Trader Joe's - Tulsa Location

[Pete]

Went in here about 2PM this afternoon (Sunday) and while it was very, very busy, it wasn't horrible.

They were sold out of a bunch of stuff, though.

They were also giving free reusable TJ's shopping bags.

That looks pretty busy, but it is Sunday though I'd expect it to be...

[Pete]

It's funny because since TJ's is completely new in OK and it's an unusual store to start with, navigating through there was quite an experience.

Everyone in there looked a little lost and confused.

Fortunately for me, their layouts are pretty standard and I grabbed what I wanted very quickly. Otherwise, the aisles were absolutely choked with everyone looking at each little jar and looking pretty lost.

I remember even when they opened the new TJ's by me in California, for the first few months it wasn't much different because even a lot of Californians had not been in there much and it's a very different type of place.

Grab me some cookie butter and chocolate croissants next time? I'm excited for my kosher eating sister in law. Last time she was here her only options were raw vegetables and Philadelphia cream cheese.

[Pete]

They were completely out of cookie butter and a bunch of their more popular items.

I was there on Sunday at 2PM -- 6 hours from closing -- and the place looked like it had been looted.

As is their standard, the employees were still all happy and friendly, despite the circus atmosphere. TJ's does a great job of hiring and retaining people who are happy to work there.
