  • I saw something at my latest visit to Joe's that made my heart sink. The storefront right next to this store that used to be an arts-crafts-hobby store is being remodeled into a Sprout's. How will a Trader Joe's and Sprouts do as neighbors? I think TJ's will most likely not survive. I will not go to Sprouts since they sell the same wax coated veggies you buy at Food City, and I've purchased meats at Sprouts that could not be used, once they got home and opened, almost the entire side of a cut of meat was a shiny sheet of gristle. Sprouts ripped me off for the last time but I think they'll run TJ's out of business as neighbors. I learned something about Trader Joe's: The frozen food truck arrives late in the morning. If there is something you need from that aisle that is important for you to go home with, consider waiting until after 1pm before you go there, gives them time to stock the freezer display units. The new electronic debit-credit terminals are SLOW! It adds almost a minute to each transaction regardless if your card as a chip or not. I understand why so many other retailers have delayed or halted deploying these terminals. When I was there today it was failing everyone, not able to access the network or something so transactions had to be repeated over and over. The person ahead of me at the checkout had to re-swipe and touch buttons three times before it would work. I like Trader Joe's. It seems to be optimized to manipulate women into impulse buys with chocolate and other sugary goodies all over the store and stacked high at the check-outs. I do like their selection of veggies, meats, and wines. I just wish the overall grocery selection was bigger. Being a regular here forces me to also be a regular at Fry's to buy all the stuff TJ's doesn't carry. From my experience as a 10 year customer of a few different TJ stores, if you buy organic veggies at Fry's and something similar at TJ, the stuff at TJ will be the first to start to spoil by many days. I prefer to buy most veggies at other stores than TJ due to this problem. FYI, if you like their Charles Shaw brand of wines, they're made by Bronco Wine Company in the central valleys of north-central California. There's a nice article on Wikipedia about that company.
