I know the price of Peanuts have risen in the past 6 months but DAMN! DC...forget the garlic/herb pizza crust and make your own.. Get this: and just get some olive oil and puree some garlic...brush it on the flat bread that I posted. Then either shred your own mozzarella or use the pre-packaged stuff that they have in the refrigerated section. Put that on top and broil for a couple of minutes. You got yourself a quick and easy pizza... Or, you can buy some of their pizza sauce or marinara (thicken marinara w. tomato paste) and season to your liking. I usually use garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, sugar, and salt...

They are nonunion but compensated better than many unionized grocery workers: Part-timers at Trader Joe’s can receive $20 an hour with full benefits, and store managers top out with an annual salary of $130,000, with matching 401Ks—pay that more than makes up for being called “first mate” and “captain” in public. http://www.lamag.com/features/story.aspx?ID=1515075 There’s no easy way to say this so I’ll just say it, I met someone. It was an accident, I wasn’t looking for it, it wasn’t on the make, it was a perfect storm. She said one thing, I said another, next thing I knew, I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the middle of that conversation. Now there’s this feeling in my gut she might be the one. She’s completely nuts in a way that makes me smile, highly neurotic with a great deal of maintenance required. She is you, ____. That’s the good news. Quaecumque sunt vera

Every TJs has the same people working there. 5 dudes with tattoo sleeves who have that "I was voted Most Popular back in high school" type swagger 3 Suicide Girl looking chicks 1 fat @#@ happy guy who seems to have the busiest checkout stand 3-5 cutesy fresh out of high school Taylor-Jordan-Morgan type chicks who wander around aimlessly 1 pregnant 30-something Management are all old people who look like the hardest part of their job is buttoning up that Hawaiian shirt (I want their paper) and a couple rastas in the mix for color (they only get to stock) My life will be made if and when TJ's get some self checkout stands. Sometimes the clerks get a little too chatty at checkout. "Hey! So what do you have planned tonight bro?!" (it's like 1pm on a Tues) Uhhh, gonna watch the game??? "SWEET MAN! Sounds like good times!" (now everyone within a 50 ft radius knows my deal) walks out feeling like a loser

TJ's treats their employees really well. They genuinely enjoy working there.
