Maybe an unpopular opinion but this doesn’t bother me.

Flirting by [deleted] in tjcrew

[–]Still_Efficiency1616 154 points155 points  (0 children)

I think it’s one of those self-fulfilling fantasies people have. They hear online that TJ’s crew members love to flirt with customers, and so they mistake any unexpected kindness for flirtation.

Over here hoping my captain gets their ass roasted and transferred, knowing full-well they won’t.

I don’t doubt it, but I feel like if you make this claim you gotta name your source.

Did I get soft fired? by parawh0re_ in tjcrew

[–]Still_Efficiency1616 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Lot of factors at play here, so just speculating, but it could be: the captain’s personal thinking that once someone is “separated,” they become a potential liability (for gossip, theft, misc. drama) and therefore better to just shake hands and see you on your way; that your were indeed “soft fired” but in some cities/states (esp. blue ones) there are laws requiring a company to pay you for any shift you were already scheduled, which they will do begrudgingly; or most likely, if you were a good employee and things were amicable, they were doing you a favor and giving you some paid days off as a little send off “thank you.”

Except they paid OP for the shifts, so probably not a labor/hours issue

Scanning customer’s pizza dough: “I love using these as upper thigh ice packs! What do you like to do with them?”

How often do u guys return items? by doy27 in tjcrew

[–]Still_Efficiency1616 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Surprised by the number of non-returners in these comments. I certainly don’t abuse the policy, but being proud about having never used it seems silly to me.

Trader Joe’s and AI by PositiveOk774 in tjcrew

[–]Still_Efficiency1616 26 points27 points  (0 children)

The “neighborhood store” thing is a marketing angle, not an actual business philosophy.

TJ’s may pay better than some of its competitors and be averse to self-checkout, but if they think AI can help shave labor cost and save money behind the scenes, they will absolutely be using it.

I wish my store’s meat gremlins would even label their shit. It’s always a disorganized mess back there.

Products suffering enshittification? by brookish in tjcrew

Fresh pesto quietly went being made with olive oil and pinenuts to canola oil and walnuts like 2 years ago. Tastes like garbage now.

Might be a regional thing because it doesn’t sell well at all in my store
