everytime i play animal crossing i feel like there should be a little trader joe’s in there. something about trader joe’s makes me feel like i’m Jim Carrey in the Truman Show. it feels like it was created by aliens and they placed it there cause that’s what they think human grocery stores look like.
I'm talking Cobble Hill TJ's when the workers have those big signs that tell you where the end of the line is and they're herding you like cattle. When there's so many people that you just join the line upon entry and get to weave through every aisle in a single-file line. This is how every grocery store should work regardless of how many people there are. I promise you there is a natural flow and intended route through the store and it prevents traffics jams and long lines and minimizes your time spent wandering.
Food is getting damn expensive. I usually buy a grocery giftcard for my friends favorite grocery store. It seems like it’s not thoughtful but it’s so useful. Or you could cook a meal for them.
