I had no intention of coming in. The tiny pantry in my tiny kitchen is full, but I was shopping at…read moreTJ Maxx next door and thought 'let's just see.' I was impressed! There are more cashiers than I've seen in any other Trader Joe's. Accounting for what they knew would be a high-trafficked store, the aisles are wide. Plenty of merchandise. Clean, well-stocked. Same prices I paid when I shopped at Trader Joe's in Roswell GA though -- and it may be my imagination -- the bag of frozen Gyoza Potstickers (something I always buy) seems to have shrunk. The First Avenue bus is right outside. Convenient! I would avoid rush hour and weekends when the store could get super busy. I don't want to struggle with purchases on a crowded bus. But I'll surely be back, mid-week, mid-day.

It's hilarious and comforting to read the numerous reviews by others who experience rudeness here…read more I worked in customer service throughout college and no matter how I felt I always treated customers like royalty or at the very least with decency, not because I had to do so, but because it felt like the right thing to do. Treat people kindly. Be courteous. Golden rule. You never know whose day you can be making (or ruining). You know. I won't say much else. The other reviews say plenty. Also, two stars rather than one because at least they are open 24/7.

Some of the workers seem friendly and great. Others not so much. When you can get the same goods for the same price or a lower price within a five minute walk, the customer service misses add up.
