If getting a terrible disease after using a product branded as RED isn't ironic, then fuck each and every one of you

Two of their chicken dinners came to me with under cooked chicken. Didn't notice it the first time and got food poisoning, looked more closely at the 2nd one and cooked the chicken more. Love their apple cider with pulp though.

Feels like a mistake. Every time I go to a Wegman's or other supermarket, the comparable items are priced the same or higher. To cut prices, they're almost definitely going to have to cut quality and 100% of the people who shop there do so for the (perceived?) higher quality.
Re: OFFICIAL Trader Joe's Discussion

WF's quality is largely a matter of perception. There's probably plenty of room to cut down their margin. Also, they're shifting more focus toward prepared foods and in-store dining (because millennials). I'm curious to see how those fare in any price reductions (I'm guessing they won't drop much.)
Re: OFFICIAL Trader Joe's Discussion

I think the big news is they're going to integrate discounts for Prime members and integrate Prime as the "shopping club" for accumulating credit, presumably anywhere on Amazon.com or for WF items. It's not going to be anything spectacular but if you already buy some of your stuff there and you're Amazon Prime, then you're likely to save some money.

My brother (who works for WF) wants to get the F out since the merger was announced.
He believes that they'll lose the benefits and salary that make WF a good place to work.

The Whole Foods within walking distance of my apartment already has in store dining, a patio, and beer on tap. Plus I already have Prime. So that'll be awesome and interesting.

I actually cancelled Prime yesterday so that'll end up lasting for a few weeks.
Re: OFFICIAL Trader Joe's Discussion

Prime is maybe the one optional financial purchase in my household that's a no-brainer. We get our money back on that in free shipping alone. Add in streaming music and video and it's a must have.

Hmmm ... I think they're all fizzy drinks, so the soda vs flavored sparkling water line is drawn based on sweetness, if that makes sense.
