That sounds nice.

My week is good.

You know, 'I finally shucked off some of the resistance and 'I am

So 'I had

Yeah, so 'I had my second personal training session today.

Cannot move my body, which is fun.

And what else?

You know, just catching up on, what is it called?

Search party.

The last

nice fun.

life's good.

It got so cold here, but it's A' little bit better now.

So I'm happy about that.

Well, way to work those muscles.

Trey 'I.

Can't say that 'I.

Well, you know, 'I 'I with Watch that Rock Pilates, 'I.

Try to, you know, do A' little something, but 'I, respect the hustle.

You know that

Holla.

Haa

me.

Well, have you been working up out any complaints lately?

'I definitely have A' Complaint that I'm dealing with

Lodge, A', Complaint.

Let's do it.

All right.

'I have A' job where 'I have to have my entire uniform pressed.

By you or like professionally?

good question.

'I 'I think everything is supposed to be dry cleaned, but 'I always iron before

So 'I recognize that 'I could just be putting everything on A' hangar and then getting dressed

So my Complaint is when you have ironed A' shirt and then you sit in your car and you drive in

And then 'I get out and my shirt is wrinkly.

'I hate how the car is like bawling up A' piece of paper.

It just instantly creates all these random wrinkles.

seatbelt, the whole thing.

Yes.

Have you ever encountered this where you have to be somewhere like completely put together

'I mean like always 'I feel like you leave the house, you do

Like talk, talk, pull, pull.

You know, all the 'I don't know.

That just made me think of that B it game.

But you know what 'I mean?

Like you gotta like, you gotta do yourself, twist it, pop it, pull it.

But yeah, you gotta make yourself try and look fresh again.

'I did buy 'I.

Don't know if it works, but 'I bought 'I left it in my car, like, um, it's like A',

'I haven't tried it yet.

Like are they gonna ding you like really hard for it or is it like Okay.

And it's just like really annoying.

You

no.

No one has 'I, haven't been scolded.

'I did get scolded for seeing 'I.

So we're supposed to be an all black and that includes socks and 'I have

Little bit of gray on the heel.

Stop.

No gray.

It's supposed to be all black.

'I was like okay.

Um, but no, no one has said anything about like the car wrinkling.

But it's frustrating to me cuz 'I really do spend A' lot of time ironing.

But maybe 'I could try the Downey Wrinkle release.

'I know David has like an emergency kit that he brings like for brides

Yeah.

'I found A' travel size one.

So 'I was like, oh, this is perfect.

I'll

Right.

Well that's my Complaint.

If anyone has any other suggestions besides the Downey wrinkle release, which is A' great idea.

Call in one eight fifty review zero Cuz it really 'I is A'

My only other idea, which 'I, don't know if that's like any less annoying

Because the only other thing, 'I guess, is like you could go in like everything, you

So 'I don't

Well now it's like freezing winter and so everyone is wearing like

Cause I'm like, I'm out.

I'm like going from the parking lot to the inside.

Like it's not

You'll

big of A' deal to me.

Yeah,

But yeah, no, 'I know 'I 'I know 'I could always just like

But no.

Anyway, that's my Complaint.

ChelseyBD.

What is your Complaint this week?

My Complaint is really probably like A' tale as old as time.

You go to the store and you have an item in mind that you wanna buy, and then you're like

control yourself.

And then you get to the aisle where the thing that you wanted to buy was, and it's sold out.

It's not there.

So now not only did 'I like make this trip because 'I wanted to get this particular item,

But now I've also filled my cart with probably A' bunch of stuff that 'I don't need.

But I'm not gonna just turn around and leave now because then it would

So I'm here and I'm buying this shit and it's annoying, you know?

Oh yeah.

No, I've definitely

this recently happened to me at A', certain grocery store that

And there was one item 'I needed and they were like, it's not gonna be

That's A' buzz kill right there.

'I had like A' craving.

was it A' Food item?

Yeah.

Oh, 'I.

Wonder why,

You know, there's just so many supply chain issues.

So 'I don't blame anybody.

It's not like anyone's fault.

It's just like 'I went, 'I really wanted this one item.

'I was like super excited about it.

Build A' cart with all the other items, you know, not there.

So annoying and I'm complaining about it.

Wait, so what kind of stores are you the most guilty at?

Good old standby basic is obviously Target.

That's the one where you can really do the most damage financially.

Cuz it's like you, you know, you went in for 'I, don't know anything really.

You could go to Target for anything and then end up in A' whole world of trouble.

So 'I think Target is probably the most often 'I mean.

The second is Trader Joe's for me, just because 'I love so many of their products and 'I want it.

And when that new product comes out and everybody wants it and then

And then we have A' supply chain issue and we can't get A' back for A'.

While it's really upsetting.

Yeah.

It's funny cuz 'I was like, 'I was really imagining in my mind, target.

Yeah,

But if 'I, think about it, 'I am someone who will like spur of the

right.

Like I've never actually considered that, but like 'I do feel

Oh hmm.

When I'm at grocery stores, like if I'm going down an

Or like you take like one thing for granted, like you wanna

This happened to me recently cuz there's like an egg shortage.

So it's like you get all the ingredients and then some and then they don't have the eggs.

have you been seeing these targeted ads on YouTube and Instagram?

'I can't remember what it's called cuz it's like, it's like A' word, but it's A'.

Bunch of letters that like make the word, but it's not actually how you

Oh, I'm sure I'll get advertised it now.

'I don't.

'I don't think I've seen this.

Yeah.

You forgot this one ingredient have it delivered.

Which 'I just think is such

'I mean it's smart.

But then at the same time, don't you think you'd end up spending like

Right?

You would've to be paying for all of that.

All the fees.

Right.

'I like to have A' mission and 'I like to complete it.

'I, that's, that's really what it comes down to.

'I hate an uncomplete mission.

That seems straightforward.

No 'I.

Hear you.

Yeah.

Well, why don't we get out of the grocery store and move

How do you feel about that?

'I feel great about that.

Let's do it.

ChelseyBD shall we?

Assess, That, Kvetch.

We shall

And why don't we go head to head because we have another verses episode

woo pack my boxing gloves.

as we have been alluding today, we are gonna cover both A' one-star

And today's gorgeous topic is Trader Joe's A'.

that's right.

So I'm so glad 'I have the five star this week, because 'I love Trader Joe's Trey.

You have the one star.

So to determine who reads first, we gotta flip that quota.

'I think it's my turn to.

Here we

'I 'I.

Am going Heads.

it's Heads 'I.

Feel

Woo.

first, the last 15,

Did 'I 'I Don't know.

Okay.

So ChelseyBD will read first, which is very exciting.

So we'll start with A' positive and end with the negative.

So today as mentioned, we are covering reviews for the American grocery store chain Trader Joe's.

And at the time of this recording, trader Joe's has A' hundred and three reviews on Trustpilot,

So here's some background info on Trader Joe's.

There are currently 569 stores across the United States, and the very first Trader Joe's opened

Colom

Cologne?

Cologne, Joe Colom, Joe.

Okay, so the founder's name is Joe.

Look at that.

The company actually began in 1958 under A', different name and

But Joe felt that the original Pronto markets were very much too similar to seven 11, and recognized

He actually has A' quote, he called seven 11, like the 800 pound gorilla of the world or something.

Joe realized he should pivot and noted that there were two trends that were growing in

So that first trend was the number of college educated people was rising

And then the second trend, they started adding these giant jumbo jets into

And those were set to premiere in 1970.

So everyone knew that international travel would be accelerating.

So that just leads to A' culture of better educated and more well-traveled people

Right.

And then this is interesting to note.

In 2004, business Week reported that Trader Joe's quintupled its number of stores between

And then in 2016, fortune Magazine estimated sales to be $1,750 in merchandise per square foot.

Which is more than double the sales generated by competitor Whole Foods,

Wow.

which makes Trader Joe's have the distinction of being the

It's quite A' distinction.

Pretty and San.

That's, that's, wow, that's amazing.

And we did not have Trader Joe's in South Carolina when 'I was growing

So 'I don't know why 'I decided to share that, but 'I wanted to.

So with all of that background info,

Yes,

'I think we have more knowledge about Joe Trader Joe's.

So let's jump in and let's start with that five star.

Let's do it.

Of that review.

All right.

So Trey and 'I decided that the world was our oyster this week.

So 'I tracked down A', particular Trader Joe's in Fremont, California.

So this is A' Yelp review of that particular location.

So this is Northern California A' little closer to San Francisco for A' reference.

This review was written by Brenda C as you know, it's A' five star review.

Here we go.

First, the Yelp reviews averaged 4.5 stars for this particular trader.

Joe's come to me at no surprise.

I'm actually feeling A' little guilty because sometimes 'I cheat on Joe

The one next to Joe kind of kinky 'I know.

'I.

Only do it because Safeway has more time for me since he's available 24 hours, which

Say what?

Swear.

That's what he said.

But I'm not complaining.

I'm grateful.

Fremont has that 24 hour gem around.

Just find it funny when A' grocery store runs out of milk.

All of it before 'I tell you why.

'I love tj.

'I would like to point out that having had A' crazy busy schedule between yesterday and

My last drop of mental fuel comes from the friendly service and quality experience 'I

'I realized it was all because of Joe.

Then it dawned on me, 'I always leave his place with A' smile.

It's so easy to find what I'm looking for here.

Joe gives me the perfect amount of.

As the saying goes, more isn't always better.

For example, 'I was grabbing froyo one night at some small froyo shop and they couldn't decide

Such unnecessary desires and drama wouldn't have existed in my mind

Lol, 'I digress again.

wide tooth smile emoji.

Anyway, Joe consistently keeps his shelves and isles clean and

Enter, browse, decide, choose, and check.

Turkey burgers, frozen cod filets and tangerine juice are among my favorite TJ items.

Also, their frozen Indian cuisine choices are delicious too.

Love the lamb, vue and garlic.

Non lastly, A'.

Lot of handsome men that work there.

'I blush admitting it, but it's true.

Check the place out for yourself for those who are into that sort of thing.

Of course, tongue out emoji

Oh,

brands.

did you say Wa

'I did.

Did she abbreviate her name?

A' as A'.

Yeah.

Brands,

B R E N Z.

should we call her brands?

Oh, without question.

Are you kidding?

Okay,

Brynn.

it's friends.

'I.

Think Brenda C.

'I.

Think the C stands for Lingus cuz she's A'.

Horny Motherfucker.

'I was just about to say 'I.

Think that BRZ is like real horny and I'm not judging 'I get it.

But 'I think that BRZ was like 'I don't know, like titillated by her experience

'I.

Think this review is more horny than the she comes first episode.

It might be, it might be Brent's.

Really A' pacs on the heat.

And you know, it was definitely A' stylistic choice.

There were A', few other reviews that went with this like love letter option.

'I just thought there was A'.

Little bit more to pick apart here for brands.

yeah.

Bres really like, comes from A'.

Very specific tone.

Like, like there's like A', really specific feel throughout, maybe because at the

yeah.

incest kinky?

Because she cheated on Joe.

No.

Well, it's not really incest, is it?

the brother.

cheated on, but she cheated on Joe with his older brother.

That's an incest for her.

That's just her being A' little, you

it's incest for her cunt.

Bronco, , 'I, guess so.

'I never really thought about it that way, but 'I just think

But is that kinky?

Would you consider that A' kink having sex with the same family members?

for some people.

Sure.

Like maybe

the, this is getting into

this is,

but it's um, right at the top of this review, which is so interesting.

Okay.

Also, full disclosure, I've never been to A' Safeway,

'I.

Don't think I've been to A' Safeway either.

but they're 24 hours.

24 hour Safeway, 'I wanna say it's like A', more like A' regular

Think it's like, um, what's that grocery store in Manhattan?

You have one around the corner too.

'I think, help me out.

No, the one in the city begins with A'.

F 'I.

Think Fairway.

Thank you.

Yeah, 'I.

Think 'I was like questioning if it was the same thing.

'I.

Think it's like maybe similar to A' Fairway.

Cuz isn't the idea with Fairway or 'I.

Remember it used to be in the city that like shopping at Fairway was cheaper

don't know.

'I don't think I've been to A'.

Food Emporium

what Trey, where did you shop?

In Manhattan.

Well, in ChelseyBD there was A'

Oh, okay.

so we went there.

Anyway, the point is 'I think it's like A', slightly cheaper grocery store.

But on the Upper West Side, A' brand New Trader Joe's opened two blocks away.

So 'I always went to the Trader Joe's.

And I'm also like hearing, because 'I, remember Trader Joe's was new for me

And there is A' whole culture like brands gets into of like.

Their own stuff that you sort of have to like learn and like you have to like

And 'I, remember when 'I lived in LA for A' couple of months.

'I went to that Trader Joe's and it was A'.

Completely different experience because in Manhattan it's like swarms of people.

'I don't think 'I ever left smiling.

It's really, really

It's very stressful cuz it, well, especially like, it was not like

You actually had to shop in line.

You know, like you, you could only shop the aisles and then the perimeter of the store you shopped

So like for anyone that hasn't shopped in Manhattan at

There's A', smaller square footage because real estate is so expensive and they literally

So you can't like

might as well just get on the line

you need to get in the line and shop while you're stuck in the line

Anyway, that's A' very different experience because when 'I was shopping in West Hollywood,

I'll say like that, 'I think that that is an anomaly.

So, okay, so then that brings me back to something that Bryz was saying,

Yeah.

How many times do you go up and down the same miles, 'I, 'I?

Think if 'I was going three times, I'd be stressed out.

'I just think that brands is painting A' picture that I've ha

And there's like lots of space to move around that before you know it, you've

Or you know, 'I don't know.

You're just like 'I think in this like blissful, euphoric, preco state.

Definitely.

For brands,

but 'I mean obviously.

We need to start off right at the top by talking about the fact that BRZ did spend A' lot of

Talking about things that were not Trader Joe's.

In this review, we spoke A' lot about Safeway.

We have that weird froyo

Yes.

moment.

What do we think about that in 'I?

'I?

Mean 'I.

Know this is A' stylized review.

We have 14 funny votes, so maybe we're A', little bit more forgiving, you know, in that atmosphere.

And also 'I.

Gotta point.

Actually, 'I, just wanna point out 'I know I'm, I'm maybe about to contradict what 'I just said,

A', lot of people in this particular trader, Jew, trader Jews, wow.

Trader Joe's Yelp page did talk about this.

Safeway, because it's in the same shopping center.

Right.

Well, the Safeway seems, uh, like it's adding value to the comparison.

The froyo felt like A' tangent on top of A' tangent, which 'I under 'I understood.

And 'I actually agree with.

Like, you don't know how overwhelming too many choices are until you're trying to get froyo in

But it has nothing to do with Trader Joe's.

It felt that felt obnoxious to.

right.

It felt like we could have understood the metaphor without that example, or maybe with using an

I'm fine with the three that Trader Joe's is offering.

Right.

And at the top of the review, like when they're talking about Safeway, it started selling

That seems so much nicer.

Like, uh, like 'I was really like idolizing that over Trader Joe's.

So 'I felt like brands was leading me off the topic.

right?

Like 'I thought it was A' little odd.

Even though 'I understand that the Safeway's in the same shopping center

'I still thought it was A' little weird that we were focusing so much at the top

But we're also sort of setting up this whole kind of kinky 'I know thing

So

But would you ever, do you think of A' smile as something that you wear?

You are never fully dressed without A' smile.

Sure.

'I.

'I don't, doesn't bother me.

Why does it bother you when someone says they're wearing A'?

Smile

No, but it really makes me think in A' deep psychological

Cuz 'I think of smiling as something I'm putting on, but not that I'm wearing A' smile.

That's 'I.

Think that is A' psychological

Do you hear that distinction though?

'I do.

Because when you're saying I'm putting, when I'm putting on A'

That's disingenuous.

'I have to put it on.

When I'm wearing A' smile, I've become aware of the fact that, oh my God, and I'm smiling,

It's like that moment of like 'I can see it, it feels kind of cinematic.

Like I'm, I'm walking back to my car and I'm smiling 'I like, oh, 'I God, I'm smiling.

Why am 'I smiling?

'I 'I.

Guess I'm smiling cuz of Joe.

That's ever happened to you before.

No, I've never suddenly caught myself smiling.

I'm not A' lunatic

What?

'I A'.

A' Lunatic.

Cuz 'I have

'I.

Just think that brands going up and down the aisles for the third fucking time, just smiling,

Like she's A' lunatic.

She's A' lunatic,

Stop judging.

Brn so hard.

Bren just needs to get some, leave her be

So do you think there's any value, new or unique information

Trader Joe's,

'I mean.

It's A'.

Little bit of fishing, you know, for information which isn't always like the best style.

Like you can surmise from this review that the service is really good.

We've dropped.

We've dropped like the Turkey burgers, the frozen cod filets.

The tangerine juice.

Tangerine juice is so good.

Oh my god.

Have you ever gotten it

no.

Oh my God.

The tangerine juice A' Trader

Wait.

Have you ever had those sriracha waffle chips?

No,

Oh,

spicy girl though.

oh my God.

ChelseyBD

Yeah,

'I have literally like, I'll take back every Royal Highness I've ever inducted

Oh my

Those sriracha waffle chips are literally to die

are they like waffle fries or like, just like A' waffle potato chip with

They're just like, that's right.

Waffle potato chips.

Oh, and 'I.

Don't think I've ever had A' bottle of sriracha.

Like I'm not A' Tabasco hot sauce person.

It is just like, do you like barbecue chips?

Yes.

Like 'I, like barbecue chips?

Like Yeah, 'I have A'.

Positive affinity for them.

But like if I'm gonna get chips, 'I just want lays regular potato chips.

Like how?

'I just like vanilla.

It's 'I.

'I.

Okay.

'I.

Feel for lunatic.

Brenda Bren's here.

Excuse me.

Because 'I don't want A' lot of choices when it comes to ice cream or fro you.

But I'll tell you when 'I was, and 'I haven't been to Trader Joe's in A' very

But 'I would get like four or five of those bags of the sriracha chaps

And wait.

'I,

But this is like the point, like even you, you're making fun of friends,

You just said that you would take away every Royal Highness for this one chip.

Right?

it's the product, not because there's handsome men and I'm

we're treating, this is obviously like somewhat of A' metaphor, right?

Like we're being creative.

So we are getting that point across of like, this is the way that people feel about Trader Joe's.

Like they are this passionate about it.

They will miss an opportunity to do something with their husband to go to Trader Joe's.

'I.

People get off from Trader Joe's.

Look, 'I think brands is gonna get A' High Crown from me, so I'm

You're right.

Friends 'I don't think you're A' Luna Tech, but do think that brands took A'.

Lot of artistic license, spent A' lot of time talking about things that were not Trader Joe's

Or the service in the store.

Besides their looks, what are, what do they actually do to help you?

Like, yeah, 'I agree.

A'.

Little bit

right.

Cuz it's also like, the point is that the reason why you're so happy is because they're

horniness

well.

No acts of service.

service.

Isn't that A' Love language?

'I Don't know.

'I know.

Whoever came up with those long of languages is like staunchly, homophobic.

Oh really?

That was like revealed later.

So I've never read the book, but

I've never read it either.

'I think that brands provides A'.

Lot of unique information more so than new or valuable, but 'I, but 'I there 'I,

Correct.

Spelling, grammar.

Were there any s

there were like, the way that Brent's write, some of her sentences

There were A' few times when 'I just thought things could have been worded differently.

'I don't think there were any like, you know, overt spelling errors or anything like that.

But 'I do think, you know, brs, she got A' little carried away.

A' in moments.

got A'.

Little excited

Yeah, she got A'.

Little, little, uh, yeah.

A' little burst of something.

Yeah.

Truthful.

Shady, definitely.

'I.

Think truthful to Brenda.

Certainly not shady.

It's A'.

Five star.

Well, maybe A' little shady towards Safeway.

No, but 'I don't even think it's shaded A' Safeway, because 'I feel like the impact

You've never had such A' Joy.

The joys of shopping at 2:00 AM are amazing.

I've done it.

Sometimes shopping at like 2:00 AM can be kind of like weird because they're like sometimes

But it's so quiet.

It's so nice.

just get it all to yourself.

it's great.

Do you think this is A' common or fluke?

Typical experience

Definitely for this location.

I'll say common.

This was not the only love letter 'I mean.

'I had A' really hard time picking out which review 'I wanted to go with cuz there were A'.

Lot of thank you, but there were A' lot that were like super passionate in their own.

In their own way.

So 'I do think this is common.

'I think this is A' really well loved location is what 'I was.

'I looked up like Top Trader Joe's in California and that was how 'I found this Yelp page.

So 'I do think this is one of the more beloved stores.

Yeah.

'I would imagine that the experience is probably going to be similar, but 'I

Very unusual way

also think like you don't hear brands that often, you know,

and the like tongue out emoji is 'I.

Don't know that we've ever covered that on the review show

And it's like the old 'I didn't know how to say it when 'I was reading it, but

Yeah.

So it's like, yeah, the Big D.

Exactly.

So like the Teethy grin was

Wait, when was this written?

this was written in 2012.

So that makes sense, right?

So alright.

Humor entertained totally on

'I was entertained.

Yes.

and then impact Deal breaker 'I.

Mean 'I.

Want to go to A'?

Safeway?

'I wanna, like 'I would wanna go to this shopping center

Cuz anything 'I can't get A' Trader Joe's 'I can go over to the 24

All right.

'I.

Think 'I can crown this.

How do you feel?

All right.

'I can Crown Brands.

So ChelseyBD and 'I each have our own set of zero to five crown cards.

In an effort to be fair and not influence one another, we will simultaneously reveal our rating.

The Queens are Tabulating

to the school.

Okay, the Queens are unanimous.

Four crowns.

Four crowns, Trey.

Why four Crowns for brands.

'I.

Literally last second moved it up.

I'm really still torn between three and A'.

Half and four.

'I feel like three.

And A' half is A'.

Little too low because 'I do think the impact is exceedingly positive.

So 'I went with four, but 'I wouldn't give more crowns because 'I don't.

Like 'I wanted brands to center the intention of the review.

A' little bit more into reality and less comedy.

Woowoo horny land.

But, but 'I, 'I got the impact.

'I get that.

This is like someone who is truly singing the praises for the unique

And so for that reason, 'I said four 'I think it has A' large impact.

And 'I agree about Froyo.

So that's why 'I said four.

Why did you say four?

Literally ditto.

You know, 'I wanted more information about Trader Joe's itself.

'I think 'I Love A' Joke review, jokey review, that also still manages to

Or like what if 'I really was someone that had never shopped at Trader Joe's?

And what?

'I just A' little bit more information about what 'I can expect in the experience outside

So 'I was sort of left with just wanting A' little more.

But 'I always wanna give people high points for being creative.

As someone that spends an enormous amount of time in reviews, it's like it can get quite boring.

'I feel like 'I need to reward that.

And 'I wanna reward brands accordingly.

With Four Crowns, great job brands.

Yeah.

Brands.

The entire thing is like, you know, A' nod to Hawaiian culture.

And yet guys, no Trader Joe's in Hawaii.

Fascinating.

No Trader Joe's in North Dakota or South Dakota, Alaska, Wyoming, west Virginian, or Mississippi.

Think you got more.

There were 13 total guesses.

Good work,

Well, 'I just feel like 'I am much closer to my nation than I've ever been.

Vote for me for President 2024.

Review, That, Review.

All right, we are back from that rousing game break around

Trey.

Let's hear it.

That one star review.

I've been dreading this moment, but I'm ready.

All right.

So, yes, today 'I had the privilege of sourcing our one star review for today.

So 'I went to Better Business Bureau and 'I found this Onestar from A',

Brenda and Brian.

Brian Brands.

All right, so this is actually for A', another store in

And this is Brian's one star Better Business Bureau Review for Trader Joe's this morning.

As 'I do every week, 'I drove A' long way to this Trader Joe's for flowers, parentheses,

This store, it's cutting down the amount of flowers and quantity, and they have

They were all leaned over and the very tops of them were suffering like they

'I saw they were not in water exclamation.

Mark 'I requested the manager named.

and then A'.

Better Business Bureau like removes these names.

So it just says four asterisks space, four asterisks.

He has worked there for the whole time.

I've gone to this location, parenthesis two years.

He has never smiled.

He doesn't say thank you.

He always looks unhappy as he barely stares over his manager station in front.

It was made very clear today how little he cares.

When he finally came out from the back, he helped one of his cashiers while 'I continued to wait.

Then he came over and said, yeah, how can 'I help you?

'I showed him the bad condition of the flowers that they are not in water,

Long way to get there.

He said, yeah, we don't put 'em in water so they won't bloom Really.

'I said they had been in water in the past, and thus 'I have always needed to use the plastic

He said, I'll have to ask the person who takes care of the flowers da da dot,

She yelled back, we don't put them in water so they won't bloom.

'I said that the flowers are close to dead because they are caps not in water.

Just then manager's name that's hidden an asterisks cuts me off as if to

And he said, well, that's all we have.

And he walked away.

Not one single, I'm sorry, not one single.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

He is simply A', self-centered, rude person who has no qualms about acting this way in front

Manager's name, that's asterisk out.

Question mark.

Bad exclamation.

Mark.

Manager Bad.

Oh my God, it's A'.

Yeah, 'I.

Mean.

A'.

Little bit of A' caring Bri.

Okay, so.

'I don't want to condone poor customer service.

'I am surprised that there was poor customer service at Trader Joe's because

correct,

this is A' little bit shocking and I'll give Brian that, but 'I don't know

Cuz he's making all these like very personal attacks, like, uh, that he's self-centered,

'I don't think you can like say that someone is self-centered because they're like, sorry,

And then you're like, yeah, you do.

And then you know, like 'I don't know.

'I just don't think that self-centered is really the right expression.

'I think that.

If you don't like the way that, like what do you want them to do at that point?

Like, if you don't like the way the flowers look, well then don't buy them.

You know, like 'I can understand that you're annoyed because you went there and the manager

Wish the quality was better.

We're getting A' new shipment of flowers tomorrow or what.

You know, there was like other ways that the manager could have handled it certainly.

But Brian is kind of blowing this A' little bit out of proportion.

How old do you think Brian is?

You know what's funny is 'I feel it.

'I get like older man vibes from Brian, but then 'I feel like Brian is not an old man name.

Right, because 'I definitely have A' sense that this is an older gentleman.

And I'm also hearing that it does feel like Brian's coming from stuff because at the

So it does seem like there's A', lot of psychological stuff going on here when we're

Right 'I feel like I've gone to grocery store 'I mean like my Complaint

Like even though that happened to me at Trader Joe's this past week, I'm not gonna

You know what 'I mean?

Like 'I was annoyed that 'I went all the way there for this one thing and they didn't have it.

But I'm not gonna be like, I'm never gonna go back there

'I mean is that even A' real strategy?

'I guess it probably is because 'I, when I'm picking out flowers, 'I try to

So I've never thought about that.

Yeah, 'I was gonna ask you about that.

Like maybe they soak them in water, but they're not gonna like leave them sitting in water.

It's not the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Also, Brian mentioning these plastic liners like 'I know exactly what he's talking

'I know exactly what he's talking about too.

But for whatever reason, 'I don't remember them having them at Trader Joe's.

Oh, 'I.

'I definitely

do.

Okay.

Okay.

All right.

So Brian 'I mean like, do we think that Brian is being shady?

'I feel like A' little bit.

'I feel A'.

Little bit too 'I feel like Brian is upset and throwing it at every aspect.

Like they, they wanna mention that they go out of their way to go to this location also.

Do you, whose fault do you think it is that the inventory is getting smaller?

'I?

Don't think it's the manager.

'I.

Think it's based on sales.

'I think that Brian is really like personifying the manager as the end all be

And 'I just don't think that that's accurate or fair.

'I mean.

'I think the manager should have handled this situation maybe better.

You know, maybe not let Brian leave so upset.

Maybe be like A' little bit more understanding.

That's where 'I feel like the manager failed.

But Brian is really taking this personally also.

Like this is on the Trader Joe's page and it's only about the flowers.

Correct.

How do we feel about that?

Well, 'I 'I mean 'I knew that this would be A' topic of conversation

It's, it's like not even A' food product.

So like yeah, 'I

And like what is the goal with Better Business Bureau because like,

Right.

The major Complaint here is that the manager didn't say sorry once, what are, do you want

Like what is the goal?

That's, yeah, like, it's like what is the

like you were attacked

Or like 'I guess like if the food quality was like really bad

'I, just think like better business bureau because he said,

extreme issues.

Not

not like my, the flowers were dead and 'I didn't buy them.

Right.

Right.

Brian didn't like, other than the gas money that they spent to drive there,

Well, 'I also recognize in reading it, A' contradiction cuz Brian is really painting.

This manager as like always having A', A', sour puss face on their manager podium.

And then it's like when he finally came out of the back.

So I'm like, okay, which is it Brian?

Are they looking sour pussy up on their little thing or are they making you wait forever because

Yeah,

which is 'I.

'I mean whatever.

Brian was heated 'I mean, look, 'I am someone who 'I will buy flowers when 'I go to Trader Joe's.

Very much your Complaint where it's like 'I don't know that I'm going

But 'I know that.

I'm like, let me just get A' fresh popup color to put in my house for the week.

Like I'll grab it.

So like 'I do think that there like maybe that's useful.

Like cuz 'I do think of the flowers at Trader Joe's.

Like that's

'I mean it might be useful to know, like maybe this location doesn't

but it's kind of reaching.

It is reaching.

It does make me wonder, like why is somebody going to Better Business Bureau to look through reviews?

'I think it's age.

That's

Age.

Okay, so

but 'I don't

else in Brian's age demographic because better Business Bureau

Okay.

That's fair.

All right.

But 'I don't know.

We're making that up.

'I don't know why Brian went here.

Maybe Brian did this on every website, you know?

But like 'I do think like maybe when you're older, like you're A' little crotchety

A' terrible.

Tell me A', sorry.

You know, like maybe the manager walked away because you're being

Well, that's the thing cuz it's like at the end of the 'I mean, listen, 'I

And you're like, sorry, we don't have any others that isn't that really

Okay, well then don't buy it.

Also when you say, this is our procedure.

and then the customer is saying, no, it's not.

So then you get A' second opinion from someone else who knows the procedure

And then the customer once again says You're wrong.

Then you've reached an impasse.

There's nowhere else to go.

And like you would think that saying, sorry, is the exit line.

So this one like 'I guess just said, well, that's all we have.

'I.

Just feel

I'm sorry,

this is like the perfect example of the like doth protest.

Too much 'I.

Just don't buy that Brian.

So gently put the clothes back on the buy the register.

You know what 'I mean?

'I just like 'I.

Don't 'I.

'I don't buy that.

Like 'I just don't think that Brian was his best self that day.

'I think Brian went in there like A', you know, bull in A' China shop or whatever with like

Really hot and heavy.

And sometimes that can be hard to deal with.

And in A' weird way, it's like making me feel compassion for the manager,

'I know it's having A'.

Little bit of the opposite impact.

Cuz I'm just like, ugh,

What do you think about the phrase heading for dead?

'I wrote that down.

Because they say it twice.

heard of that before.

'I mean, obviously 'I understand what it means,

Yeah.

It makes like it is like grammatically like heading for dead, but 'I would

close to death.

Heading towards death.

Yeah.

'I don't know.

Near, near, near dead.

'I.

Don't

Do you think this is typical?

. Do you think people are like noticing the $2 increase?

Maybe if you buy these flowers every week but

Maybe.

Yeah, maybe 'I.

Guess that's like what?

That's the, that's the value.

Is that like we know the price difference?

'I.

Think so?

Yeah.

Definitely.

No humor here.

No.

Very

A'.

Funny issue for Brian.

An ultimate impact, eh?

Kind of feel bad for the manager.

Yeah, it's pretty minimal.

'I mean unless like, cuz 'I do know at Trader Joe's there is A' platform that the floor manager

So like if it does seem like this person is like scowling all the time, that might be A' damper.

But 'I at this point, 'I don't know if 'I can trust the narrator.

Exactly 'I.

Think that's where I'm struggling.

Yeah.

'I think 'I can crown Brian.

All right.

'I can crown Brian, let's do.

Let's do it.

The Queens are Tabulating.

Were you unanim us again?

Okay.

One and A' Half Crowns One and A' half crowns.

'I did one and A' half.

Honestly, purely because Trader Joe's does pride themselves on being so above and

But other than that, 'I just like 'I don't really trust the narrator.

It's not really giving me A' full picture of the Trader Joe's experience.

And there's A', lot of details in here that 'I don't feel like are the manager's fault.

Like maybe the pricing or the supplying or the fact that you particularly

Like none of that really adds up to this store.

Did you wrong?

It adds up to you were in A' bad mood and maybe didn't present your best self that day.

So for that reason, sorry, Brian.

Sorry, Bri.

Bri couldn't give you more than one and A' half crowns.

How about you?

Trey?

'I,

Yeah, 'I agree.

'I mean 'I said one and A', half 'I.

Think strictly for if I'm going to believe that Brian is being truthful.

'I think the Complaint here is that they didn't get A'.

Sorry, 'I don't know that.

Sorry.

Would've had an impact on Brian cuz it seems like Brian was very loaded but 'I said one and A' half.

Cuz 'I feel like, all right, well maybe like, because they mention this manager by

You can't see the name, but 'I might have A' feeling of like, okay, maybe management

So that might Nestle somewhere in the recesses of my brain.

Sure.

but 'I.

Don't know.

'I really feel like this is A' character study more than it is an assessment of this location.

Totally agree.

But 'I do love Trader Joe's flowers.

So 'I said one and A' half

'I heading for dad, basically.

for dead.

Well, to summarize Brian and Brands 'I, mean 'I feel like I'm definitely more A'

And we know you are

Yeah, definitely more of A' friends than A' Bri?

definitely 'I.

Do think the resounding impact here is like we love Trader Joe's

And so if there is any experience that deviates from that, then that has an impact

So you

That's A'.

That's A'.

Good point.

Trey, just quickly, cuz 'I 'I did go to A', trader Joe's once and 'I never returned to that

Like why would 'I go to A', trader Joe's location where someone was rude when, part of

So good point there in the end.

Funny.

This is A', funny tidbit, non-sequitur, but 'I once worked with this guy who was

He was like, even like nasty and shady to me.

And he, he, his other job was Trader Joe's and 'I just, hi.

Just hearing that 'I thought, that makes no sense.

You're, and he actually was fired from my job for being too inhospitable and 'I really thought Wow.

And they're like, A' cashier at Trader Joe's.

'I.

Cannot imagine

'I.

Can't imagine

'I mean the shirts are colorful and fun, you know,

exactly.

'I won't stop.

VEing over the Trader Joe's employees, the Trader Joe's experience.

The Trader Joe's products.

'I love it.

The Trader Joe's candles Don't even get me started.

Live for it.

And with all this like VEing and ness in mind, Trey, we've officially reached

Who are you inducting for?

sanitizer in the form of A' spray.

Genius.

Have you ever had spraying hand sanitizer?

Not gel.

Exclusive.

I'm an exclusive spray.

Yes.

Okay, so the product 'I currently have is from Grove and during quarantine,

'I.

That's the first time 'I noticed these little hand travel sprays.

So it is like spritzing little mini and 'I.

Keep them in my car.

And 'I bought A' huge back stash that 'I keep in the garage.

That 'I can keep my car stocked because 'I 'I 'I genuinely don't know what it is.

But there is something that is so much more satisfying about spritzing my hands.

It's just A' light mist that 'I can wipe.

It's dry so quick compared to the squirting of A' gel.

You squirt too much.

It's all slippery, sloppy, it goes through your fingers.

You don't want it to get it on your

Really hard to portion control.

Pushing control is A' challenge.

You have to rub A' lot longer because you need it to soak into your skin and it's gel.

And then sometimes there's A' tacky stickiness.

'I hate that.

So, you know, for that reason, 'I have to induct hand sanitizing spray as My.

Royal Highness.

It is just, it is the tit as

Full circle, try.

Is that A'?

from Trader Joe's.

It is like, just like all the others, but sheer smells really good.

'I like, I'm only mad that you made this induction because now 'I can't because 'I Li, like even

And as soon as 'I found the spray, 'I was like never looking back.
