    Hey Trader Joe’s owners,Don’t be a dick! I’m not a large customer, but I can always stop shopping there. Very disappointing.

    I’m disappointed. I really thought that TJs was more like Costco. You look at the employees and they are always smiling, just like Costco. Guess not all things are equal.

      Trader Joe’s is overpriced Aldi. Their employees are told to smile, just like everywhere else you go that employees are always smiling. Nobody’s that happy at work, and that shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody at this point.

    What the F, TJ? Want to make a loyal customer of 15+ years quit? This is how you do it. We’re a union family, we vote with our dollars too.

        I used to shop at a kroger that had a UFCW sticker on the sliding doors out front. They represent 835,000 grocery workers. Unions have a strong foothold in American Grocery stores. Sounds like TJ’s needs em.

    Hmm. I couldn’t read the full article because of a paywall, but from what I understand, the constitutionality of the NLRB was upheld by the Supreme Court in NLRB v. Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp. 301 U.S. 1 (1937). I’m not sure there is any foundation to contemporary claims that the NLRB is unconstitutional.
