What's the alternative? Morton Williams? Gristedes? It's expensive either way but at least there's quality

Not everyone has access to good options like that. Personally I wish I had an overpriced one around me

Time is money. I’ve never seen a Trader Joe’s in nyc with a normal wait time. I was considering buying in bulk in jersey during the pandemic and selling to people standing in line outside lol

Depends on when you go. I go to the one on Spring St all the time in the middle of weekdays and often there's not even a line

The TJs in Long Island City has normal wait times. And for the price you pay for groceries there I’d wait longer tbh.

I went to the one at 93rd and Columbus last Friday after work and I waited for maybe five minutes tops.

Lines can snake around 3 aisles. It moves in minutes. They have it kind of figured out. The prices are rock bottom. Why the lines.

Trader Joe’s upper west side (the one in the 90s) is often pretty chill if you go at off hours. Even when it’s busy I never find myself waiting in line for that long. The line may be long but the wait is not.

Check out it’s meat and Kimchi sections and compare to a super Hmart store you will notice the differences.
