just wanna say that us #TraderJoes crew members are more appreciative of and humbled by the thanks we've gotten for our hard work during this pandemic than people might realize. knowing that there are people not taking us for granted makes it all feel much more meaningful.

Good news at #TraderJoes 25th NW. No waiting in line if you’re a senior. Nice orderly store, shelves well stocked @ARLnowDOTcom pic.twitter.com/gmPSAB74YE

I don’t know the name of this #TraderJoes employee, but she’s an angel sent from God. She’s maintaining the line all while smilingly reassuring everyone in line that the store is well-stocked. My heart is glad. ☺️ pic.twitter.com/aCBagIlW5I

@GMA @michaelstrahan when your 5yr old heard the #TraderJoes door employee ask to do a push-up challenge to stay warm and entertain the line, he walks up no problem pic.twitter.com/SWUF1P9CSZ

“My” Trader Joe’s in Silver Lake (yes, *that* one) still remains full of amazing employees. Assisting the elderly, pre-disinfecting shopping carts, offering hand sanitizer hits, putting up sun tents for everyone waiting in line. 💕#TraderJoes #COVID19

Our #traderjoes taped measured lines outside the store. It felt like waiting in line for an exclusive nightclub with the "doorman" spritzing hand sanitizer instead of UV ink hand stamps that glow in the dark. I wanted to start an impromptu tai chi class since we had enough space.

Our #TraderJoes has about 90 percent of its product back in stock, and limits have been removed on most of them, but we are still limiting the number of people in the store to allow for social distancing. It’s become a small island of calm and normal in a world gone bonkers

A little ray of positivity for your feed...

I don’t remember where I shopped before I started shopping at #TraderJoes. I think I just didn’t eat ??

I've been observing #SocialDistancing & staying home. But every few days, I just have to drive somewhere. The one chore I abhor, grocery shopping, is now the one thing I look forward to. The poor #TraderJoes worker just stood there while I chatted at her nonstop... pic.twitter.com/noE1IEE82V
