Em's Flingo on Lists
I have come to the conclusion that I do not possess the superior wit of Sonia and Lindsay, and that I simply can't compete with their hilarious postings.
I do, however, go to Trader Joe's a lot. So here, in order from best to worst, are my Southern California area Trader Joe's:
1. Trader Joe's Westwood: (3456 South Sepulveda Blvd.) The oldest socal TJ's features ample parking and the friendliest TJ's cashier's I've ever run into. Plus, they had like 7 different varieties of frozen pizzas here. Oh, and the cheese section is massive. Can't top that.
2. Trader Joe's Culver City: (9290 Culver Blvd.) Conveniently located right off the 10 freeway, this is the TJ's I visit the most. It's attached to a parking structure, so finding a spot is never an issue. It also has the widest aisles of any TJ's I've ever been to, which means a lot when you're schlepping a cart full of goat cheese and $2.99 wine.
3. Trader Joe's West Hollywood: (7304 Santa Monica Blvd.) I guess I have a penchant for parking lots, because TJ's WeHo is next on my list thanks to the vast concrete oasis of parking out front. Besides that, TJ's WeHo also separates it's "organic" foods from all the rest-- so if you're into that sort of thing, it can make shopping a lot easier. For some unknown reason, a lot of Russian people shop here. Last time I was there, the guy at the checkout spoke Russian to the person in front of me. He then proceeded to speak to me in French. I'm not French, but I give TJ's WeHo points for being so bilingual, at least.
4. Trader Joe's Santa Monica: (10850 National Blvd.) Sometimes, when I'm on my way home from some god-awful spending spree at the Promenade, I take it upon myself to stop by TJ's SM. It's always a mistake. There are probably 12 parking spots behind this sorry excuse for a grocery store. It's miserable. Never go there.
5. Trader Joe's La Brea: (263 South La Brea) This is the creepiest TJ's, hands down. The parking is a mess, and ever since they changed their produce/wine/cereal setup, I'm lost every time I go there. One time, I witnessed one customer accost another in the "10 Items or Less" line because, well, he thought she didn't actually have 10 items or less. And finally, (I'm just going to say it) there are a lot of Jews that shop here, and old Jewish moms annoy me. Get your frickin' kosher meat and get the hell out.
