I am an avid TJ Maxx/ Marshall's enthusiast and always enjoy visiting this particular store when I am in the San Clemente area. The store was very tidy,easy to get around and well merchandised. We spent about 2 hours here today and were both very successful Left mainly with men's clothing, a bit of travel accessories & a couple home goods items. Fun visit. Had a very friendly gal help me at While checking out The line to the register was a bit lengthy so don't be in a rush! read more

I love that you can find literally anything you're looking for at TJ Maxx, with lots of unique items to browse through. I especially loved their Valentine's Day selections--so many cute mugs and a great variety of makeup! However, the store can feel a bit over-stimulating. The bright lights, small aisles, and loud music make it a little overwhelming to shop comfortably. If you're up for the hunt, it's worth a visit, but be prepared for a sensory overload. One last thing to note is that the security alarm was broken or something and was going off with each person walking out. That was very overwhelming and irritating. read more

Prepping for an trip can often find someone do last minute shopping. Even at the 11th hour. I am no exception. The forever procrastinator , I will never change my ways. I found myself here looking for a cute outfit and packing cubes. This location is upscale, clean, and has a great selection of luggage and accessories. Unfortunately, the sizes for plus size is limited and often hard to find and scattered. Judith was the MVP for me today and was able to assist me with great customer service but also great life advice. Come for the goods, leave with a heart filled with joy. 10/10 read more

Hair more professional sales person I waited half day to return a earring and she was giving me a hard time

I have shopped at TJ maxx for years and I work in the area and have never been to this one so I thought I would give it a shot because shopping is my therapy. Well, I guess beware at spending to much time in the store and browsing the clearance and or the whole store for 1hr and 30minutes because then you will have multiple people follow you around the store till you pay and leave. Oh and by the way I spent over $60 here today and the cashier was the only pleasant part about this trip and she forgot to charge me for one of the items so I went back in and had them charge me for it to then still get treated like garbage. I will not be shopping at any TJ Maxx stores anymore. And your so called store associates should learn real asset protection skills because they are lacking the secrecy part of it. read more

Last month, bought a hair product for $13. I was on a trip and later that day when I arrived in Santa Barbara, I realized the checker had forgotten to put it in the bag with my other purchases. I called the store and spoke with Sylvia, a manager. After verifying that they had my product, she told me to come back to get it. I explained to her that I live out of state and was on vacation when shopping at their store. She said there was nothing she could do and to just come back and get it. I told her I had just driven three plus hours in traffic to get to Santa Barbara where I was staying for a few days and from there, drive another ten hours to home. Basically she told me too bad. So I asked to speak to another manager and I spoke with Araceli and told her the same story over again. She gave me the same reply, there is nothing they can do. I told her it was a good thing that the clerk hadn't forgot to put my $49 dress in the bag. I know it's only $13, but it is the principal. Their mistake and I'm out $13 because there is 'nothing they can do". That is not true as when I got home, I spoke to my manager/acquaintance at the Marshalls where I live and she told me they could have shipped it to me. At any rate when visiting that area of OC, I will never go back to this store due to the inability of the managers to make a customer happy and to do the right thing! Shame on them. read more

An employee named Araceli was so rude to a customer in front of me. And the customer was not being rude to the employee. I won't ever go to this TJ Maxx again, unless that woman is no longer employed there. read more

Very unhappy with the selection. It's very small and they don't even sell men's shoes. I wan not able to find one si glen swim suit! Just sandals but honestly not worth a trip to this location. We ended up at the Outlets of San Clemente. read more

There are a lot of negative reviews about this store, but please take into consideration that many of the comments are about the company's policies, not this store or location. This store and location is 5 stars as far as the brand goes. I have visited many locations in both CA and other states and while I consider this location small and in some ways the selection limiting I also recognize that the real estate is about a mile from one of the world's most treasured coast lines. The store itself is clean and organized. The people who work there are striving for great customer service. I have literally been shopping there since the day those doors opened. read more

Found some great stuff at this location. Not the most organized TJ Maxx I've ever been in, but still had a good time. They still had some Disney Halloween merch which was a huge surprise. Happy to take home some awesome makeup brushes as well. read more

The cashiers will accuse you of stealing while they check you out to pay for your items. Seems kind of backwards, because if I was stealing I wouldn't be walking up to pay for my items. read more

I wish I had a photo to attach to thank the two clerks at TJ Maxx in San Clemente. I noticed they were raising funds for autism. This cause is so close to my heart. Autism Speaks has made the impossible possible for so many friends and members of my family. When I got to the checkout the clerk and manager were so kind and spoke to me about what they were doing and then rang a cowbell throughout the store when I donated. I committed to coming back and buying more in the next two weeks. Ya know - we have so many huge companies in this country. Just think how much better off we all would be if some of those companies followed in TJMaxx's footsteps and occasionally used their position to help better life for people in their community. THANK YOU TJ Maxx...and especially the two people at check out. You made my day! read more

I went to shop with my mom and her friend. We purchased many items there was a great selection everything was going so well until we checked out. the Cashier Melanie was working so slow and it looked like she was doing It on purpose. They had a long line so I thought maybe she would speed up a little bit. Mind you we were in no rush but I have never seen anyone work this slow in my life. You can tell she hates being there I honestly don't know how she even has this job. Specially to be working on the register. This is so bad for customers and it hurts their business and its a shame because I know Melanie could care less about her job. the customers that were behind us looked so annoyed and some even left their things and got out of the line. There were two other people working the registers and they weren't moving this slow. I am not exaggerating when I say she was. The manager can check the cameras to see and confirm that I am saying is the truth. I called the store and asked to speak to the manager about this but they keep telling me that the manager is not available. You can also see that other customers have left reviews and talking about the same employee its a shame that she is still working there specially since several customers have complained. read more

manager is awful. they put used luggage back on the floor. I needed a suitcase by today. It was the only one there. It was covered in black and scratches. The manager refused to discount it and basically told me to go away. I've never heard of a place putting used luggage back on the floor or if you do, you don't mark down. read more

This one star review is for one employee and one employee only. Melanie. I've never ever experienced a Ruder customer service experience. I never thought I'd write a review for a retail store but she is so incredibly rude. I asked her how her day was, she ignores. Smacking on her gum giving me a dirty look. Never told me my total just stared at me waiting to pay. Didn't even bother pushing my items back closer to me so I could grab them! Thank you Melanie for spreading negativity read more

I love this store and the brand in general BUT the lines are always SO SO LONG with literally no reaction from the team. I understand certain retailers have restrictions of which clerks can do what... but don't ignore us. Acknowledge our wait time and apologize. Otherwise you seem completely apathetic and indifferent. read more

I love this store so much due to the nice man outside who was greeting the customers coming in. He was very welcoming, fun spirited and energetic. I went there on 6/11/2020 just to let you know because I think he should get an award for sure or employee of the year/month. There should be more employees like him. I will be going back just to see him very soon. That's the service I love after being in this pandemic. I wouldn't give TJ Maxx a 5 star review unless it wasn't for the greeter :) God bless that man!! read more

Really bad customer service . Trying on some clothes in dressing room and lady thought clothes were gonna hit the floor nd yelled at me will not be shopping here anymore. read more

THE WORST STORE MANAGER customer service! Today is their grand opening. I enjoyed the store and selected a lot of activewear items to purchase. I found 3 exact same style Hurley long sleeved dry-fit shirts. One had a price tag of $9.99 and the other two had $24.99. The $9.99 wasn't a return, it had the same original tags as the other two, just tagged at $9.99. I took all three up to the counter to buy and asked if I could get the other two for $9.99 each as well. The woman manager behind the counter was rude and rolled her eyes at me and snapped out to another person to go do a price check. The young male clerk who rug up my other items was very sweet and professional as we waited to find out. The nasty woman manager came back up and said "No the price is $24.99, this one was tagged wrong and rips it off and I said "Wait I want that one for $9.99 and I don't want the other two since they're $24.99" She again snapped at me and said "You can't have it at that price. We mistagged it and reserve the right to price adjust our merchandise!" I said "Wow! Really? It was tagged $9.99. You can tell it was your doing and you're not going to honor it, even though you say you're at fault?" She said "Nope" and walked away. I was originally very excited to have this store open here in San Clemente. I love shopping at TJ Maxx but I will NEVER be a return customer to the San Clemente location. I've never been treated so rudely, ESPECIALLY by a store manager! Shame on her, and shame on TJ Maxx for poor hiring of her. read more

Do not buy cosmetics from this store. "Everything is final sale" the guy told me when I try to return a lipgloss. Where is the sign when you purchase the product? read more

BUYER BEWARE: you cannot return open items. They have some fine print posted, so it's on you if you open something and the product is not as advertised on the box. Great kids section, but really frustrating service. read more

I'd give this TJ Maxx zero if I could. Not helpful at all. The manager Ruth is awful. Had a blow dryer that I bought 6 months ago and I use maybe once a week so that's about 20 times. The blow dryer just shut off. It's obviously defective but they won't return, has to be returned within 30 days. If it broke within 30 days it'd really be a piece of crap. Go to a different store this ones awful and non helpful. Ruth you need to learn customer service skills. You suck. Don't shop here there stuff is junk and you're stuck with it. read more

I've been here several times and always had a good experience. I found some really nice clothes items some great kids clothes and have had really nice interactions with all the staff that has helped me read more

Worst customer service. Rude and inept. The woman Manager is just as rude as the inexperienced cashiers. Very disappointed as we were excited to have the store close by. I avoid shopping there . read more

This is a review of the employees and the stores policies. I had purchased bedding at a TJ Maxx Home Goods store in Aliso Viejo. I was returning it and the cashier told me they couldn't except it because it was purchased at a Home Goods store. The receipt says TJ Maxx at the top. He said he knew that but the stickers on the merchandise were different. So I asked oh do you not sell the SAME bedding? Yeah we do. Ok great, can I talk to a manager? *rolls eyes* sure, but he's going to tell you the same thing. He calls his manager over. The manager tells me he would be giving away free money if he returned it for me ok? Turned off of this store by this bullshit policy and BAD customer service. read more

STORE NEEDS ANOTHER STORE MANAGER. It's very difficult to write a negative review on TJ Maxx when it seams I'm in a TJ Maxx or Homegoods a few times a month and I love finding good deals there. But I just have to, especially when it's my neighborhood TJ Maxx. I was so excited when they opened, I was at the grand opening at 8:30 am on a weekend :) One of the store managers, Michelle, has zero customer service skills. The customer ahead of me at the register had a question about how something was marked down. The store manager skills drove the customer out of the store leaving behind a cart full of merchandise without buying any of it. Then it was my turn. I had a purchase and a return and had a question. Her skills almost had me leave the dress I was buying. But I liked it too much to leave it :) Makes me sad my neighborhood TJ Maxx would have such bad customer service, and coming from the store manager. read more

Lady with short hair, who I think was one of the managers was pretty rude...made snarky comments in line about how customers like to wait in line and joking about how the sign was lit up but not in use. 40 min before close came up to my family saying "we're closing shortly...but no rush" I feel like it's very rude to say this until it's 10 min til closing. read more

Have been to this store 3 times. The last 2 times when I got home and reviewed my receipt-I HAD BEEN CHARGED FOR FOUR ITEMS I DID NOT PURCHASE!!! What a scam!!! read more

They sell a bunch of broken/damaged products at full price. Be cautious when buying here. On top of that, the cashiers have been super rude and condescending. I typically love TJ Maxx, so I don't know if it's just this one or if the company as a whole is going down hill. Big bummer. read more

They're extremely rude an unprofessional, and could care less about customer service. They seem bothered to assist anyone,and give you dirty looks.Wouldn't recommend coming here! read more

WORST CUSTOM SERVICE ! WORST STORE MANAGEMENT !! The manager is very rude to customer. She needs to be replaced. The registers does not process correctly and the manager does not know how to handle the situation. read more

This store chain has been our favorite but it is the very first time we stepped into this store. We brought my service dog and this person named Camella told me us that we cannot bring the dog because they sell food. She is RUDE! The sign in front of the door clearly stated that service animals are welcome and all other TJ Maxxes are okay and friendly with our lovely dog. Well, I lost interest in purchasing anything from this branch just because of this treatment. I hope upper management will read this and re-train employees in customer service. read more

Aging man loudly spoke to me in an embarrassing way at checkout because I had a tj maxx and homegoods receipt. Told me to go to homegoods. Not going back if I dont have to...Completely disregarded the item I was going to buy, practically ordered me out of the store. It was l ridiculous! this was today. read more

Very poor customer service. An item I picked up in my size didn't have a tag on it, so I found an identical item in a different size and brought both up to the register so the cashier wouldn't have to waste time finding the price. She pretty much accused me of switching tags and then ran off to check the price for herself. There were at least three more of the same item on the floor with the same price. I did call the manager over to complain about this cashier. They really need to train their employees to treat their customers with a little more respect and not treat them like they are all shop-lifters. read more

If your going to come to a new area please get your best marketing people who know who there buyers are!! Just don't put your junk in there. If we wanted to go to another junk store we'd go to Rose in San Juan Capistrano!! We have all in this area waited and waited once we heard you were coming them when you came and saw the junk you had we have only gone back a few times! Your designer is horrible! Go get the director of Palm Desert Store to do your ordering because I don't know who does it now but it's bad. !! I told my friends that I'd probably be in there everyday but not true now! I go maybe maybe once every other week. We now say that since Steinmart has changed to younger styles that we can't wait till they come in! Whoever was put in charge didn't do their homework! What a pity! read more

Leaving a review simply because the other (negative) reviews are so false! Had nothing but good customer service here plus, the store has the best brands and products - it seriously feels Iike Macy's in there. Don't listen to other reviews and go experience for yourself. And stop by sprouts in the same shopping center - it's amazing. read more
