From $2 wine to $2 wine, there are many reasons Trader Joe’s has a cult-like following, but I like to think their suspiciously friendly, bell-ringing, Jimmy Buffet-looking employees are a big draw.
Unfortunately, earlier this week, at a Los Angeles area Trader Joe’s, a total Karen decided to make life difficult for these flower-print clad heroes by throwing an absolute fit over having to wear a mask.
Opening day at Trader Joe’s in North Hollywood, Ca.
Karen is mad she was mask shamed… https://t.co/pF3Zgj3w2E

And here’s the thing: whether you “agree” with wearing a mask or not, being a petulant a-hole to someone who’s just trying to do their job is beyond childish.
Thus, we thought we’d make a little list of all the funny tweets about TJ’s employees, as our heartfelt apology on behalf of a-holes who are incapable of apologizing themselves. Keep up the good work!

Trader Joe's employees are legally required to scan one item in your cart and say "ooh these are dangerous"
