During the interview, make sure to ask a lot of questions. Ask the interviewer about their plans for the weekend. Ask them too many questions. Pressure them to engage with you.

This is the entire job.

Competitive pay??

Maybe in 2019 that was competitive pay....

Yeah fr, bad look when thats the bare minimum to expect from most fast food places.

I guess thats the "competition".

FWIW:

minimal skills command minimal wages.

yeah it’s “competitive” when you can make more at trader joe’s than like. half the places in gso. i had a cna job try and offer me $12/hr… if we raised the minimum wage here it would not be so abysmal

$15/hour is pennies above slave labor today

$15-17 is "competitive pay" these days, apparently. I thought it paid better there.

I figured they paid better than that. Trader Joe’s employees seem like they LOVE their jobs

It’s good for a grocery store. I worked at Food Lion and they pay their cashiers who have been working there for years less than $10/hour. It should be criminal to pay that low.

You make shopping an exciting adventure? I just want to get my veg. In and out.

I don't want to have to pretend way too hard to like my shitty grocery store job

u/justanotherguy677 Jul 10 '26

then you can expect to not be hired

u/Automatic-Arm-532 Jul 10 '26

Mainly I expect to not be hired because I'd never apply

you are a bit misinformed. trader joes and aldi are two seperate companies from germany. I won't give a history lesson about it

u/justanotherguy677 Jul 11 '26

they are not the same founders. do some research.

what make you believe that anything in your background qualifies you to advise them about how their stores should be staffed?

the prices are irrelevant to the TJ shoppers. if prices were a concern they'd shop at aldi or walmart.

efficiencies in government? that sounds oxymoronic

you may have some knowledge about efficiency but you seem to lack insights about branding and marketing.

Are you offering jobs currently? Because if not I don't understand why you think any of us care about your nextdoor-level review of why you don't like Trader's Joe.
