T.J. Maxx Backs Away From Ivanka Trump as President Assails Nordstrom
NYT ^ | 2/2/17 | RACHEL ABRAMS

Posted on 02/08/2017 12:59:10 PM PST by Timpanagos1

Last week, employees at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls got very clear instructions about where to put signs for Ivanka Trump products: in the garbage.

The TJX Companies, the retailers’ parent company, told employees not to display Ivanka Trump merchandise separately and to throw away Ivanka Trump signs, according to a note to employees on Wednesday, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times.

“Effective immediately, please remove all Ivanka Trump merchandise from features and mix into the runs,” the note read. “Runs” refers to the normal clothing racks where the majority of products hang. “All Ivanka Trump signs should be discarded.”

Well, I don’t do Nordstrom’s or Niehmen Marcus—but I HAVE shopped at TJ Maxx stores.

Not anymore.

The TJ Maxx near me is pretty well, cheesy..the only decent thing I found over there was a pair of cheap socks thats about it..Maybe it depends on location Ive just never seen her stuff..its a real shame this is what the Commie left is all about. Dont like her stuff, FINE dont buy it..when a celebrity comes out and trashes Republicans I just don’t watch their movie/tv show..I dont picket, I dont demand others not watch their movie, but when it comes to the left, they have NO LIFE, no means of existence except to make other people be as miserable as they are

OMG - TJMaxx varies by location. In some locations they are fantastic.

I just called their corporate customer service.
1-800-926-6299

The person I spoke with was very surprised that the manager said they dropped the line. He said they didn’t drop the line and the manager was wrong.

Until I find out if they did I’m going to boycott them and I will completely boycott that individual store. That will hurt. They have a wonderful selection. (I once got a Christofle silver flatware storage box for $30. at TJMaxx. It retailed for $995. I got two of them. Gave one as a gift!)

I bought a couple shirts from TJ Maxx once.. they were both crap.. TJ Maxx is a low cost, factory seconds, clearance house.. Unless that’s changed.

I have never bought anything of Ivanka Trump’s clothing line but with all this fuss about her and the unfair way she’s being treated makes me want to do it.

The b@$+@*!$ probably just now brought Ivanka’s stuff out long enough to be seen and heard giving it the boot.

Doubt they carried it in the first place, but barely.

Yes, I called the Framingham store, the one that is located in that big mall. It’s close to the corporate headquarters on rte 30. They have a wonderful selection of good quality clothing. A lot of it is Size 2 and very upscale but it frequently has a good selection

IMO Trump shouldn’t be tweeting or commenting about this in any way. It’s Ivanka’s business. She’s an independent businesswoman, let her deal with it independently.
By publicly injecting himself as POTUS into it, he’s undermining his daughter.
Also, he’s taking the bait, walking right into ongoing accusations that he’s putting family ahead of the country.
Bad optics from any angle.

There are many facets to the President’s job and one of those is to promote American owned businesses and Ivanka Trump’s line is an American brand.

Ivanka Trump’s business creates jobs in the United States and we cannot not separate her brand from what is good for the country.

These companies don’t seem to understand that they have conservative shoppers too. Much like Hollywood. They think only liberals made them rich.

I would not sell anything Trump if I were a retailer. Just like I wouldn’t sell clothing from Michelle Obama. Just playing with fire. Simply and quietly let it go.

I still see people in LA wearing Barack Obama t-shirts I dont go to them and demand they take off their shirt..Ivanka Trump has been selling clothing for years(I wore a pair of her high heel shoes at my sisters wedding in 2012 Im not a high heel kind of gal so the shoes were killing me no fault of Ivanka’s just my stupid feet) and I don’t buy the “Oh she wasn’t selling well” excuse..Id buy the excuse if there wasn’t a stupid Commie campaign to destroy her clothing line seriously those people have NO LIFE nothing better to do its none of their business what these clothing stores do, if they dont like her clothes, dont buy it that simple

I checked Macy’s the other day - as of then they still have Ivanka’s products and some are on sale:

http://m.macys.com/shop/search?keyword=ivanka%20trump

Heard on Fox & Friends this a.m. that there is a new tweeter feed - #buyivanka

I called Nordstrom’s yesterday and told them that I had been shopping there for many years, but because of them no longer carrying Ivanka Trump’s products, I would no longer give them my business and my friends and family feel the same way.

BTW - Heard on Fox earlier this week that Nordstrom’s decided to not carry Ivanka’s items (said it was for poor sales) TWO DAYS after they came out against Pres Trump’s travel restriction EO.

I have a Marshalls not far from me. I’m going to stop by in the next few days and ask them where there Ivanka Trump products are.

I’m quite sure these protesters do not shop at Nordstroms.
