I was at Trader Joe's in Rochester Hills, MI this morning. Two people were wearing masks [View all]

Me and my brother. That was it. Nobody else. And it wasn't exactly a slow morning at TJs. I see more people wearing masks at the local Walmart.

That, the fact that I'm not finding more and more of my favorite things, as in no longer carried, and the big price jump for the Charles Shaw wine, my looking forward to trips to TJs is coming to an end. That makes me a bit sad because I used to LOVE shopping there and didn't mind the 64 mile round trip to do so.

I did buy two bottles of the Charles Shaw Red Blend. In the old days I never left with anything less than a case PLUS a few other interesting bottles of vino.

Now I have to find another source for Mango Chutney. Maybe I should try making some, myself.

If other customers wearing a mask is important to you, you shouldn't shop there anymore MichMan Aug 2022 #6
I'll try to not take that as condescending Siwsan Aug 2022 #13
Since that was the title of your post, I assumed you considered it important MichMan Aug 2022 #20
