It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's been awhile since I've been to a TJs, so feel free to correct me, but I remember it having mostly packaged food-- lots of obscure imports and inhouse brands. But not a ton of fresh foods. So it doesn't have the same kind of cult of superiority like, well, WF or Dean & Delucas or Balduccis. It reminds me of Pier One, of all things. But the packaged food is tasty, cheap, and hard to find elsewhere, hence its popularity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Anyone ever made coffee with one of these?

See, we don't even get those because of Md's liquor laws!

The ones here have fresh fruit and vegetables and meats and breads.

My TJs has vegetables, but no, it's not where I'd go for veggies. What they have is lots of inhouse packaged food, as bon says. It's good quality, a wide variety, and they often come up with new stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, so that definitely is more upscale than most of the stuff in the immediate surroundings of my future new grocery store that won't be a TJ's.

In NY, you won't be able to get Two Buck Chuck, though right-- because you can't sell wine in a grocery store. (It also seems like you can't sell mixers in a liquour store, although I don't know if this is a practice or part of the law)

The imported wine selection is a draw. That's what we went there for in college.

Oh my god, I want one of those.

They're going to have a seperate entrance for the wine store -- unlike the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle which had to close theirs.
