Re:From the mouth of a TJ's employee - 2009/11/15 10:50
Im fairly certain that the OP hasn't been employed long, or didnt stay employed for long. People with his kinds of attitudes are not very welcome at Trader Joe's.
I work in the Los Gatos store which is in the middle of a fairly rich area. You'd expect people to be more pompous, but in reality, they're not. Its all about the attitude you have. If you come in expecting to have a bad day, you probably will. If you have a bad attitude towards your work and your customers, it will seem like they all suck and that you work in one of the worst stores in the whole company.
Well, the great thing about TJ's is that even as a part-time employee, you have a say in your store. Unless you have the worst captain ever, and your Fulltimers have no regard for the part-timers, your opinion will be heard and heeded. I often point out to the Full-timers things that we can do better. Week later, changes are implemented.
On the topic of branding. Trader Joes mineral water may be Crystal Geyser, but guess what, its cheaper. Crystal Geyser is 1.19$, TJ's mineral water is 89c. What are you complaining about when you get the same great product for much much less.
Its all about how you approach the situation.
