Place has a good selection. Tight Parking.
My problem is with the staff, as this is my local Trader Joe's that I always go to since I live close by.
First off, at check-out w/ LONG lines they will initiate long conversations with customers.
Many times the guys will be nice and down to earth . . . to a female customer, asking her if she needs help. Then, I (just a normal dude) walk by, and it's a cold shoulder, they look down, away, or just make a face. Many times I have gone to take a food sample, the female behind the counter never acknowledges me, looks down, then to an older person will look up and smile, ""Ya wanna try?"" Happens w/ both guy or girl behind. Really? Is it ME??
What is the deal with hiring minorities with ghetto attitudes, in this case it's the Hispanics at this location?? Affirmative action is great, but why hire people who flip attitudes all the time, or selectively? and why are these Hispanics coming over from their ghetto parts of LA to give people who live in this area attitudes? I've never had a problem w/ an African-American at this location. The whites are okay, some have a flippy hipster attitude and also are selectively nice to females or the elderly.
