First off, let me state that the only reason why Trader Joe's didn't score a five in my book is that I am totally grossed out by their unattended samples. Being a total germ-phobe, I was disgusted to watch person after person dig their hands into an open jar of chocolate covered berries for sampling. It was also disgusting to watch how they dug into the whole tin and took way too much to eat. I think they need an employee to oversee the samples...
I like this store, but it cannot serve as your primary supermarket simply because it doesn't have enough selection. Items often stay out of stock for a while, and sometimes what's available isn't good. I'm not sure if they take coupons, but I don't think anything they sell would have coupons anyway. Checkout is a breeze and the staff are nice though. Sadly, prices are almost as bad as at Whole Foods. (but it's still quite okay when you count every item carefully... love their snack foods.)
