I think Trader Joe’s is the worst excuse for a supermarket I have ever seen.
If you like to cook, don’t shop there because everything is already cooked or already seasoned.
Well Eeor then don't shop there. They have the happiest customer base of any grocery chain anywhere, with the possible exception of Wegmans. My wife says going to Trader Joe's is like going to a party - everybody is always in such a good mood….shoppers and staff.
I already rained on the Wegman’s parade so tried to refrain from the Trader Joe’s parade. Until you brought it up.
Finally stopped at the TJs near us. Let’s just say I was unimpressed, and extra depressed that they didn’t have the vegetarian marshmallows as our local organic marts do. That’s all we wanted, but I was expecting a big place with lots of specialty areas and so on. It was not only small in area but I could see over all the shelving in the place. No real specialty counters. We have 3 local organics in the same area and they are all more impressive, especially the true individual businesses. If we had a Whole Foods in the area, I’d go there before TJs. Been to one a few times that’s 45 min away, and it is better.
