I had never been to Trader Joe's before and a visit to one in Seattle was my first experience. I can't really imagaine shopping anywhere else now. Their items are DELICIOUS and CHEAPER than normal grocery stores. The workers seems extremely nice and helpful and laid back. It seems like it would be a good place to work. The down side is the crowd TJ's packs in, especially on the weekend. I try my best to go during the day in the week. It won't take quite as long and it makes it easier to shop around.
