Yeah. Most blandness beer I have ever tasted in my life and that is saying something. But to the point the business model makes a lot more sense with everything they sell there.

I find Trader Joe's disorienting. It's so hard for me to actually grocery shop there. It doesn't help that my local one was always hella busy and had a constant line you had to wait in just to park in the parking lot.

Yeah they gave me attitude like I wasn't good enough for them to shop there and I haven't gone back since. I'm cool with Albertsons plus they always have good skate spots in back too

Yes. Drink more beer.

Looking at his again it is kind of an enigma. The guy that created it, and having shopped some in Seattle and Boise, they have one SLC but is Shria Law here, was amusing. How batshit crazy was this guy?
I kind of get now that I am in more of space of mind to get it but how it took off as a national franchise makes some sense, but at the same time, the chain is just weird. Which doesn't mean it is bad.
Just go in stoned or on a psychedelic and it is just strange. Even the employees have this little grin on their faces for some reason and I don't think I am making this up I just really noticed this with a heightened consciousness.
Yes, their brands suck but are cheap yet still, god, I still haven't spent any of my stimulus money. I don't know what I am trying to say. Like trying to explain something to someone when on lsd and they are drunk. But it works. I just can't put the pieces together as why it does.

meh it all mostly sourced wherever cheapest. Its just all that whole foods or health food shit should actually be cheap af cuz its just all raw vegetables and shit idfk. I never understood why one company didn't just undercut all them but I guess this video is kinda right and trader Joe's is kinda that but not really some stuff should be so cheap and its just not.

And yes. Drinking more beer is a great idea and am doing so now. And will continue. Just not with their brand.
I just like the quirkyness of the places and states. I have never been treated rudely even going in for a six pack of their finest. God it is horrid. But still they just treated me with unfeighned respect. They were enjoying their job. Wow.
Go to a Walmart and see the crowd and employees and how much hatred is in the air. Costco is great if you have a family and Kirkland is quality. Just can't eat that much.
Hope in the afterlife the founder of this place is enjoying his trip down the river at disneyland animal land. Guy had to be a hippie. R.I.P. man. You made a really enjoyable chain to me.

You may be right.
