But I grilled some chicken, added roasted garlic hummus, sauteed red onion w/cinnamon + cayenne pepper, and added some avacado to it all. Nice wrap right there.

Don't you live in Queens Mez? There's a really good one right on Woodhaven Blvd. Go there every other week to stock the freezer, love that place . I toom the drive out there once, was too cramped for my liking. I live in the city now, the Whole Foods and TJ's are here are dope, plus I'll get em delivered if I order too many things (or just get a yellow cab) I always buy frozen fruits for my protein shakes.

Off hand (maybe another topic later), can yall think of any stores etc. where the employees suck or look miserable? Read, Ortega, Bob. "In Sam We Trust: The Untold Story of Sam Walton and How Wal-Mart Is Devouring America It arguable that Walmart would have never become the retail giant that it is today had they conducted business the way Trader Joe's and similar grocery/retail stores have. You wouldn't believe some of the the stuff Walmart employee's went through at their low pay rate, e.g. sleeping in cars between double shifts, fired due to joining unions, union busters... Never been to Trader Joe's though but I see them around the DMV.

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 Damn, I can see why they're apparently so damn happy, they make more than I do at my "office job"! Good to see a company that realizes that happy cows make better milk AND likely produce more than just enough to get you to stop pinching their nipples. Never been in one myself, but there's one in Center City (Philly) and this thread was a damn good commercial for them, because I'm definitely gonna go check them out soon.

The one in Woodhaven can get packed and its actually small compared to the ones in the city....it really is worth it to go into the city (even a drive on a Sunday when you can park anywhere) There are a lot of cheap products in there you just have to go digging through...whole foods has far better organic products though.

There frozen deserts are great also. $2 buck chuck is $3 buck chuck here in Chicago...some sort of tax. Fresh and Easy in Cali is actually my favorite. They have auto-checkout machines, which is great especially if you don't like chatty cashiers. 2 miles west on Madison to the UC, lucky me.. Last Edited By: CAto312 01/28/12 11:46 AM. Edited 1 time.

Plus the frozen fish section at Trader Joes is reasonable and they have great options. COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE

I didn't know where the shopping baskets were, so I asked one of the employees, he's like wait here and he comes back with a whole stack of baskets. This store is appreciated how the employees go out of their way for you
