give us what we want, we've had enough

Trader Joe's, I have three words for you: What. The. Butt?

For serious. I went today to the new NYC store, and there was a line to get in. Monday at 4PM? Alright. So I got on it. The woman behind me (who then became the woman in front of me, delightful) kept saying how insane it was to be lined up to get in a store. And yet she was. And cut me.

Anyway, when I got inside, I couldn't even buy anything because people were lined up to look at stuff, and the line to pay wound all through the store. I have a job and money. I'm trying to pay for food. I do not need this. So I went to Whole Foods (which was a little more crowded than usual in the store, but the registers were pretty empty) and spent too much money for stuff I probably could have bought cheaper at Trader Joe's (though not those magical scallops) but at what price? I'll try again next week. Maybe the mania will have died down.
