This is such a neat market!

Love all the off-the-wall choices and organic stuff. I even found Haas
avocados and sirloin tri-tip steaks (which don't see Pennsylvania too
often).

Even found some Australian free-range hamburgers!?? I wonder if they're
really kangaroo. I doubt it, but bought a package anyway.

Reeds Ginger Beer... yeow, that's strong!

All those breads are great.

Nice to have Trader Joes a few minutes away! The local ACME supermarket
is going to lose alot of my business from now on.

It's about time!

Hi, Wish there was one here where I am in Alamogordo, NM. There is one
in Santa Fe, but this is just too darn far to drive just to visit this
shop solely.

If they did put one of these here in Alamogordo, it would probably close
in a month!
People here in this town are so goddamn cheap, if Wal-Mart's got
something for 10 cents less, they'll buy it there, and essentially
boycott the more expensive store.

That's what happened to Albertsons here. yes, Albertsons is generally
more expensive on everything, but they do carry a lot better 'brand'
products in general, and usally carry too, many ethnic/specialty
foods/cold cuts etc.

I really have a love/hate relationship with Wal-Mart. They are a
scourge. Mark

Would be really neat (as well as more informative) if we had a clue of where
*you* are . . .

Mark,

Albertson's is ACME's parent company. They do dumb sh*t like charge $2.00
per avocado and they're left to rot, at that price.

A buddy lives in Weed (high, up in the Rockies. I imagine it's the lay
of the land and walmart probably does win out, sadly.

Van,

In the interest of privacy, I'm where there wasn't a Trader Joes a few
minutes away.

Trader Joes website lists their stores by state. You can apply due
diligence to see if there's one where "you" are . . .

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake
when you make it again.

If you think your city and state are too fine grained for your security,
seek help.

I believe the most recent TJ's to open in Pennsylvania was in Media, PA
(about 15-20 miles from Philadelphia).

And believe me when I say that nothing has ever happened there and nothing
ever will.

Too young to know about COINTELPRO???

TJ's is about the *only* place we don't have here in the Houston area (no
TJ's in TX). No biggie, since we have pretty much everything else.

Strange that you weren't able to get Haas avocadoes and sirloin tri-tip
steaks before. Where do you live? Even the supermarkets in my
middle-of-nowhere hometown in PA (pop. 4,000) carry those.

> Too young to know about COINTELPRO???


In early 1971, the FBI's domestic counterintelligence program (code named
"COINTELPRO") was brought to light when a "Citizens Committee to Investigate
the FBI" removed secret files from an FBI office in Media, PA and released
them to the press. Agents began to resign from the Bureau and blow the
whistle on covert operations. That same year, publication of the Pentagon
Papers, the Pentagon's top-secret history of the Vietnam War, exposed years
of systematic official lies about the war.

See...even the FBI in Media doesn't know what they are doing. What a
backwards ass town.

Just don't bother with the canned crab.

I've never had crab that had zero flavor before, but they're
selling it.

Like eating confetti at a dollar an ounce.

I'm in Albany, NY. Think you can find me, smart-ass? Come on.

I just wondered which area was celebrating having a Trader Joe's. Who give
a **** about YOU?

You call me an idiot just for asking? What an asshole.

I totally agree that there is a ****ing idiot here, "his" name is also
a 4 letter word! :-) I suggest that you crawl back under your bridge
because I doubt if you're going to last to long with your sad-ass
attitude.

Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

I'm sure he'll love the idea!

About the only complaint is the aisles are super-narrow, inviting cart
collisions all the time, slowing down shopping. It may be by design. It
makes shopping a little more social?... "Sorry!", "After you" "Pardon me"

Another thing that is unusual. The checkout stands don't have the
conveyorbelts. The cashiers have to bend over to grab items out of the
carts. That must hurt after awhile.

Food Network's Paula Jean visited Trader Joe's just for the canned
crab to make her crab salad casserole (which didn't look too great).

My 17-year-old daughter has been working at Trader Joe's for a couple
of months now. She loves working there. I am considering taking a
part-time job on the weekends doing the demos.

I like many of the TJ's products such as the peeled shallots, the
cubed squash, the Niman Ranch beef, the cheap wine, the tomato-red
pepper soup, the Kashi cereal, the multi-seed crackers, the Boursin
cheese (half the price of Safeway), the Brussels sprouts, and heck, a
few other things.

My Trader's list includes real maple syrup inexpensive enough to use as
the sweetener in baked goods, jams, big inexpensive chocolate bars both
milk and dark, specialty candies, dried unsulphered apricots, pecans for
pecan waffles and other nuts such as walnuts and dried coconut. After 4
weeks of working in a wine and cheese shop, I am now turning up my nose
at Trader's cheese. It used to be fine.
