New in-town TJ's? Woot! Now to see if the Metro goes there.
Trader Joe's DC report:
It's on 25th and L, just a few blocks from the Foggy Bottom metro stop. It was bigger than I expected, but not huge -- one aisle of fruits and vegetables and fancy cheese, a bakery section and a dairy section in the back, a freezer aisle with open freezers that really don't seem to be keeping the food frozen, and two or three aisles of other grocery stuff. Plus a wine section which looked pretty decent. They had a pretty good selection of most stuff, though they seemed to be having trouble keeping the shelves stocked -- there were employees restocking the shelves everywhere, and still a bunch of empty places that they hadn't gotten to yet. It was pretty crowded, but they had the lines going pretty quickly.
I got a pretty good assortment of stuff. They didn't have exactly what I was looking for (kale), but I got an OK substitute (chard.) I also got some blueberry cheese, which looks yummy, though I haven't tried it yet.
What am I doing this weekend? Curling up with cramps. Joy. At least I don't have to talk to customers during the worst of it.
Absolutely, Lee.
Oh, I worked out that tabbed format and sent the super-spiffed status report out to upper management. I think it was lovely. I should get a raise.
Of course, I cornered one of the big bosses about his use of the terms "static" and "dynamic" in reference to content. I believe semantics are very important for consistent communications. At least here. The industry already defined them.
I am attending 3 yearold's birthday party. there will be a nature walk and a craft (birdfeeder). /this is why i have kid birthday party anxiety,
Also, my kid peed on the floor in a fancy shop tonight. The owner was very nic; I was mortified.

Oh, my. Gesture of aggression, or accident?
Hello Kitty muffler.
Little of both. She didn't take off her pants and squat or anything, but her accidents have a flavor of rebellion. Luckily on a wood floor.
I was totally imagining a scarf.
I already have pictures to contribute. . .

And you've sent me ones that qualify before too. I just need to work out how to label and present it so I don't get creepy approaches and pictures.
It hasn't been too bad so far. I had one guy send me a naked picture of himself, and one other try and ask me about how much I like men's feet. As long as any fetishists don't over-share, over-inquire, or over-demand, I'm good.

Thanks for the report Hil. That sounds pretty much like the Annapolis store, except for the wine. In other words, not big enough for all one's grocery needs. It's so annoying that Maryland TJs don't carry wine.
