Eating at the intersection of Tasty and Infuriating.
So, Trader Joe's. All I really wanted was one of those Cubano wraps and a salad. On paper...in theory...this should be a 5 minute proposition. Park, walk directly to item, purchase, leave, and consume.
When will I ever learn that Trader Joe's doesn't really work like a grocery store, or traditional retail business of any sort. It's more akin to an indoor farmer's market. Not the shitty little one's that you can also pop in and out of in a few minutes, no, I'm talking about the shitty big one's that are congested with aging hippies and vegans.
My quick trip for lunch took 20 minutes. 5 of which was spent in the most passive stand-off I've ever taken part in.
