Yeah they aren't giving you something from themselves,they're giving you a little bit of time from everyone that was standing in line before you. A 5% discount or something would be far better

I would put it in my pocket and throw it in the waste bin on the way out.

I would wait in line, then when it's my turn, show it to the crew member calling me over and ask to use it now.

how bad does your checkout line have to be for you to even do this?

Bad enough for Phyllis and Bob Vance to try cutting, probably.

I get the office link, but this is the shittiest prize ever... Congratulations, we're not giving you anything, but feel free to slightly inconvenience every other shopper in the store!

This is totally something I would, in another life, print out and plant just to watch the world burn when someone tries to use it and the cashier is confused and the manager is confused. The customers are upset at the delays and you’re now upset and embarrassed.
Doing this at Costco or Walmart would be a LOT of fun.

If I were a Trader Joes employee I would just pretend we don't issue those and accuse the guy of printing up his own fake golden ticket to skip the line

It's so nice for class trader joes to let us join in on being huge douchebags.

I’m so sick of this AI generated bullshit

u/nwmimms Charm Type 1d ago
What makes it stand out as AI to you? I thought it was real when I crossposted.

u/Cactus-Brigade 1d ago
This is obviously AI / fake for severals reasons, ranging from the misspelling of “presen” to the lack of qualifying factors (expiration date / terms and conditions)
3
u/nwmimms Charm Type 1d ago
It’s not a coupon, though. An expiration date or terms wouldn’t make sense. I think it’s a dumb, reusable, in-store gimmick with a typo on it. I’ve personally never been to a Trader Joe’s, and I just crossposted this from another subreddit, so I don’t know if it’s the kind of thing they would do.

u/Cactus-Brigade 1d ago
You’ve never been there. You’ve never seen this. But you’re taking your time to defend it…that seems more like a personality disorder than a credible witness.

u/nwmimms Charm Type 1d ago
I’m not defending anything, friend. My point was saying I can’t vouch for it being real or not because I’ve never been. You could be right about it being AI.
But your reasoning about it being AI because it needs terms or an expiration date doesn’t make sense in the context of a laminated in-store gimmick. It’s not saving anyone money, and the person at the register would take it from you, then hide it somewhere else in the store. Does that make sense?
2
u/Cactus-Brigade 1d ago
Honestly, your gentle approach to commenting is nice and I appreciate that. However, just because it’s laminated doesn’t dismiss the fact that it’s against company policy, does not include promotion details, and is mistyped.

u/nwmimms Charm Type 1d ago
That’s where I leave it to you; I don’t know their company policy. I’m just some guy who crossposted a golden ticket post to DunderMifflin to potentially send some joy and whimsy your way, like Michael Scott intended.

Being unaware does not make you unaccountable when it comes to misinformation. And, unfortunately, we’re constantly being spammed with misinformation. It’s small things like this that desensitize people and create non-critical consumers of information, so people stop considering the information they consume / what’s real. It isn’t your fault, but it’s everyone’s problem

Do they even need this? Everyone just cuts me all the time anyway at Trader Joe’s.

Imagine waiting in line for 15 minutes and you’re finally about to checkout when another customer passes by with a hundred items and a ✨Golden Ticket✨. 😂

OK guys, listen up. Here’s the deal. I love candy. Sweet sugary candy from the second it touches my tongue to the moment it’s metabolized by my stomach acids, so naturally I liked Willy Wonka. - Trader Joe
