The private company, which started in 1967 to appeal to counterculture shoppers overlooked by mainstream stores, rejects delivery because its brand identity is wrapped up in its distinct food brands and nautical-themed stores. One company motto: “The store is our brand.” E-commerce is a costly undertaking for companies, and Trader Joe’s business model is suited poorly for delivery, according to retail experts.
“It’s something that takes months or years to plan, build and implement and it requires tremendous resources.” Trader Joe’s also introduces and discontinues products more frequently than many competitors. This strategy contributes to the treasure hunt-like experience of browsing the store and spurs customers’ impulse purchases. But it’s hard to recreate this environment on a website.
The best grocery store in the world, IMO (although it isn’t much)
There's no place to park at Trader Joe's, let alone any space for curbside pickup ...
Keeping it the pre pendemic way, I see. Oh so, it's quality control, fair enough.
Love Trader Joe's anyway...
Meh
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. First come, first served. They are a small store & run out of items sometimes. Maybe they like their customers who come in to the store the old fashioned way.
We are in a real war with the government. The terror group has been activated and after Zahedan it is Sanandaj's turn, you must specify whether you are with the people or with the government of the Islamic Republic, an accomplice in killing people. MahsaAmini
Easier answer,Loneliness killing People all over the world!
If you want it, go get it. End of. It’s their right
Good. Delivery services need to be saved for people that are disabled and that’s it. Everyone bitches about how fat we Americans are but embrace shit that makes us have to do less
Instacart is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS. Their people are rude and they take over the store as if no one else ks shopping.
Also the only chain with the smallest parking lots.
It's because exposure to sunlight causes the products to instantly deteriorate due to them all being made of 'Joe-Puddy' an odd substance secreted by the one and only Trader-Joe.
A massacre of Iranian people in Sanandaj is going on right at this moment by the brutal regime of iran😭. Please help be their voice to help them. The regime is killing innocent people horribly please help by covering news
I’ve been first world complaining for years now
Good for them.
They are overy comfortable that they won't lose customers.
YOU SHOULD BE TWEETING ABOUT THE HISTORIC EVENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN IRAN Mahsa_Amini MahsaAmini NikaShakrami Nika_Shakarami
It's a giant waste of plastic bags when people use mobile ordering and pick up, with workers often bagging single items and even double and triple bagging items. Will humans ever learn?
Gas is about to higher due to green new deal , Biden is now begging dictators for oil. Biden has put the USA at huge risk of massive depression with intent. Biden uses all the military defense reserves of nuclear WW3 and major world depression
I haven’t shopped at a Trader Joe’s since before the pandemic. I’m high risk and have limited mobility. They can list all the excuses they want they simply don’t care about customers like myself. Period.
don't you ruin Trader Joes too
That's the story, patronize your followers for not knowing about online shopping and then tell us Joe's isn't doing it?
Don’t need to, TJ’s has the best vibe and friendliest staff, makes for the best shopping experience.
Another thing Trader Joe’s excels at is getting me hooked on certain items that they go on to discontinue.
Kinda like Kodak and Blockbuster...
I would love to have delivery as I'm disabled, low income and no vehicle. My local Walmart delivers... but can you believe I'm literally just a couple miles outside their service area? Been asking Walmart to help me out for 5 YEARS! And nothing ever gets done. Pathetic.
I'm tired of giving people my money--paying for food so that they can give me food poisoning or to gross me out with foreign objects in my food. I.e hair, plastic,...people just don't take pride in what they do anymore😑
trader joes kinda sucks
Sometimes you just got to get your lazy arse off the sofa. Right kids?
