The originator of Trader Joe's has passed away. His funeral service will be overly crowded with very limited & congested parking.#RIPTraderJoe #TraderJoes #jimmykimmellive pic.twitter.com/uYpsFDul8x

I’m sad to learn the founder of #TraderJoes has died, but I’m very excited to meet the cauliflower version of him coming soon.

RIP Joe. His funeral should reflect the legacy he created: an incredibly long line to the procession and then lowered into a vat of affordable and delicious microwaveable tikka masala https://t.co/ArDqwwVpI0

Based on the #TraderJoes depleted aisles, it seems we in #PaloAlto prepare for #Coronavirus pandemic by purchasing pasta & soup.

I’m not saying Coronavirus is mutating but I saw this lady sneezing at Trader Joe’s and now I have a slight fever and an urge to devour the flesh of the living... #coronavirus #traderjoes #zombie #walkitoff https://t.co/Elks2LS92u

A Trader Joe’s in Portland, Ore. did its second busiest day in that store’s 16 year history yesterday, sources (the delightful check-out person) tell me. Frozen veggies, pasta, rice and canned beans basically all gone. #Coronavirus pic.twitter.com/LJCd2xaYtV

Someone needs to come over here and take this bag from me.
