With only one machine running and multiple people it was a little slow but well worth the wait. The shop is really small and there is no seating, so be prepared to take your stuff to go.

Trader Joe's

I stopped by the Santee Trader Joe's about an hour before closing. Normally, I do my grocery…read moreshopping on Fridays, but because of the holiday, I decided to wait. I was worried the shelves would be picked over, but I'm so glad I did! It was Monday, and everything was fully stocked with all of my personal favorites and as always the store well organized . One thing I've noticed is that every Trader Joe's has its own unique selection of products. Some locations seem to carry items that others don't, which I'm guessing has a lot to do with the size of the store. But one thing that remains consistent at every Trader Joe's I've visited is the people. I honestly don't think I've ever encountered a rude or disgruntled employee. The staff is always welcoming, genuinely friendly, and more than willing to help. They don't just point you in the right direction--they actually take the time to have real conversations with their customers. That personal touch makes every shopping trip feel enjoyable. I've discovered so many new products simply because a crew member recommended them or shared one of their personal favorites. It's one of the reasons I always leave with something new to try. And somehow, I learn something new every visit. Tonight, I learned about Trader Joe's rotation system. The crew members switch roles throughout the day--one hour they may be working the registers, the next they're collecting shopping carts, stocking shelves, organizing frozen foods, or helping in another area of the store. I think it's a brilliant system. It keeps the workflow balanced, gives employees variety, and, in my opinion, probably helps maintain such positive morale. The crew member who helped me tonight told me he genuinely enjoys coming to work and that his smile isn't forced--he truly enjoys serving people. When an employee sincerely says they enjoy serving customers, it makes you realize Trader Joe's must be doing something right. If you're ever in Santee, I highly recommend stopping by this location. Truthfully, I've had great experiences at just about every Trader Joe's I've visited. My only "complaint" has nothing to do with the store itself--it's those locations that share tiny parking lots with other busy businesses! If you've shopped at one of those, you know exactly what I mean. As always... you can thank me later.

I originally took my twins for a Friday evening treat, they took forever so I'm not sure about their service however when I went in for my 4 year old's order it was a nice, clean & sweet smelling store. I saw 3 young ladies behind the counter, they all looked over when I opened the door but no greeting. I proceeded to the kiosk that I haven't used in a while, easy ordering if you know what you want. I decided on the 3 pack mini cookies as my 4 year old doesn't need a huge cookie & to my surprise sodas aren't the only thing on the menu! I got my little a flavored lemonade with gummy sharks in it which he enjoyed! Thank you to the girl making our drinks she was wonderful & kind. read more

Everyone knows people are going for ice cream on a hot day. My disappointment is in the management they only have one young girl working all by herself. I'm gonna say there is at least 20 people in line who were behind me. When I arrived, there's probably about 10 people. The poor girl had to keep mixing the ice cream all by herself. I asked her isn't there anyone here working with you? I've never seen a store only have one employee. She didn't even have anyone there to relieve her for a bathroom break. The young girl worked hard and was very accomplished. I give it to Megan for not giving up. I would've walked out the door and told the manager or the owner to get down to the store and try operate all by their selves. Highly disappointed that someone would allow anyone to work there all by their self without any opportunity for a break. Her arm had to hurt, pulling all that frozen ice cream out and having to mix it with all the extra ingredients that everyone wanted. Most of the people in front of us were ordering a pint or more. I saw her shaking her hand her wrist look like it was really sore. She actually has a pretty good Workmen's Comp. case if she wanted. Hire more help and quit being so cheap. Don't treat your employees like this. Very disappointing.. He lost a lot of clientele too. They saw the line and just turned around and walked away. You're losing money by being so cheap and you're injuring your employees putting them at risk. You can't work someone this hard.
