The thing that freaks me out about TJs:
- Their food is really good.
- Their food is pretty cheap.
- Their workers are intelligent and cheerful, and they get decent benefit.
In conclusion, TJs is obviously a cult.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My favorite TJ's thing, that I can't bring home with me, is the frozen steel-cut oatmeal. Inexpensive and nummy. Wish it would survive the flight home. I loved it when K-Big worked there - had the inside news on good new treats.
Now she works at White House-Black Market. I guess I should be happy I don't fit their clothes cause they are pretty cute, but expensive.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My cashier at the brand new TJs, a man in (I am guessing) his late 40s asked me how I liked the store, so I said "very nice! How do you like the store?", to which he replied "I like it. I really like having a job again."

The TJs I go to (Lincoln Ave.) is tiny. Maneuvering your shopping cart can be problematic when it's busy. Plus parking sucks.
That's the one I used to go to and parking does suck there.
I don't know why, I feel like ALL TJs have shitty parking. Or at least the ones I've been to. Except the one in Menlo Park, which has ample parking.
Oh man, back from my 48 hour training with Grace and it was a clusterfuck of stupid.

The TJ's in Alameda had decent parking.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Congrats Lisah!

Hmmm...maybe it's not the amount of parking. But TJs parking lots are always a pain in the ass. It might be the clientele more than the set up?

The new TJs has prety good parking, because it's in a strip annex to the mall that has some empty stores in it. The one is San Carlos has decent parking.
