"Yesterday, I went to buy groceries at Trader Joe's. As I was walking out of my place, I looked to my right and saw a homeless guy's unwashed asscrack as he was bending over to pick up cans. I get to the store. There, in the parking lot, I see a 60-something-year-old white guy that's wearing tie-dye "

"Trader Joe's is actually pretty affordable but it still counts as bougie. The local hipster butcher in the gentrified part of town. Locally sourced coffee...

"Any time I go to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's to buy things I get so enraged if it's crowded, and think most of these people should shop at Walmart."
"I went to Trader Joe's this afternoon, which I'm sure most of you know is a hellscape with minimal parking even on sleepiest of days.
