<div>Hi, <br/>I'm a journalist and I was wondering whether anyone who works at Trader Joe's (or indeed any other supermarket) might help me with a story I am working on on expired foods. I'm looking for information on how stores treat outdated food. What do they do with it, how do they dispose it and whether they just relabel it and sell it to unsuspecting customers. <br/>I'd be really grateful for any insights! <br/>Thanks <br/>Nadia</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>Villa Carlotti, in a blue bottle. Not sure exactly what it was when I grabbed it, but the price was right. OMG - it is definitely a new favorite. I hope they continue stocking it through the holidays. <br/>Light, not too sweet, with some mild bubbles that make it very celebratory. Unfortunately, my ailing corkscrew finally bit the dust after opening this last bottle. I'll have to find another one before I can enjoy toasting with this again. <br/>Hmmm... wonder if I have any screw top vinos laying anywhere around here? <br/>:-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>I am a bit concerned about this product as it does not state it's CFUs (Colony forming units) and states nothing about "live" cultures vs dead bacteria. It does state that it contains "4 Billion Organisms at time of Manufacture". However, this does not guarantee that these organisms are alive. The bottle also states that it should be stored in a cool, dry place. I do know that Trader Joe's looses a lot of the quality of many of their products due to their methods for transporting their products. Often their produce is old and moldy (due to not being refrigerated and sitting too long on their docks or at the store's docks before being put away correctly. I often need to return bad milk - even though the date on the carton is not yet reached.) <br/> <br/>Therefore, I am concerned that this Probiotic product is not what it appears to be on the title. Due to the unfair labeling laws in this country it is easy for vitamin manufacturers to deceive buyers into buying products that are not really what is stated on the label. You must study the labeling laws to know how to read consumer labels on products. <br/> <br/>I suspect that this product does not contain live cultures and that after the time of manufacture the culture dies. If you research these Probiotic products elsewhere you will find that many of them do state the CFUs and that it contains live cultures. <br/> <br/>I would really appreciate a statement by the company to clear this. However, I do not believe that Trader Joe's is actually in the vitamin business and therefore is not concerned with being clear. I am sure that they purchase their vitamin line from a different company - and we know nothing about them. They are just a grocery store who is more concerned with their sales volume and not the quality of their vitamins. They are also not a health food store which sometimes has better quality vitamins. I have been told by people who study vitamins and supplements and by plumbers that one of the worst drain clogging substances there are - are the undissolved vitamin tablets that just pass through whole and do not actually break down in our systems. I understand that virtually all the cheap vitamins do this. <br/> <br/>I think we are deceived by Trader Joe's low priced vitamins. We need to research farther before we deem them REAL vitamins and nutrients.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 5 replies </div>

<div>If you enjoy meat that's organic and raised without pesticides, and hormones and fed vegetarian feed only, I noticed my local TJ's has started selling one pound squares of organic ground beef at $4.99 a pound,. They also sell beef from Sommers farm, but at $10 a pound, it's a bit of a slurge..

<div>So, the other night, I saw a jar of 'satay peanut sauce' or something - it is a short widemouth jar. Any chance it is close to the TJ's peanut sauce (in a salad dressing shaped bottle) that they discontinued a few years ago? I've had some good luck with making my own out of half a jar of plain hoisin sauce, adding about an equal amount of smooth peanut butter, and a dash of ginger, lemon juice and water if needed to thin it out more. <br/>I have extremely low tolerance of spicy hot, so I'm leary of using things labeled Thai or Indian, cuz there's usually added peppery spice in those. <br/> <br/>I bought it, just in case. I'll post a review when I try it. Then again, I bought a jar of pesto sauce about 3 years ago, and THAT is still in my cupboard. I'm so inquisitive in the store, but boring at the stove. ;-)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Trader Joe's used to have such good customer service. Lately, at different TJ's locations, I've had checkers that completely ignore you while they chat with the bagger or the checker or some passing employee. If there's no separate bagger, they will often leave you to bag your own groceries, not even lifting a finger to bag while you're occupied signing the credit display. It's not that I expect a truly deep experience with a checker, but I do expect them to acknowledge your presence. I've worked about 15 years in various retail occupations and I never would have treated a customer that way. <br/> <br/>Is TJ's paying less and chintzing out on benefits? If so, that would explain to me why they're not able to attract the caliber of employee they had before.

<div>i could not believe how annoyed i was to discover this... he wasn't holding up the line, but he wasn't involving himself with the shopper... isn't that one of the things we love about Trader Joe's... the cashier talking, chatting... <br/> <br/>i had meant to complain to the skipper, but since this guy was right next to the skipper, i felt a bit shy... and it occurred to me that maybe they already know he is trouble and put him close to the skipper so he could be observed. of course, he was texting right there anyway, so maybe the skipper is oblivious... <br/> <br/>should i call and complain? or just realize that texting while working with money and customers is just normal business transaction these days? <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 28 replies </div>

<div>Hi everyone, I read a lot about trader joes, love the story, and the more I read, the more im absolutely sure I want to work there! My roommate works there and loves it. I have many years of retail experience and spent a LONG time on my resume and cover letter to make sure it "wows" the trader joe recruits. I was just wondering frmo those who have done it, what it was like, and what the application process was like? For instance, how many interviews, what are they looking for? I know its a lot of hours and random hours but working long and hard has never been an issue for me, if I love my job, i could do it all the time. Ive done work like this before and love it much more than my other office jobs. <br/> <br/>Also, im a 22yr old recent graduate (with maybe a 1/2 yr more experience than they require) will being young still work against me?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>all in all, I have noticed very friendly helpful staff at my local TJ's. Last night, my daughter and I shopped, and the check out clerk was talkative and appropriate. (too many young guys hit on my beautiful girl when we go out, simultaneously treating me like I had a third eye or something.) We both mentioned to each other when we got to the car that it is rare to see people her age - 17 to 23 - demonstrate positive social interaction. <br/>People just don't casually chit chat with each other anymore!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>2ND CHARLOTTE LOCATION TO OPEN IN 4TH QUARTER <br/>Trader Joe's almost ready <br/>1st store in Charlotte will open Aug. 17 in Piper Glen <br/>KATHLEEN PURVIS <br/>kpurvis@charlotteobserver.com <br/> <br/>The wait is almost over for fans of Trader Joe's. The first Trader Joe's in Charlotte, at the Shops in Piper Glen, 6418 Rea Road, will open Aug. 17, says company spokeswoman Alison Mochizuki. <br/> <br/>The 12,500-square-foot store will kick off with a "lei cutting" (Trader's version of a ribbon cutting) at 8:45 a.m., and the store will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. <br/> <br/>Store workers are bracing for crowds. The opening of a Trader Joe's usually brings long lines of fans, eager to stock up on products like simmer sauces, salsas and frozen potstickers. <br/> <br/>Mochizuki said the second Charlotte location, at 1820 Arbor Drive near Mallard Creek Church Road, is expected to open in the fourth quarter. And while the company gives few details about future projects, she said Trader Joe's still is interested in a midtown location closer to uptown Charlotte. <br/> <br/>The first Trader Joe's in the Carolinas opened in Cary, outside Raleigh, last year. <br/> <br/>Based in Monrovia, Calif., Trader Joe's is a specialty food store with a wide variety of items, from salsas to granolas, frozen foods and candies. The company often uses small, artisan producers. In a typical Trader Joe's, more than 80 percent of the products are exclusive. It aims at nutrition niches, such as gluten-free, kosher, vegetarian and vegan products. <br/> <br/>Trader Joe's is privately held, so it provides no information on sales. But Supermarket News estimated the company had sales of $5 billion in 2006. The company is owned by a German trust created by Aldi co-founder Theo Albrecht. <br/> <br/>The south Charlotte store will have a beer and wine section, so fans can buy the popular Charles Shaw wines, although "Two Buck Chuck," nicknamed because it sells for $1.99 a bottle in California, usually costs $2.99 in East Coast stores.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Has anyone tried this one? I bought it tonight, along with the Pumpkin mix, which I've had before. Nicely warm and spicy. The Meyer lemon one I've sprinkled dry over top of a package of frozen blueberries, and baked like a crumble. Brightly lemon, maybe a bit too sweet. The fudge truffle one - oh, very chocolatey and rich. And the plain Yellow mix, I think I baked as a regular cake, but found it greasy and bland; next time I'll try to cut the amount of butter - nobody needs a full stick in a mix that only makes an 8X8 pan. <br/> <br/>So - anybody try the Green Tea kind yet? I've never seen it before, thought I'd give it a shot.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I picked one of each up a few weeks ago. They're near the other pastas in the cold case and were in very chichi packaging, ubut under $3 I think. <br/> <br/>They're super easy to prepare - toss the pasta in the nuke, then the sauce - so all said less than 5 minutes to prep. <br/> <br/>Hubby ate the pesto penne and complained the pesto was too pine-nutty and bitter. I didn't try it myself. <br/>I ate the wild mushroom ravioli, which were very rich and yummy in a decadant cream mushroom sauce. <br/> <br/>If you're watching calories I'd skip this one - since upon closer inspection it has 3.5 servings and 11 grams of fat per serving - ouch! It maybe could feed 2 with a nice salad.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>K so I'm sure that everyone knows that ALDI is a German company that owns TJ's.. I went into an ALDI store today in Indiana and I was underwhelmed. Yes, the prices are ok, however after seeing all the chemicals and preservatives on the food labels FOR THE SAME PRICE AS WHAT YOU FIND AT TJ"S, it seems strange that this store is so popular for discount groceries. <br/> <br/>Perhaps it's just about location: <br/> <br/>From the Wikipedia entry on ALDI: <br/> <br/>In the United States, Aldi often locates its stores in areas with cheap property, which is often synonymous with proximity to high concentrations of impoverished minorities. Aldi stores in many US States accept public assistance debit-style cards as payment. The US perception of minorities being responsible for violent crime, as well as the not unfounded perception of these neighborhoods sometimes being violent often helps keep more affluent customers away. <br/> <br/>Has anyone ever shopped at an ALDI before? What's your impression?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://traderjoes.tribe.net">Trader Joe's or Death</a> - 8 replies </div>
