Just wait until you have kids. Then TJM and Marshalls become goddamned amusement parks.

Oh my Marshalls runs growing up were legendary. Ralph Lauren polos for days.

I haven't been inside a TJ Maxx in a really long time, but I bet I still know how they smell.

It always smells dusty somehow.

Dust is one part of the equation. The others probably rely on organic chemistry.

There's a grocery store here in VA called LIDL. They have a more or less conventional grocery store setup, but there's like one aisle that's essentially TJ Maxx. I can't really explain how weird this is properly. Sometimes, they have something like 40 pairs of size 7 shoes of a particular brand, heavily discounted. Other times they have even weirder stuff nobody wants.
