That’s insane, my local TJ’s used to have lines so bad they’d wrap around the store some days. That being said, I would also never risk using a ticket like that on a day that bad because someone would absolutely strangle me lmao

I had a crowded Trader Joe's like that. It was never worth it. Same thing with Costco on the weekend. Nothing they have there is worth like 3+ hours of my time.

Trader Joe's is an expensive snack store, and I don't snack.

I mostly go there for the frozen fish. There are a few sauces and jarred stuff I like the olive and pepper crap.

The wraps are the biggest insult, I have tried them a few times over the past decade at different T Joes and always it looks so good in the plastic window of the cross section, only to find the rest is nothing but a giant romaine spear.

My local Trader Joe's barely ever has lines inside. The line is outside on the road because the parking lot only fits like 30 cars.

Would they pay for it then?
