I don't really hate TJ's (though I say I do for dramatic effect and to help with Darwinian culling when those with weak blood vessels stroke out), but rather a lot of the people who shop there. "But it has the best selection of Indian food," they'll tell me as they walk past the local Indian grocery that they won't go into because it smells weird.

Plus TJs had a commercial on the radio that bugged me to no end.

"There are many names for potstickers around the world...but here at Trader Joe's we call them...shu mai."

No, the entire nation of Japan calls them shu mai. It was like they said "There are many names for baked yeast dough around the world but here at Trader Joe's we call it...bread."


That's how fickle I am. Based on a single really stupid commercial I'm willing to never again step into the store.
