The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for September 14, 2024

But to be consistent, how do they betray your sister?

He’s headed for the donut shop next door: Hole Foods.

She already shopped there, and had a bad shopping experience

Use cash.

Except for the sister thing a lot of companies do that!

“That’s one grocery store where I wouldn’t mind that the clerks got fresh.”

Darnit, Joe, it was a TYPO, a TYPO, you didn’t have to make it into a whole theme!

Don’t forget that they have poor online security measures and you personal and credit card information will be on the next data “breach”.

Isn’t selling credit card info illegal?

And don’t eat at Arthur Treacherous.

And yet she shops there.

Good one. Making fun of Trader Joe’s.

But, do they still stock that cheap wine? Two Buck Upchuck

The name should tell you something.

Google?

The Kroger – Albertsons merger must have gone through.

Reminds me of the Canadian knockoff store that bought Trader Joe’s items in the US and sold them in the unofficial Canadian store: Pirate Joes.

I too always get all my own, very reliable consumer advice from random strangers I encounter in parking lots.

A friend was telling me about a church in Manhattan to which the local Trader Joe’s sends its day-old bread, fruit that’s past ripe, and soon-to-expire packaged goods. The church then assembles food packages and hands them out to anyone needy who’ll come in and listen to a sermon.

I decided it must be the Church of Jesus, Mary, and Trader Joseph.

Wow. Even when your sister isn’t a party to the argument?

Must be part of the Trump conglomerate.
