    Receipt

    One star because of the cashier I had today. This was an older female cashier with dark hair. She had an attitude. Shocking Trader Joe's has this type of person working there. This happened today September 10 at 2pm. Awful person.

    2 pink, 2 blue (limit 4)

    If you want to get your hands on the Mini Pastel Canvas Tote Bag for $2.99, get there when they first open at 8 AM because they will sell out by 830 AM (limit 4). It looks like the most popular colors are pink and lavender, although I grabbed pink and blue. They will release a limited supply every day this week. However with each passing day, the demand is less so I guess by Friday, the line won't be so long. Shout out to Craig. He is the nicest crew member I have met at this Trader Joe's location (in 5 Points Plaza). When I stopped by on Monday 3/16, he immediately knew I was looking for the tote bags. Craig informed me they got a surprise drop over the weekend but didn't receive any that day. He told me to swing by the next day because they more are expected.

    Advent Calendars, get them while they last.

    We stopped to get some salads. The store was extremely busy. Organize, neat, clean. Nate was our cashier and he was very considerate. He offer us utensils which was excellent. Highly recommended

    So good you can't eat just 1.

    My new favorite addiction are the tortilla rolls chips they have! It's a gluten free friendly version of "Takis" but tastes so much better! I like to stock up on them, one time I went and my bag was overflowing with chips that the paper bag handles ripped off. A really busy employee stopped what he was doing and helped me pick all my chip bags up from the floor and gave me a new bag! What an amazing customer service. Thank you for helping me!

    MOLDY old Trader J.'s pistachios

    Nice people and service, but their pistachios are all MOLDY. I can't even believe they DO sell such a bad quality MOLDY old stale pistachios. Time to change the provider!

    Today I went to Trader Joe's. I wanted to buy reusable shopping bags. The kind young man A.Thom at the register told me there was a limit of three, and if you bought three, you would get one free -- so you were allowed to take a fourth bag. When I got home, I saw that I only had three. My daughter had asked me to buy them so she could take them to her cousins in another country, and since she has four cousins, I needed to buy four bags. So I had to drive back. I thought maybe I had forgotten one at the register. When I returned, the cashier had changed. They took me to the manager. The manager Shawn said there was no such promotion, that he would not give me one I forgot at the register, and that I could either buy another one or return the three I had purchased. I said, "But that's what I was told." Maybe the cashier was mistaken, but at that moment I believed I was entitled to take four. Also, this Trader Joe's is 25 minutes from my home. If I was just going to buy that one bag, I could have gone somewhere only 5 minutes away. I said, "Did I really come all this way for nothing?" The manager's attitude embarrassed me. He acted as if I was lying. If I were going to lie, I would have said I bought three and only went home with two. Besides, I am Muslim. It is Ramadan, and I am fasting. Why would I lie for $3.99? I was truly very hurt. In the end, I paid and bought one more. But I found his behavior very rude. He said he would ask the cashier the next day. I don't want to put the cashier in a difficult position. Maybe he was mistaken. But I found the manager's behavior very unpleasant. I won't be shopping at Trader Joe's for a while.

    I couldn't find BBSauce and asked a young lady if I was "just not seeing it 'cause I am old as dirt." Anyway, Crystal stepped up, and the hunt for the B-B sauce was afoot. OH NO TJs was out of my favorite bar- b-q sauce. She asked If I would like her to take a look out back, and I said that was very kind but not to worry, I am in the store a lot. Anyway, I make it to check out, and as I am getting ready to pay, guess who shows up with my B-B-Sauce? Some guy named Cliff..........Nooooo NOT TRUE! , it was my new Rock Star Crystal who went the distance to help a senior citizen. And it was one of the few times I didn't bring Chloe......... most of the TJs team has met Chloe a time or 2 or 3 Thanks, Crystal............ who says shopping can't be fun!

I know all Walmarts have a standard staple items for their stores and groceries stores. However, all states and cities always stock some kind of local things specific to the area. Like the local coffee beans or honey as an example. For that, I am the crazy person who looks for that! This store sells everything. You can find the meat department, dairy, vegetables/fruits, bakery, drinks, pastas/rice, frozen, candy, miscellaneous household items and much more!!! The aisles seemed spacious. Overall, a great experience! The store was clean and stocked. The staff were friendly and helpful. Ample parking. My better half bought some things for family. We found some specialty coffee beans and spices. I only purchased drinks for our room.

I receive the foregoing w/ a Walmart+ membership via a credit card. I was intrigued by Aloha bars: A Hawaiian co offering plant based, sugar free, high protein bars. However, Amazon was selling them in 12 packs for $3/bar. I didn't see any stores selling individual bars. But I did see that Walmart was selling them for $2/bar in 5 packs. In addition, I could receive the bars the same day w/ free delivery. I ended up liking the bars and will buy more. Nonetheless, I will buy them from Walmart bc the price is cheaper vs Amazon, and Walmart offers the bars in smaller packs.

Inside, it has a decent selection of items. I didn't notice that usual strong fishy smell you sometimes get in Vietnamese markets from seafood or raw meat, so it felt fairly clean and well maintained. Seafood and meats looked fresh, but prices are higher compared to other Asian markets. The produce section looked fresh as well, just on the expensive side. There is a small prepared food section in the front for quick takeout. Even with the higher prices, it's still a convenient place to shop.

So if you need charge and also get groceries, this is where you'd wanna go. Selection wise everything is pretty fresh. They also have a lot of prepared Vietnamese foods as well which is nice. Lighting seems a lot brighter here compared to the other place. I think the vegetables can be a little bit more expensive compared to some other places, but if you don't want to go all the way up to Garden Grove or Westminster, this is a nice alternative.

I also had trouble finding many of the items I normally buy at Mitsuwa--they simply didn't seem to be stocked on the shelves. The prepared foods were another disappointment. The selection didn't seem nearly as appealing or extensive as what I've found at the Torrance location. I ended up picking up a few things, but was surprised to find that they were more expensive than similar items at another Japanese grocery store in the area, which I visited afterward. Overall, I'd choose the Torrance location over Irvine based on this visit. The Irvine store just didn't have the selection, atmosphere, or value I've come to expect from Mitsuwa.
