Trader Joe’s, thank you!

About Trader Joe’s employees: They’re going above and beyond to ensure their shoppers remain safe, while also creating a positive experience. I hadn’t been food shopping in over a month so felt a little stressed and anxious yesterday. The line was long (past See’s) and intimidating, but the Trader Joe’s employees were outside with those standing in line, available to answer questions and make sure people were standing 6 feet apart. They’ve marked lines on the concrete and included positive, inspirational messages at these lines.

The line moves rather fast and when at the front they have more employees wiping down and spraying carts with disinfectant. Another employee tells you when it’s your turn to enter. I appreciate them limiting the number of shoppers. They also have taped arrows on the floors of the aisles for better control, furthering the respected and recommended distancing.

What is most appreciated is the employees’ upbeat and happy attitudes. They’re very willing to help, and truly make a somewhat stressful experience a positive one. What sealed the deal is when my cashier, Jermaine, told me he’d be right back. He came back with a large bouquet of flowers and told me I should have them. His kind gesture was very much appreciated and although I thanked him, I want all of the Scripps Ranch Trader Joe’s employees to know how much we appreciate them!
