  • I made a trip out to this mysterious place called Crocker with a friend because we were hoping to get a pumpkin cheesecake or some such dessert for NYE. I hadn't been to Trader Joe's since moving up to Ohio and really I've been trying to stay away from TJ's since they refused to sign onto the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' Fair Food program. Anyway- we called and found out that TJ's would be closing at 6pm on NYE (a Saturday) which is just nuts in my opinion and we zoomed way out there to Crocker with our list in hand. We knew what we needed, were ready to grab it before the absurd closing time and it was a go! Never mind the toddlers and their mini carts being poorly minded by their adults. We quickly surveyed the scene and split up to make the best of our time. I went to the cheese section (not to be confused with the yogurt/ milk section) and found that my choices of brie were tiny brie bites and small logs of brie. That was a bit disappointing. But I had a list and a time limit so I continued around to the next place- bread. I grabbed the bread and moved on past some toddlers with carts and ridiculous parents there of towards another part of the store. I needed to get down an aisle but a really chatty TJ employee had monopolized the area- luckily there was a mid aisle entrance. My friend and I reconvened near the dog food and remarked that the dog on the bag looked like my dog. And then we became part of an episode of Portlandia. You see- the chatty TJ employee and finally finished his conversation with the others and came over to us to inquire what was being fed to our dogs. Mind you we were simply looking at the photo on the bag because it looked like my dog. I get my dog food at Pet-Tique. Chatty TJ guy launched into a very suave up-sale during which some lady piped in that she knew of a better food than he. Both were super high priced brands that neither he nor I could afford. The amount of privilege got to be far more than I could possibly handle and I had to walk away. My pal isn't the sort of person to call someone out on that and I was in no mood... He finally got away and we wrapped up our trip (short a few things they didn't have) and walked toward the registers. We got in line- maybe there was one guy in front of us. But then employee of the year, chatty TJ guy called over to us that he could check us out just a couple of registers away. Out of nowhere comes a couple of women and chatty TJ abandons us and without so much as a look walks off with these customers. WHAT?!?!? Another TJ guy noticed my confusion/ astonishment and immediately walked us over to his register where we actually did get checked out and left the place. I don't know why I'd ever go back (Candy Cane Jo-Jo's?) but I have to say that I've got minimal motivation.
