Overheard at #traderjoes today. Woman: “Why is there a line? There’s never a line at this time?” Worker: “M’am, not sure if you heard, theres something called a #pandemic going on.” ? #SocialDistancing

When all of the #Covid_19 #CoronavirusPandemic craziness is over, at least #TraderJoes will have some good data on what they should cut from their product line. If it can’t sell during an end of the world semi-panic, it probably doesn’t need to take up shelf space pic.twitter.com/Fadkhtc6LJ

I guess #TraderJoes might wanna re-evaluate this product ? pic.twitter.com/c0HgW53ToR

Food stores/brands should take this as an opportunity to see what consumers choose last even preparing for self-quarantine... looking at you hot dogs ? #TraderJoes #CoronavirusPandemic pic.twitter.com/EtTGuqIpzb

Virtually nothing left but gluten-free white bread at #TraderJoes.
The best part was when the checkout guy asked me if I found everything I wanted. I laughed and he said sorry, that's just a reflex. pic.twitter.com/ElOTo0i6eR

Somehow reassuring in the midst of #coronavirus shopping frenzy to know that people still have the sense *not* to buy #chocolatehummus and buffalo hummus. #traderjoes #dc pic.twitter.com/fLvuUFWz3Y
