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.

I find the Trader Joe's employees to be quite friendly and helpful. It is a
drastic difference from the surly employees at my local supermarket.

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'll give it another try. Maybe next paycheck.

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.

I tend to go a bit overboard on TJ's too. When I worked on Long Island we
would shoot over to the one in Plainview during lunch. No one complained
that we took longer than usual because they knew we would share our goodies.

One TJ product that I loved but they don't stock anymore is the artichoke
salsa. It was wonderful on chicken.
