Trader Joe's — Local services in Hingham

Trader Joe's is just awesome for what they are! What they are not is an everything supermarket (like whole foods) they carry specific items. They do have a wide variety and most things a person would need. On the other hand, per item, there are not many choices. If you are looking to make an international dish, you might not find everything you need here. TJs has great branded items that you will not get anywhere else. Some are quirky and some make perfect sense. Their frozen prepared foods are awesome. Prices are great and allegedly they are just as careful about additives, GMO, etc. As Whole Foods.

Well, how about offering same courtesy to your...

Great place!!! Nuff said. That was before. This evening I went here and was very dissatisfied with the lady at the cashier. She was not friendly at all! Didn't say hello. And was very stern about the blue line. She said hello to the lady before me but no hello for me and my wife. And was singing with the older lady bagger. I said hello and then she said hello. I said,( that wasn't so hard.) Then not only did she put my bananas under the heavy food, she also told the bag lady ( oh this gentleman named bill, make sure we say hello to him ) I know why she said that and It wasn't very nice. A hello goes along way. Singing while taking care of customers isn't a really good look for you guys. Dissapointed yes, but I'll keep coming in. I'll just make sure not to...
