I have to disagree on both of those points. I think we consider
Safeway to be sub par service to Trader Joe's because we see fewer
people stocking shelves at Safeway and therefore have fewer people in
the aisles to ask for assistance. The smile factor is the same as is
the style of service once you find someone to help... and I've never
seen a produce employee at TJ's crack open anything to offer tastes on
the spur of the moment.
