It’s about to get a lot better to shop at TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods. TJX Companies, the parent business of these well-known stores, has put in place a new security measure to stop theft and make shopping better overall. The employees at these shops will now have body cameras, which is meant to make the stores safer for both customers and employees.
A TJX representative said that the body cams are just one part of the company’s many safety measures. “We’re committed to supporting a safe store environment through various policies, training programs, and procedures,” they said. The cameras will only be worn by trained workers, and the footage will only be given to the police or when asked to by a subpoena.
Carol Spieckerman, an expert in retail, explains why this move was made. With their constantly changing stock, TJX shops can be like treasure hunts, making it hard to keep track of what you’re looking for. By adding this new safety step, possible risks will be reduced, making shopping safer.
While it’s not clear when the cameras will be turned on, one thing is for sure: TJX Companies is taking safety seriously. As the retail world changes, it’s good to see companies putting the health and happiness of their workers and customers first.
