Trader's Joe - while I like it because it is simplistic and inexpensive compared to Whole Foods is always slam packed! There is only 5 or 6 isles...can be tough if you try to go at peak times.

 

I'll tell you one scenerio that is similar where it can get ugly... at the whole foods near me they do not use the "take a number" thing but instead let people fend for themselves at the prepared foods area. Well, when it gets busy and they only have like 2 people behind that counter for some stupid reason people get pretty damn aggressive. Grown men doing a dennis rodman box out on small women...it's pretty pathetic.

They tried out the take a number thing but sometimes they don't use it, so people don't know what to do and it's a total clusterfuck. I would like them to just use the damn thing strictly but they have this "Whole foods clientele are above this" mentality

 

Love Trader Joe's and this is the third time I've heard it mentioned today. And there aren't any where I live
