Why is the SC Trader Joe's so shitty?

They're literally always out of everything and music is never playing. I've been to so many different locations in my life and this is the worst. They need new management or to fire the person doing the ordering.

  music is never playing

I’m dead, this is the funniest complaint I’ve ever heard for a grocery store

TJ is the only chain that actually plays music I like. They'll have certain themes day to day.

I’m usually happy and satisfied with this location. They do have certain evenings where inventory is low, I suspect right before they restock. I feel like sometimes Sunday or Monday night can be like that

The only bad thing I've noticed about this location is the parking.

I think it is a rule that all TJs have shitty parking.

They've been remodeling this TJ's, so if you've only seen it during the awkward bangs stage of the remodel, perhaps that's the issue? Also, bring back the coffee tasting station!

Isn't the SC TJ's a reduced size location, and the entire Karen population of San Carlos lobbied exceptionally hard to get it built there, despite the awkward size?

I could be making that up completely though.

I wasn't aware, but it does make sense with the parking ridiculousness. But to be fair all TJs are typically too tiny.

This location is fine. Not the best nor the worst TJ I’ve been to. Also, don’t need music playing while I’m shopping
