I asked my friend I was there with whether I was just imagining this or if this girl, whom she knew, was being purposely aggressive. Turns out it was on purpose, she had told my friend a few minutes earlier that over the last summer, she was vacationing with her family in my home town and had come in to shop in my family’s store. That we had spoken for a few minutes about how we were both enrolled at the same college, what a coincidence. Apparently she was furious that I didn’t recognize her at that party nine months later. I mean, we get many thousands of tourists through our store every summer and I speak with all of them so forgive me if I can’t recall your face at a different time and location nearly a year later. But this really struck a nerve with her for whatever reason.

Moral of the story OP, people are weird. Like really weird. They feel entitled and important and won’t hesitate to get pushy and even slightly physically aggressive if they see something in you that triggers them.

“Dog Whistle - High Frequency" or "Dog Repeller LITE"

If you get caught doing this (which you will, because the apparent glee you feel at harming animals will probably show on your ugly face) around a service animal, good luck with the lawsuit.

Since you can't tell a service animal from a pet, maybe just leave when you get upset about... things? Like an adult would?

Imagine downloading an app to harm animals just so you could shop at... TJ Maxx...

There isn’t any law against playing a sound on your phone.
Pp, what setting do you use on dog repeller lite ? This is such an amazing idea I can’t wait to try it next time someone brings a dog where it doesn’t belong.

Our neighbor is constantly letting their dog run around our yard. I'm going to try this next time it happens.

What’s bunch of snobs. People shop there to find little treasures (yes you can find them) or bc that is what they afford. Not all of us grew up with rich parents. Or have. A lot of money now.

I do t shop there as I don’t care for the offerings ftmp. But my family back in rust belt def does. I’m sure they’ll like to know you think their trash.

Same. I’ve gotten really awesome stuff. But I go in with little to no expectations.

What locations do you go to ? Every time I've ever gone, it's always crowded and women just shove past you or start grabbing at the same clothes I'm looking at - like I literally was standing at a rack and another woman came up next to me and started grabbing at the SAME STUFF i was looking through. I wouldnt even do that to my mom or friend?! like What the hell

Tell me you’ve never been to a sample sale without telling me you’ve never been to a sample sale.

She is clearly mentally ill. Anyone who has that type of reaction to "excuse me" when you're blocking the aisle is not a normal, kind, decent human

OP doesn’t sound like a reliable narrator to me.

I only go immediately after they open. Any later and it just feels gross.

Not everyone can shop at Veronica Beard. I love it!
