      Recently went to the ** Maxx at ************************************************************************** with my 7 year old daughter.She recently landed on the honor roll and I owed her a gift.While in the jewelry section, my daughter spotted a pair of inexpensive ******************* earrings on the earring rack.They were sterling silver, gold-plated, with cubic zirconia stones. The only issue was that the earrings were missing another pair (there were supposed to be 2 pairs of earrings on the pack, but it only had 1.) The woman at the counter/cashier--young, Hispanic woman with long brown hair--refused to sell them to **** asked why and she said that she was required to damage them out, they couldn't be sold. I thought that odd because i've purchased damaged items--including jewelry--at a discounted price plenty of times at this store.Why all of a sudden a change in policy?!I then asked to speak with a manager.A lady with short, colorful hair--I was told that her name is ********--came marching over rather rudely.She took the earrings from my hands and said that she cant sell damaged items.She proceeded to tell the cashier to put them in a black lockbox under the cash register and then walked off. I was shocked!At this point my daughter was sobbing and I was furious.It's as if they wanted the earrings themselves,so were making up excuses not to sell them to me.You mean to tell me that ** Maxx would rather lose a sale than to simply sell an item I'm WILLING to buy "damaged".I explicitly told both the manager and cashier that I'd even be willing to buy the item at full price/final sale.You guys sell 100s of items that are damaged--I can go to the store tomorrow and document it.I bought a necklace with a broken clasp on sale a few months ago from this location.Secondly, was the attitude necessary in front of my kid??I wasn't rude, especially since I had my daughter with me observing the interaction. You're a manager, carry yourself as such. I would like an executive/corporate team member to contact me.

      I bought a couple of knives for $7 aprox and I haven't even had them for a month and they rusted on the edges so I went to Marshalls to request a guarantee for a defective product and they didn't want to refund me because they don't accept used items, it's illogical because the things are to be used and these knives should be made of a material that does not harm the health of others causing tetanus

      False free-shipping offer:********** has a promotion for a one-time free shipping code if you sign up for their emails. I gave them my email and received promotional emails, but no free shipping code. I called customer service, and they first tried to convince me this was the same as the SHIP89 (free shipping on orders $89+ promotion). I showed them the offer, and then they backpedaled and said I had to wait ***** hours for the code (which I thought is predatory since they had no problem sending ads). I waited 48 hours and still no code, but they've sent 10 promotional emails! I would like the free shipping code or for them to take down this false promotion.

      In September, I went to TJ Maxx, and a blonde lady served as my cashier, asking if I wanted to apply for the rewards program. She explained that a 10% discount would be applied upon purchase, and after every use, I would gather points as coupons for future deals. I was under the impression I was getting a coupon applied, nothing else, and I made it a point to ask to pay the bill on the spot, not later. I requested to pay in cash with my mother and then the rest with a debit ***** In total, $271.22 was exchanged. The cashier never mentioned that I was required to make monthly payments in addition to what I had paid in-store. Fast forward to October, I received a bill showing I still owed $200 plus a fee for late payment. I did not save the September receipt and had to dispute the charges to clarify that I paid the balance. I explained both cash and card were used towards my purchase; I sent my bank statements reflecting the $71.22 debit, but with no receipt, I could not dispute the additional $200 charge. The store manager told me she had no tickets to provide that showed the use of the rewards card or debit, and the rewards card supervisor said that only a payment of $71.22 in debit **** and the rewards credit card was used to make the transaction, and no cash was exchanged. The store manager stated they would not have taken my payment from me only with the rewards credit card. I know I paid in cash and used my debit card to pay because my online bank statement reflects the date 09/02/2022, as the card was used at Tj Maxx. I believe the cashier mismanaged the transaction by not crediting my payment or possibly taking the cash payment. I have so far paid an additional $200 to the rewards program and made them close the account as I want no part in their business. I spent because it would reflect poorly on my credit score if I didn't. Not only am I seeking reimbursement, but I want these rewards programs to cease, as they only serve to put people at risk of debt.

      I am highly disappointed about my recent experience at my local marshals and the *** company in general. I waited for 10 years before I decided was time to benefit from the credit card especially since a Sierra is opening right next door. I applied being told will get 10% off. Despite my 820 credit score I was told that I have to call a number and I will be approved. I asked specifically what happens now since I had just made a $500 purchase with the goal to get the 10 % off. I was told to ************, go outside call and come back in and we will give you the 10% off. I did this and then was told I needed to wait for the coupon to come in the mail with the card and apply the 10 % off to my next purchase. Needless to say I was angry since I would have help back buying so much if I knew this. I spoke to manager who suggested to just come return everything and rebuy with the card when I get it. So decided to do that. I get the card 10 businesss days later (so 2 weeks later) and coupon not in the envelope. I call and I am told they cannot email me the coupon but needs to be mailed. Another **** business days. I am still waiting for coupon and my 30 days to return are up on 3 days. I do not understand why this is so complicated. Other places have access to you card number (which I was told they do not have ) and can give you coupons. I am highly disappointed and regret getting the card. I have been very patient and have waited close to a month now with my purchases neatly in their bags since the day I bought them to return and rebuy. Yes I could have read the fine print but when they offer you the card at the counter there is no time to read it. I will even take credit for the amount equivalent to 10% and off course the reward amount since I made a $497.87 purchase. This experience has tainted my previous love for this company. *****.
