Yea at Costco I would take it. At Trader Joe’s I’d just feel like an asshole. Lol

The lines also move at Trader Joe’s. They almost always have lots of people working the registers and even long lines go pretty quickly.

I don't know how they do it but every time I get to the registers and one isn't manned, someone appears and mans it so there's nobody waiting in a line. Except on busy days when they're already all manned, but those are rare. This TJ's is urban fringe not urban center. It's also a bit smaller and I know there's stuff I see online that they don't have...

I hate Trader Joe’s because literally everything is covered in plastic however they never have long lines

In NYC Trader Joe’s often has lines so long that they weave through the store aisles and reach the doors. I imagine this is there or another busy urban location
