Trader Joe’s is my favorite place to shop. I love the whole vibe there. The look, the mood, the employees. [I also love Target which, coincidentally, also starts with T. Weird.]
One day, at Trader Joe’s, an employee saw me debating over which cookies to buy. I had it narrowed down to two. This guy came over and asked me if I needed help. I told him I’d never had either of them and couldn’t decide (shocker since I question everything). He said, ‘Why don’t you try them?‘ and proceeded to rip open both boxes right there in front of me so I could have a taste. Who does that? This guy.
p.s.— Then there was the guy at checkout who gave me my change and said, ‘May the force be with you.’

Ok, based on this, I may have to starting hitting Trader Joe’s more often. 😃👍🏻

They’re always so nice there. I once had someone go out back to get me a fresher salad, too. Even though the one on the shelf was fine.

That’s pretty great. And I thought customer service was utterly dead. I’d shop there all the time if they were that helpful.

It’s the best place I know for great customer service. It may be the only place I know. Although I have come across a few great people at Target, believe it or not.

I’m usually in and out so fast, they’d have to play security video in slo-no to even be aware I was there. 😏

Ha! Yes, Target…or any other store for that matter. Much too peopley in there. Not that I mind being on…film…mind you. 😏

Oh how I wish Trader Joe’s was a little closer … on the other hand, I always end up with three healthy things and a cartful of candy, cookies and snacks, so … 😜

Yeah, I definitely do tend to snatch up a few ‘naughty’ items. I have to pace myself… 🙂

I love both stores, too. I saw a taste test recently that said their butter was the best for baking — and the cheapest, too.

That’s interesting! I had no idea. I’ll have to go get some of their butter and bake something immediately! 😀
