For Trader Joe's, a New York Taste Test - New York Times

Not sure the New York angle should have even been played. Good behind the scenes look at Trader Joe's. Not too many articles about these guys. I think they have 100 percent seperated and washed lettuce (and packaged produce in general) because they don't have scales at the cash registers. No scales means you can't buy bananas by the pound, but you can buy them by the piece. The whole thing with the inability to comparison shop is irksome. I'm not usre that in the end they are that much cheaper. Just different and maybe better (depending if you like wild blueberry juice) for the same price.
