I worked for tjoes in AZ and for WFM in VA.Did you work at one?
The store in Davis, California closed down about a year and a half ago.
A world of difference between the two. Loved tjoes. My youngest daughter works at a Trader Joe’s here and wears my old T-shirts which are now considered “vintage“ and sought after. She is affectionately called an “O. G. kid” as a second generation employee or the child of an ORIGINAL GANGTA. If your parent worked there it is very easy to get hired.
Editing to add : that even though she got hired as my kid,
she works her tater off and at just five feet tall she out performs all the guys she works with by a mile. They evaluate every six months and she’s never missed a raise yet. Most of the group she got hired with are either still at their starting wage or washed out.
She makes me proud.
All my kids have a great work ethic.
