There are two types of grocery shoppers in this world.
The first kind are those who just spew bad vibes from the moment they take a cart.
They would sooner sit through a root canal than stock up on essentials.
They live to be surrounded by products promising to delight the taste buds.
Luckily, there is a store for both the miserable and joyous to co-exist:Trader Joe’s.
The store has definitely found its band of loyal followers.
The health-minded grocery store stands out from the competition for abounty of reasons.
New products are introduced weekly to an already impressive selection of eclectic foods.
This can be overwhelming to those who are faithful to the familiar.
Fortunately,Trader Joe’shas found a way for the timid to be daring.
They have a “try before you buy” policy (viaPopSugar).
An anonymous Trader Joe’s employee tellsMental Floss:“I love when customers ask to try products!
There are a few guidelines when it comes to sampling.
To avoid any eye rolling directed your way, do not start hungrily ripping open packages in the aisles.
Always ask an employee to open any packaged product you wish to sample.
Hard liquor is not allowed, but wine is available if you’re of age.
So what else is off limits?
Fortunately, ice cream is the exception to the frozen-item rule.
So, it’s okay if you still fall under the category of grumpy shopper.
Just remember that the newest cookie butter flavor or sharp cheddar can be enjoyed on the spot.
