T.J. Maxx

This place has great deals on a good selection of name brand clothes and other household and common items. I was there today for about two hours with my friend and my two girls looking for clothing and shoes. A total of $200.00 was spent. However, the sale was almost ruined by a dressing room attendant whose name I will mention if contacted. My friend needed my help in the dressing room and as I was headed back there, I was rudely stopped (with hands up like I was on a busy street being held up by police) by that attendant to be asked, "May I help you?" I said, "I'm only coming back here to give my friend a hand." I was then rudely asked to give my friend's name." So I did and she then proceeded to scream my friend's name all while holding me up with her hands in front of me like she was a human stop sign! As I was headed to her dressing room, my two very young girls followed me. The attendant then comes back to say, "You can be back here, but YOUR KIDS CAN'T COME BACK HERE!" As I tried to understand if I heard what I thought I heard, I said, "Excuse me". She repeats herself and my girls and I kindly walk out. Now, I am a very experienced shopper that's been all over the US to purchase clothes and not one time have I been told that my kids were not allowed in the dressing room. In fact, I'm always given special treatment because I have my kids. Needless to say, this is one of the worst experiences I've ever had as a shopper, but more as a mother. I'm happy to know that the city of Vicksburg is getting more companies to invest; however, experiences like that one could seriously cause a decline in business (atleast for me it does). This matter is not resolved!
