This is not my usual Trader Joe's, however I was in the area & needed some groceries so I went shopping here. There's a elevator & escalator that leads you to the lower level where the supermarket is. Since this is in Brooklyn, there is no parking available unless you find a spot on the street & parking is scarce as it is in most of NYC metropolitan areas.
The supermarket itself was fine. It's a fairly nice size & all the TJ's are pretty much set up the same way. There were associates on the floor if you needed help as well. Now the main reason for my rating was two things. The TJ's I go to in Long Island, doesn't require bringing bags, however this one did or else you had to pay per bag. Since TJ's always give out paper bags, the "plastic bag ban" wouldn't apply here because the bags are paper, so why should anyone have to pay for bags? I was a little annoyed at that because like I mentioned, I was doing real food shopping here & because some of the items are heavy, I needed double bags. I also mentioned to the cashier (as I always do to all of them) "please don't make my bags too heavy" he said ok, however continued to over pack my bags. He was putting 3 juices, vegetables & canned/bottled items all in one bag & that's just too heavy. So as he was packing the bags, I said it again & I asked for some bags to make my bags he was packing lighter. Smh
Chances are I would never have to come here again, but if I did it would be for something quick like a item or two, but NEVER again for my actual food shopping.
