Having been in a T-J’s twice....I’ll just say that they go out of their way to be friendly. Maybe they recruit that way....maybe they train employees to some degree. But if you were measuring grocery friendliness, they rank near the top.

Now, that said...if you were ranking on high cost and inflated prices, they are also near the top.
