About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Trader Joe’s one morning, an announcement came over the intercom: ‘If you see someone carrying more than three bags of our famous chocolate-covered pretzels, please inform management immediately.’ Soon after, a delivery driver approached the manager with a puzzled look on his face. 'Sir,' he said, 'I just saw someone pushing a shopping cart filled with nothing but empty boxes.' The manager laughed and replied, 'That must be our new secret agent—making sure no one hoards too many pretzels!'
2. At Trader Joe’s late one night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he heard a voice whispering behind him. He turned around, but there was no one there. Suddenly, an old lady in a red sweater appeared from nowhere and asked for help finding almond butter. The driver smiled, thinking it was just another Trader Joe’s prank, and pointed her towards the nut butter aisle. Turns out, she was his neighbor, who’d been lost in thought while pushing her cart.
3. At Trader Joe’s, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you guys ever run out of peanut butter?’ The cashier replied, ‘Not in my lifetime!’ A delivery driver once showed up with an empty truck and said, 'Sorry, guys—looks like I forgot to load the peanut butter again!' A regular overheard him and quipped, 'Well, at least it wasn’t your lifetime supply!'
4. At Trader Joe’s, a regular exclaimed aloud as he approached the checkout line: ‘I thought they were out of those!’ As it turned out, the items were indeed restocked just minutes earlier by a delivery driver who had mistakenly left them in his truck. The entire store erupted in laughter when an embarrassed employee announced over the intercom: 'And don’t forget to check your vehicles before leaving!'
