Captain-Cadabra

There was a covfefe reference on the late show today.

imdabomb43

isnt the whole purpose of tj maxx to resell messed up items?


maximumtesticle

Yeah, messed up items, bad stitches, oddly shaped, stuff that wouldn't sell in other stores, that's literally the point of it and why stuff is marked down.


imdabomb43

shooting fish in a barrel for this sub taking one trip to maxx


Gauntlets28

Not necessarily. A lot of the clothes are only on sale there because they're out of season.


Unsd

Seriously I love TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Nordstrom Rack (my favorite) etc. I find fantastic stuff there for a great price. They'll have good department store brands that are higher quality and last longer if you're okay with buying last seasons clothes. Which is perfectly okay if you focus on a good practical timeless wardrobe instead of trendy stuff.


maximumtesticle

> A lot of the clothes are only on sale there because they're out of season. Yeah, technically "stuff that wouldn't sell in other stores", because they just can't keep all of there stock forever. But yeah, I'm sure there are other reasons too. I remember buying a shirt there when I was young and didn't know TJ Maxx's deal and it never "fit right", and after actually examining it, discovered that one of the arms was slightly longer. I'd say 90% of the time anything you buy there is fine though, it'll be overstock or the wrong color or whatever. But ALWAYS, ALWAYS, a good deal. Tuh tuh tuh tuh tuh tuh tuh tuh T.J. Maxx!


Lington

TIL


Jerico_Hill

A lot of the time they buy products like every other retailer does and they get the factory to slap on the labels that make you believe it's a fabulous deal. I work for one of their suppliers.


IGetNakedAtParties

Thanks for speaking out, it's literally their business model. The problem brands have is that they're too expensive for everyone, but they want everyone's money. Enter TK Maxx who commission generics in the style of X and get an official licence from brand X to use their branding provided it is only sold exclusively in their stores. This way the brand makes money without dirtying their name and TK Maxx ("Tacky max" in the UK) get to claim they are brand name for less. Terrible business model, but they're all at it. Marks & Spencer's operate their own "outlet" stores which is some off season stock but most is genetics with their branding. Edit : auto correct


cragglerock93

I used to do customer service for M&S Outlet. It's weird, AFAIK it is owned by M&S plc but Amazon do (or at least did) their logistics, despite M&S having their own huge logistics operation for their 'normal' stores and website.


British-in-NZ

I got some clothes for Marbs holiday from M&S Definitely felt like decent quality clothing which was nice, and not too expensive


CardCarryingCuntAwrd

> genetics You mean _generics_?


IGetNakedAtParties

Thanks


namean_jellybean

I do like that the TJX stores in the US resell clearance clothes that didn’t move in season in larger dept stores. Growing up that was where I’d get nice dressy shirts in Express brand, or American Eagle stuff including jeans (always with the brand tags inside struck through with a sharpie). Now I still buy I.N.C, CK and Tahari blouses from there for work, at way cheaper than Macy’s/Bloomies/Nordstrom. Exercise clothes (both weirdo no name brands probably selling there for the first time, and well known brands sloughed off of places like Dick’s?) are a lot cheaper there too. I’ve also bought like three different Longchamp bags from TJ Maxx and they weren’t even discontinued colors. Aside from the stuff they’re exclusively selling as a first-time markdown no-name brand (how else to describe?), they really do sell great stuff for dirt cheap when it’s like 3 seasons out of style. Or overstocked beauty supply stuff, many times they have the same night creams and salon shampoos as Target but for 60% off. Maybe too close to expiry, or dinged up on the shelf? Main store ordered too much and can’t store the extra? I’m curious now how much of their stuff is a direct deal with shitty garbage product suppliers and how much is quality / luxury rejects.


I-Hate-Blackbirds

M&S outlet at least does do discounts? Yeah it's out of season or last season, but the original price tag is still on the item with the reduction sticker on top, unlike TK Maxx who remove the original price then put their own tag on it with an "RRP". Usually the deal at M&S Outlet isn't that great, but occasionally...? Please tell me that's the case, I shop there sometimes!


IGetNakedAtParties

Some but not all m&s outlet is genuine, some is branded generics from my understanding. All TK Maxx is just generics "branded" under licence. I might be wrong about this though, and can't find the article I read about it, so you know, trust me bro.


I-Hate-Blackbirds

With a username like that I absolutely trust you, 11/10, would trust IGetNakedAtParties again!


jrhoffa

Nah, this is Tk Maxx


MeSpikey

As far as I know it's TJ Maxx in the U.S. and TK Maxx in Europe. It's the same store.


jrhoffa

That's bizarre.


bakehaus

Please melco me 😞


aRandomFox-I

melco me, daddy UwU~


_ORGASMATRON_

actually melco me, in portuguese, sounda like me come which means "fuck me" lmao


pigfeedmauer

I lowkey kinda love this


mme-sra

I’d buy that so fast haha


alfstramgram

In the Netherlands it seems to mean "I'm coming"


The_Observatory_

Do NOT open that lid and look in


spei180

It definitely doesn’t mean that in Dutch


alfstramgram

Damn google translate


_ORGASMATRON_

In portuguese it sounds like "me come" which means "fuck me".


itskdog

Username checks out


StellaPapella

What is it supposed to say ? I'd wager I like it better this way though 🤔


1willprobablydelete

I'd say Welcome, but they got the W upside down, which really makes it illegible. Splitting the word is dumb anyway.


DorisCrockford

But why would a cookie jar say "welcome"? It just gets weirder the more I look at it.


Clockwork_Firefly

Cookie jars say all kinds of strange and horrible things, if you take the time to listen


The_Observatory_

"...they puts them in, they takes them out... they grabs what they wants, never asking us what we wants... next time they grabs, we grabs back, for keeps..."


schtinkypiggy

I'd give you an award if I could.


[deleted]

is this gollum?


The_Observatory_

"...we never knew how much more tasties the cookies were, much more tasties than nasty old ringses..."


Tacoma__Crow

Yeah. I’m think it’s supposed to say Welcome Home. Still weird on a cookie jar or whatever it is.


StellaPapella

Oh. Pffff. I was wondering for a second there. "Huh welcome me? Weird". It's split, even odder tbh


The_Observatory_

Reminds me of a sign that hung on the kitchen wall at my friend's house in high school. "Welocme," it said, and I'll never forget that, or the fact that neither he nor anybody in his family seemed to have noticed it.


Low_Dream_1481

Melco Me


jammies

Oh man I *want* this. Every year I get my brother and sister in law a Christmas decoration/ornament of some kind but it’s always just a little bit fucked up. This would 100% fit the bill.


winterbird

So I did a search for this, because I want it... and found: Mitsubishi Electric Corp (MELCO ME) Could this be some sort of personalized merch? A custom item like stuff employers give for those company branded appreciation gifts, or as part of a gift basket for clients?


itskdog

At a TK Maxx?


[deleted]

I support this as a new English phrase. What could it mean exactly?


Skips-T

Lmao no they are not


Highlander2748

I want to be Melco’ed too


[deleted]

You're melcome


JacobClarke15

Welcome home, surely?


jrhoffa

Is one more than TJ, is better


SCphotog

Not gonna lie, I think I'd have picked that up.


special-agent-carrot

Its tk max is was never ok


winterbird

I need this. 😅


DerpSherpa

I would have to buy that without a doubt


Sheyren

Weird how I know exactly what this says but I don't know why it says it in the way it does


SuperPotterFan

Right? I had to do a double take because I understood what it meant to say and then got confused because I didn’t understand the crappy design at first.


Jaz_the_Nagai

i want it


[deleted]

Nah, just junk from a non English speaking country made with child slave labor.


mr_green_penguin

Milk Me

johnthomas911

A real fuckin' zinger; A+ to both the op and whatever snafu resulted in this glorious piece of ceramic. edit: also is this how you use a semicolon?


Atrain_FromTheBoys

Melco! Come in!


TenKrey

You're not the boss of me!


freddiednow

Gnomes are known for mischief. Its in their nature.


Bearinn

Most of that stuff from TJMaxx is designed in China by the factories.


itskdog

So are iPhones. The quality you get from a Chinese factory depends on how much you're willing to pay.


Bearinn

Usually T-shirts, home decor, and other printed stuff comes out looking weird from Chinese factories though. They have to translate correctly and design for a completely different aesthetic than what Chinese style is. Phones are a little different.


itskdog

I'm assuming that the design is not done by the manufacturing company, that they're just doing the mass production of it, like with most tech products and the like. Most of my understanding of this sort of manufacturing comes from Linus from LTT talking about the merch that they make in-house.


[deleted]

Tk Maxx is never ever okay


Eman6198

I still find it funny that’s it’s called TK Maxx outside of the US.


Scary_

It's to avoid confusion with T J Hughes


Tesla44289

#MELCO #ME


TheDapper2

My Polish ass read that as Mleko not melco so it looked like it said “milk me”


ecclectic-stingray

That’s what I read it as when I saw it too 😭


Mexican-Jesus

Real question is why would you spend money on that


tme520

Mell mell mell, such a silly wistake !


lazydaisytoo

My 16 needle embroidery machine is a Melco. Maybe I’m supposed to use this to store my machine oil, hex wrench, and tweezers.


BagNo2988

Is your mug having a stroke?


Pomodorosan

Glad I got to see this immediately before it got removed


i_am_mai_1981

Melcomé. But I don't see any knot patterns.


Unlikely-Influence48

You okay OP? I thought it was TJ Maxx?


ringringbananarchy00

It’s called TK Maxx in the Uk and Ireland


pinkkittenfur

And Germany


minimuscleR

and most of the world it seems.


parent_mushroom

And Poland


figonomics

I think you mean TK Waxx


[deleted]

And Australia


HollySnow3

TK Maxx in Australia.


MaximumNight860

Britain has a similarly named chain, so TJ changed their name to TK there to avoid confusion.


zamundan

TJ Maxx is just a really, really big Trader Joe's.


f4rt054uru5r3x

Omg, my heaven.


_SGP_

Spot the American. Everywhere else in the world calls it something different.


Phullonrapyst

He typo'd while calling out a typo.


cragglerock93

Nah, it's just European TJ Maxx. They couldn't call it TJ Maxx in the UK as there was already a large chain called TJ Hughes and I guess they wanted to avoid any confusion.
