This happened at Trader Joes.

So I work at trader joes and as some of you may know TJS sells Israeli goods. Breads, cheeses, snacks, wine, etc. Wellllll recently there's been a big crackdown on lots of stuff especially individual expression. They took down our whiteboards and made it so that we aren't allowed to write on anything. We usually have chalk board lockers we can personalize and those have been replaced with sterile lockers we cannot personalize. We are also no longer allowed to wear bandanas because they have been used to make "political statements." I'm assuming they're referring to keffiyeh. I'm assuming this comes specifically from corporate trying to choke back and keep us from talking about Palestine.

I don't have much to say or any call to action other than maybe contact your trader joes or trader joes corporate and let them know how you feel about the sale of Israeli goods in their stores. Maybe also complain about how miserable your local trader joes employees seem as well. This company is always pretending to be so hippy dippy progressive but it's all for show. Don't fall for it.

edit: “wheres Lidl” “where where’s piggly wiggly” “where’s HEB” THERES ONLY 12 SLOTS THATS WHY I PUT A “Something Else” OPTION!!!! /lh

another edit: I’m not saying that publix is affordable or practical (i completely agree, it’s fucking expensive) i just said it was the best. Also pub subs are fire.

smuckers v trader joe’s uncrustable lawsuit my roman empire. normally i couldn’t care less what two greedy food empires attack each other over BUT as the evil sandwich monopoly claims intellectual theft or whatever (note: smuckers did not create the uncrustable, this invention was sold to them by the og creators) what truly gets me is that the lawsuit declares that trader joe’s turn over their complete crustless sandwich inventory to be destroyed (and their profits but idgaf about that).

the corporate need to not only halt the sales of the sandwiches, but actually destroy goods, and fucking food for that matter, over something as trivial as “copyright dilution” makes my stomach turn. obviously not the first nor the last example of this kind of thing and not even the most egregious, (i mean, there’s only so much nutrition that goes into a freezer pbj) but it’s just inconceivable to me. (plus my personal stake in it which is that the trader joe’s sandwiches are objectively tastier and i like them better.)

anyway, all this to say, i hope trader joe’s rips smuckers dick off. but not for profit. need i also disclose that trader joe’s is in turn also greedy union-busters engaging in coercion and retaliatory firings.
