Trader Joe’s

Here are the top 10 reasons I appreciate Trader Joes:
10 They use paper bags
9 Healthy food choices
8 They have little shopping carts and chalk boards for kids
7 The monkey
6 Great prices
5 I rarely see solicitors outside
4 The cashiers don’t ask me to pay extra money for corporate charities

*Disclaimer: I am sensitive to solicitors and charities, but the way most stores go about it is very irritating and rude.
And the top 3 reasons are…
3 They have real human being cashiers
(not computerized, do it yourself scanners, that actually
take longer and end up needing a human helper anyway).
2 NO CLUB CARDS!!!
(I know most people love to carry around cards and give out their personal information so that they can be a «member» or «save money» — I try to support a dwindling number of places that do NOT require club cards).

1 Great customer service. They greet you, help you find items, compliment what you buy,
open up new lines when it’s busy, and genuinely seem happy to be there.

First time here and I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I ran in to buy 3 items and all the lines were long, but they moved quickly. This is the closest one to our new home in Ontario, so I guess I’ll just have to stock up on each trip vs being in Vegas where its right up the street.

I like going to trader joes specifically for their spinach artichoke dip! It is the best and I cannot find it anywhere else so I always come here to get it. They also have a few other items that are decent (Spinach lasagna, carrot cake muffins etc) and its nice shopping at a health food store.
But I must say the cashier that helped me when I visited last was very rude, I believe his name was Oscar. I was surprised because usually trader joes has very friendly employees but when I went the guy looked like he hated his job. He didn’t greet me when he started ringing up my items, which I found very rude. And when he handed me my receipt he didn’t say anything at all. I get that he may not find his job enjoyable but he really should not be working for a store that is known for having great customer service because he does not do well in that area. So if you happen to find yourself shopping at this location avoid Oscar when you’re checking out.

Such a nice first visit to this location. Store was clean with very friendly and helpful staff. Nice selection of their particular goodies and wines. Even the other customers were nice and friendly. I love their selection of foods and beautiful produce., Tyler was great at the check out and I the pleasure of the music and food samples making me feel like I was in the special lil Workd if Trader Joes

Like this place. The staff are helpful. Good selection of products. Better and fresher products than the grocery store in this shopping center. Always have new interesting items. The place is always clean.

+ Clean, well kept
+ Friendly service
First time at Trader Joe’s this weekend and I was impressed by it. Very clean and well kept store, items are easy to find as well. Really cool little store, nice alternative to say. the bigger guys like Ralphs/​Vons.
Not much else to say, but it is a nice place to visit if you’re looking to buy some groceries.

This store has very friendly and helpful employees. Love this store! It’s not as busy as other stores and has more space than others as well. My kids love pushing the kids carts to help with shopping. This is worth the drive from the high desert. I wish that this company would see that the high desert is a great place for a store. Apple Valley would be the ideal location near Jess Ranch.

This location has great service. They never let the lines get too long and if you have any questions the staff bend over backward to help you. I go here literally once a week.
I luv all the Choco and fruit, trail mixes, salads, ezequial toast and fruits! The egg whites in the carton are the best!

This store is good for a quick stop on the way home. I like the store in itself. I luv the fact that it is right off the freeway to the bfs house. Parking can be a bit hectic. The store is well kept clean and organized. It is well stocked. I would definitely recommend anyone in the area to shop here if you are looking for certain items and also luv all the organic faves. I will definitely be back here again sometime soon :) Employes are friendly and helpful …

Trader Joe’s is a grocery store that steals my heart, it has all of my favorite things inside, wine, cheese, organic fruit and veggies what’s not to love.
Some of my favorite items are the orange chicken, soycatash, frozen chocolate banana bites, cookie butter, cheddar popcorn I could go on and on.
The customer service at all the trader Joe’s I have ever been to has always been excellent. And they always are eager to help you when you need anything. The only downside is that it does get packed on the weekend so I do avoid shopping during that time. But other then that 2 thumbs up for trader Joe’s.

I’m always appreciative of happy cheerful employees.
Especially when they don’t put on the whole, «robotic, I’m forced to be nice to you» act.
(Jack the cashier) is a wonderful, sweet hearted cashier, who totally made my Sunday morning. :)

On thursday night upon arriving in LA from NYC, I bought. 2 california rolls in brown rice and avocado. I was starving and had 1 right away. About 3 hours later, I became very nauseas, major headache and vomitted. Even the next morning I had a major headache.
Today, I had to come back to get other items for an elderly relative and informed the person sitting in the managers booth. He was very cordial, white guy, dark brown/​black beard, but did not take any notes on my experience. I gave him one of the packages that was still on the shelve and he put it to the side. I repeatedly asked him to make sure this is reported because the reaction was severe for me but could be much worst for an elderly person.
I am a long time trader joes believer but found the lack of urgency or immediate interest in writing this report very disturbing.
Keep in mind that I was not even asking for a refund on those 2 california rolls.
They need to put in a better and more urgent process in place for situations like this at every store.

Conveniently located off the freeway, next to Chaffey college and a Gas Station and a Mc Donald’s. Love the fresh food and the packaged food. Cookie butter anything is yummy. The staff here are nice and there almost never a wait for check out. Lots of organic choices and I love the samples. I almost always get what they’re dishing out for dinner. The place is clean but I wish it was open later like a regular grocery store.

I’m not as impressed with this particular Trader Joes location as many of the other reviewers seem to be. Its not bad as store by any means, but its certainly not as good as many of the other Trader Joe’s I have been to throughout Southern California.
Personally, I prefer to shop at Sprouts instead of this place but think that’s just because I’m more of a Sprouts type of person than I am a Trader Joe’s kind of person. Lol!
I give this particular Trader Joe’s location 3-​Stars.

Very good location with easy access from freeway if you’re a commuter like myself. I have a basic approach when grocery shopping and I tend to split between 3 stores to complete my selection and TJ’S serves perfect for that last minute meal. I don’t get too wild on meats but I normally get a whole organic chicken that by far is very delicious when cooked properly as in a dinner soup. I’ve had guest’s ask about my broth and chicken because you can taste the difference less all the preservatives. I also like to buy cookies here like ginger snaps and tj’s chocolatey cats cookies which don’t last very long less all the extra sugar you typically find with the major name brand type. You’ve been to one TJ’S, you know what to epxect, small aisles, clean floors, well stock displays from produce, meats, dairy, breads, snacks, veggies, organic shampoos, and a small beer selection with mixed inexpensive wine selection. Hardly ever any long lines at this location with friendly staff all around with positive vibes.
Parking at this location can get busy only because there is plenty of retail stores, add a gas station, major super market, restaurants, and everything else with a open sign at peak hour, parking can be on the limited side.
I do like that all of TJ’S shopping carts are well maintained and sit under a canopy at front of store hence giving store more space inside.
Don’t forget your Inca Peruvian corn nuts ;)

Made a trip out to get some products only to find that most of what I was looking for was out of stock. Went with a grocery list of items and left with only 2 things.
Ended up getting what I needed from somewhere else but could’ve done without the trip here, which was out of the way.
The attendant helping me was super friendly though. So an extra star for her.

You ever get that craving for something really delicious that you won’t regret eating later? Me neither, but if you do, you can get it here.
My wife converted me to Trader Joe’s many moons ago, and I love coming here now. And you know one of the best things about the store? The friendly staff.
Is there an item that you used to buy but can’t find anymore? Ask someone. Maybe it was moved, or discontinued, or temporarily out of stock, but they’ll be able to tell you. Did you go through someone’s line a week ago? He’ll probably remember you from last time.
Oh, and if you enjoy cheese like I do, then this is your cheese heaven. You’ll find over a hundred different selections of everything from brie to hard cheeses to your shredded cheeses. Pub cheese, sliced cheeses, goat cheese, organic raw milk cheese, bacon cheddar cheese, feta cheese…
Anyway, I have nothing but high praise for this store.

I’ve probably been going to this Trader Joe’s for about 2 years off and on. They have a decent selection of fruits and vegetables. The salads and prepackaged lunches are definitely worth trying.
I enjoy going to the sample area which is located towards the back of the store. It’s sandwiched between the meats and milk items. They always have coffee samples to try (this brings me joy).
I enjoy picking up a variety of items from frozen dinners to seaweed or trail mix.
They have a kids corner towards the opposite side of the store near the cashiers. There are magnets and small shopping carts for the kids to push around the store.
Make sure to bring your own bags in order to be entered into the monthly raffle for a gift certificate to Trader Joes.

Love, love, love Trader Joes! By far one of my absolute favorite grocery stores. This location is located right next to the 210 freeway off the Haven exit, in a large shopping center that is home to Vons and other stores. Parking can be a pain sometimes during the busy weekends, but never to a point where you have to wait longer than a split second to receive a spot.
The store itself is always well kept and fully stocked. Their produce is of the best quality. The best part about Trader Joes is their amazing wine collection. After discovering their amazing collection we do not shop for wine anywhere else, unless we are in an actual winery.
If you are in the area, try this store, trust me you will love it. I know I love it, and please believe that I will go back as I frequently as I have been in the past year.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers!

One of my criteria on my list to my real estate agent, was that our new house needed to have a Trader Joe’s close by… and so we have it! LOL
I’m lost at any other store. I walked into Sprout’s one day and ended up at Trader Joe’s to buy the rest of my groceries.
I buy everything from:
=======================
Salad
Fresh produce
Pizza dough
Pasta
Frozen meals (orange chicken etc.)
Milk
Butter
Eggs
Sugar
Desserts (cheesecake, tapioca pudding, cookies, ice cream sandwiches)
Tea
Snacks
Seasonings
Juice (orange, apple)
Bread (have gluten free)
Butter
Olive Oil
Jams
Dog treats
Flowers
Wine
Greeting cards
I’ve even tried their lotions and shampoo.
All the staff there are friendly (as in any other Trader Joe’s) and will usually strike up a conversation with you when they are ringing you up.
The only reasons for me to step foot in another grocery store would be to buy CoffeeMate creamer (since I love their creamer), K-​cups, or meat when it’s on sale.
Otherwise, TJ’s fufills all my needs. :)
