I like Trader Joes and so do my kids. The staff is always available, helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. They should really pay their staff 2x what the workers at Kroger, Tom Thumb and Sun Fresh make because they are at least 5x better at what they do. If I didn't have to ever visit a regular grocery store again, I'd be happy as a clam.
The food at TJ's is reasonably priced and some of the items taste amazing. Standards for us include the frozen Mac n Cheese, Chocolate Chip cookies, Arnold Palmer, Mango Lemonade, Pasta Arribatta, and the Red Shrimp. We occasionally buy our fruit and veggies here as well, in addition to nuts and dried fruit.
Sometimes we'll try something new (like pickle flavored potato chips) and sometimes it will be bad. Other times we'll buy some breadsticks or fruit and they'll go bad before we can eat them, but TJ's generous return policy always ensures that my satisfaction as a customer comes first. In fact, sometimes they'll even recommend I try something new and tell me to bring it back if I don't like it. Just imagine hearing that at your local grocery store without falling to ground in shock.
Good food, friendly service, reasonable prices. It's not rocket science, folks. It's Trader Joes.
