About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Trader Joe’s, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Every time he checked out, the cashier seemed to know exactly how many avocados he bought last week. Curious, our regular asked the cashier if she was keeping tabs on his purchases. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘No, sir, I just recognize your face from that avocado delivery guy you always tip so well!’
2. At Trader Joe’s, every afternoon around closing time, an old lady would appear with her shopping cart filled to the brim. One day, over the intercom came a mysterious announcement: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our most loyal customer reminds you—please return your shopping carts when finished.’ It turned out she was just a regular who always forgot to put away her cart. The next day, everyone watched as she slowly pushed it back towards the entrance, muttering something about needing one more thing. A delivery driver joked that maybe she was stockpiling for Armageddon, while a neighbor quipped she should get a medal for loyalty. And so, every evening, the same scene played out until someone finally asked if she needed help—only to hear her reply, ‘No, I’m just waiting for my second cart.’
3. At Trader Joe’s, a delivery driver once found a mysterious package in the back of his truck. Curious, he opened it to discover… nothing but a note that read: ‘Open only if you love TJ’s as much as I do.’ The delivery driver laughed and thought, ‘Whoever left this must be a big fan!’ He took the note inside, and from then on, whenever anyone asked him why he worked so hard for Trader Joe’s, he’d just smile and say, “Because someone loves TJ’s even more than I do.”
4. At Trader Joe’s, after hours of shopping, customers occasionally hear a strange announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our supply of mystery boxes has mysteriously multiplied.’ Upon hearing this, everyone rushes towards the back aisle, only to discover that the mystery boxes are nothing more than bags of discounted nuts and dried fruits. A regular sighs, ‘Well, it was worth checking out!’ Meanwhile, a delivery driver whispers to his colleague, ‘Guess they found another way to get us to try their stuff.’
