Nancree, I am happy to see that you are back. I missed you and asked
about you a couple of days ago. Mostly, I wanted to thank you for
sending me a Trader Joe's. :o)

In the short time since the place has opened, I have been there
twice already. Last week the wine shop opened in the same
neighborhood, but I didn't go there yet. Perhaps this coming Friday.



I am dying to check it out but last time I went down there was a line to get
in. Are there still lines?

I love the Trader Joes on Long Island (where I live) but with working in the
city it would be easier to shoot downtown during the week to get my fix.

Happy Easter!

The first time I went there was Opening Day. There was a long line outside, before and after the doors opened, so much so, the store opened earlier than planned.

The aisles inside the store were blocked with customers and shopping carts and the check-out line snaked all through the store, but moved quickly, as every cash register was in use. As for the blocked aisles, there were so many employees in the store, all you had to do was ask one and he or she would bring you the desired item or help you find it.

When I went there the following week, the store had a normal/busy amount of customers and everything went very smoothly. I have never seen a more helpful crew in any other store of this kind and with all the help that is visible there, I cannot understand how the prices can be so reasonable.

I am planning to go there this coming week. The only problem is, that I cannot carry everything home that I would like to purchase. I take along a small, collapsible wheeled basket, but that is still not enough for me. To take a taxi would be very expensive, as I live too far away from TJ's. From what I was told, it is a small store, much smaller than many other cities.
