I went in to buy a coffee. I often use bigger cups to make iced coffees at Seven Eleven. When I got to the counter, the dirt bag behind the counter told me that he would not sell it to me and then ripped the $5 dollar bill out of my hand and said that he would not give it back. I then told him that I did not want the coffee and to hand me back my $5 dollars. After we exchange some words and he threatened to throw his phone at me and call the cops (which I encourage him to do since he stole from me). I just figured that I was the bigger person, took my coffee and walked out. DO NOT SHOP HERE. THIS GUY IS A DIRT BAG!!!! read more

I arrived at the store today after my order said ready but I couldn't use the I've arrived feature for some reason. Instead I went into the store, spoke to several people, waited, was scolded by the staff twice, given no instructions on how to leave which resulted the theft protection locking my cart.

I especially want to thank Octavio and the butcher team. I had a specific order that I requested around 7:00 a.m. Octavio asked for my name and told me it would be ready around 8:00 a.m. I even tried to tell him not to worry about it and that I would just request it when I returned later. I ended up coming back around 11:00 a.m., asked about my order, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had been filled and was ready for me! What amazing customer service and follow-through! Honestly, I shouldn't have been surprised because the butcher team consistently comes through for all of my requests--whether it's specific pork chops, burger grind, or other special cuts. The entire Stater Bros. team consistently exceeds my expectations. I even witnessed a manager helping the restocking team. When someone thanked him, he simply said, "I'm helping out." That really says a lot about the culture and teamwork in this store. Thank you, Octavio, and thank you to the entire butcher team for always taking care of your customers. Your hard work and commitment to excellent customer service do not go unnoticed! You have definitely earned a very satisfied and loyal customer!

It's near laguna woods and I'm not elderly but I'm concerned how they may treat ppl who are older than me since around here is laguna woods where most ppl prob over 55 that live around this Trader Joe's . I come here since it's on way home from work. It Seems like mostly teens or college age kids working here which is fine but they aren't friendly and not nice overall . Maybe some are here and there but it's annoyed behavior mostly like another person said on here . I think Trader Joe's employees have to ask "what are u doing this weekend?" since many do in all different locations . I didn't want to answer much due to going to something political and didn't want to talk politics since it's not an easy subject , and I'm going to a book club and some other stuff . At the end of packing the food and charging me , the checker gal said "sleep well !" Wtf it's a Friday night and not going to bed yet ! That seemed to be a condescending comment .. thinking I don't have much going on this weekend when I just felt awkward explaining what I'm doing -not her biz anyway . I asked what she's doing and she said working here . Well sounds like u have a party going on, chickie.. (yes sarcastically ) . I'm over 45 but always have stuff going on so .. really !!? Was she trying to allude to maybe a fact that I look tired ? It was a long work day and week but geez . What a weird thing to say. I feel maybe there's some ageist behavior going on here and like I said I am not elderly but older than the employees that work here for sure . I really hope they can improve this smug behavior ..it's really not cool . Two other times I came here , bad experiences . This wasn't a bad experience as much as a strange one . The other two times and I think it was same girl employee -not the checker tonight but same girl twice that gave me attitude .. I asked about a gift card and if I could use it for food I just bought because I left in car . She snapped at me when I came back with card. It was just a question.. I wasn't trying to pay with it or something since I already paid without card but I just thought it could be reimbursed since I found card ! My bad . Not a horrible question or something . I get it , u can't do that no need to be ahole about it. Not too long ago , I went in store and this employee was at cards area and stocking them I had to step around her and she hardly moved out of way . She said what are u looking for and felt she was up in my biz a bit and then I said something like well u said those cards were here and she said I didn't and it almost turned into an argument and I said let's just drop it and walked away Then I'm sure she went to tell on me with other workers . I heard her complaining and then laughing with some others I don't think I saw her there in store this time . Maybe the same smug dude who looks maybe 16 . But actually he seems nice so maybe I misjudged . Strange energy here . And not very nice energy. I usually always love Trader Joe's but these peeps are awkward and not socially cued in or kind imho . I'll try and avoid coming here but I have to go sometimes . Someone needs to talk to these young adults about their poor ppl skills just saying . Some Young adult employees were nicer during the pandemic they complemented me on my nails . I guess they have gotten jaded since then and seems like more the gals ! The customers are a bit odd too I have to say . I will be avoiding coming here most I can but sometimes can't avoid it . I miss when the store was on other side of lot near woodys diner . Who knows what's going on at this store . Be more clued in with customers and kind please geez
