Good store overall. It’s usually well-stocked and the employees are friendly.<br><br>That said, there are clear “no pets” signs at the entrance, but they don’t seem to be enforced. I understand there are limits around service animals, but non-service pets in a grocery store raise real cleanliness and food safety concerns.<br><br>This seems like an easy fix if management chooses to enforce the policy.
Trader joes is always an experience many unique items long checkout lines bit theyy move quickly. Many unique items and short term finds if you like it stock up odds are it won't be available next time. Great mix of eclectic and routine items as well as staples such as bread milk and eggs. Watch produce and fruits many sold by the piece not pound.
Jenna is an ALL-STAR! Thank you for going above & beyond. I appreciate you being swift & caring.
I go here because how can you not like the products and prices at Trader Joe's? But this location on particular is smaller than most other T-Joe's, so it is tight quarters and people are always in a frenzy. The lines are proverbially long here, but I'll give credit to the cashiers here, they churn people quick. Also, the staff is generally friendly and helpful, a plus when you're annoyed at the tight spacing and crazy shoppers there. But that's part of Trader Joe's culture from what I have been able to gather.<br>You can't shop for everything here, but what you can get is mostly good and you have nice staff to go with it. If you're annoyed already, had a bad day, are in a rush, or hate overcrowded places, go elsewhere...
This Trader Joe's was a decent size, employees are super nice and informative with all items. Had a lil trouble finding where things were but was helped immediately. So idf I can give this one a 10 I would 😁. Spent $60 and change on like 20 items so it was worth it.
Trader Joe’s<br>📍 200 E 32nd Street, New York, NY 10016<br><br>Trader Joe’s at 200 E 32nd St is a great store with fresh fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, snacks, and groceries at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and helpful. It can get crowded at busy times, but overall it’s a convenient place for quality shopping.
It can be very busy at that location at a certain time after work but the lines move very fast. I had my stuff ringed up by a young lady name Juanita and she was incredibly sweet and patient. She kept telling me to take my time and I laughed because I felt pressured to quickly put my stuff away. I thought that was incredibly kind because you can’t find that in most stores now they are ready to take the next customer and get you out. Definitely love how friendly everyone is there!
I bought a bacon turkey club sandwich it came with no bacon she said come back and exchange only wow u inconvenience my time for my lunch break ....I'm going to call corporate on this I'm on cain my time is prescious...my first time experience in trader joes ...never shopping there again
I love Trader Joe’s. My son just moved to the neighborhood so I wanted to stock his fridge. No place else can you get beautiful fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, cheese and meat at reasonable prices. Plenty of unique items too. Nice assortment of spices and Condiments. Stock up on seasonal items, they go fast. Staff is always friendly, go out of their way to help and always with a smile.
The store is spacious and has a wide variety of products. Although not necessarily the cheapest, most brands are available. Fresh and delicious strawberries, reasonably priced.<br>There were many customers queuing to check out (about 20-30 people, occupying an aisle). I don't know if it was good luck, but there were many cash registers working in the store (more than 10 were visible). The waiting time was about 10 minutes. The checkout speed was very fast, and the overall shopping experience was satisfactory.
Great customer service! Found everything I wanted and a few surprises...the rice & lentil onion rings are oh so delicious! Finally I can eat a healthier option! A gluten free snack that contains milk. I couldn't stop at one; They're all gone & I miss Trader Joe's too 🤩
I often use to buy groceries from Trader Joe's on East 32nd Street, Manhattan. It offers quality grocery items at affordable prices. The staffs are always friendly and helpful, creating a pleasant shopping experience. Providing a penalty of selection of items in fair proce makes it a go-to destination for my grocery needs.
Bigger than it appears from the outside<br><br>Good variety.. well stocked. Try to avoid going there on Sunday afternoons. Like a zoo!<br><br>Produce section could use some work.. fruits and veges look deflated.. and far far from ripe..<br><br>Cashiers and team working on the floor were all very friendly
DON'T BOTHER GOING THERE. WORST MANAGED LOCATION. SHELVES ARE ALL EMPTY. WASTE OF YOUR TIME!!!<br><br>Friday afternoon at 4pm (BEFORE rush hour). This store has been getting barer and barer in the past 8 weeks. It should be closed until they can restock the basics and keep them in stocks.<br><br>FIRE YOUR REGIONALS AND MANAGEMENT!
