I haven’t been in a while but I will have to remind myself around the holidays to pick up a Racine Kringle.

Definitely better than Aldi
Fun fact:
Trader Joe’s is owned and operated by Aldi Nord (North).
The Aldi we know is owned and operated by Aldi Sud (South).
The North and South refer to post WW2 Germany. The brothers disagreed on the sale of alcohol so they split. Google it

They got a strong female customer talent base. Lots of hot college girls. Lots of hot milfs. Women who should be wearing yoga pants…. Unlike walmarks. I like Trader Joe’s.

If I were you, I'd post this on Facebook.

It is really not so much being around these folks as figuring out how we like the same place. It is a really odd crossover for me.
This may be surprising to you but people that are different than you also require food for sustenance.

I buy one thing from Trader Joe’s. The pre marinated fajitas are outstanding.

Mine, in central Houston, is not easy in the slightest. Tiny, crammed parking lot with small spaces, small store.. I was there today to try to pick up flowers to take to a friend, the line was wrapped around (360 degrees) the entire store. It started and ended in the produce section. I turned on my heel and left.
It is usually one of the few places left in Houston, other than bus stops and airports, where you are guaranteed to see many masked people.

I like it in theory. But the parking lot at the one in BR really pisses me off. So I mostly just avoid it. We have better, locally owned options. Unless you’re looking for something super specific. They do have some great random stuff at TJ’s that you can’t get elsewhere.

I've never had an issue there and rather enjoyed when I had a route where it was right there.
Only qualm was they had a troon working there for a while

I thought the paradox was more employees standing around chatting than actual customers

I've seen a lot of top material at TJ's. I prefer Sprouts though.

That's a great people watching place. Literally all kinds coming and going.

I've been there 2 or 3 times and... its just not my crowd. I felt out of my environment there. I know people like it and that's cool, but I am just not the "hey man its cool. Everyone loves everyone. You can go ahead of me man, its cool. Can you reach me some Kale and those frozen veggie burgers. Thanks man. Its cool bro" type person.

Yeah but you always get the good parking spot.

I wish. All the lazy fricks usually have them taken. But I don't worry about that, I park towards the back of the parking lot because idiots don't know that the spots with blue hash marks isn't a parking spot.
I had to go somewhere in walker the other day and they had these two poles, one on each end of the blue hash marks where cars couldn't park. Everywhere needs to start getting those.

Good for you for trying to assimilate.
