Trader Joe's

NYC = 0; MO = 1

Why?

Because in NYC, the Trader Joe’s in Union Square typically has a line that winds so far through the store that employees need to stand throughought the store holding signs that say things like “Line Starts Here” or signs with arrows pointing in the direction that the line will turn next.

In St. Louis, the line at Trader Joe’s was exactly two people long.

In NYC, you shop at TJ’s for 20 minutes and wait in line for 30. In MO you shop for 20 minutes and wait in line for 3. NYC = 0; MO = 1.

    It’s only 15min from the back of the line and you shop as you go, so really it looks to be about the same about of time. :-D

    Ok, the NYC store is a madhouse.
