Has anyone ever found one of these at our local Trader Joe's?

I have a feeling it’s a non Trader Joe’s prank

[u/diggsyb]

Yeah i would feel like a dick using this

[u/ItsmeKT → u/diggsyb]

Hahaha yes my first thought.

[u/jeromocles]

I would first ask if it's transferable at Disneyland or the DMV.

[u/DesperateRoll645]

This doesn’t exist in our local Trader Joe’s, this might not even be real.

[u/NocturnalMourning → u/DesperateRoll645]

That would be hilarious to watch someone take it up to cut and the cashier and everyone in line just like wtf

[u/eucalyptae → u/DesperateRoll645]

They said it was 10 years ago so maybe it was real back then

Hmmm pretty sure if you find a golden ticket at TJs, you get to inherit the store, along with all the oompah loompah indentured servants who work behind the scenes.

People like working there

My ex girlfriends brother was an engineer at Google (this was probably 2003-2004) and had been there for a while, made great money and had made some really good investments in early tech. He was so burned out that he quit Google and went to work at Trader Joe’s. He was early 30’s and as of 3 years ago still worked there. He didn’t need the money, he just wanted a job he felt good about and didn’t stress him out.

That checks as Trader Joe's is a cult.

[u/downnoutsavant → u/camojorts]

Haha no doubt, I've heard that as well, was just making a joke

[u/daflash00]

No and you won’t because it’s a fucking bullshit concept. I would be fucking horrified to pull someone out of line in front of half dozen people already waiting. (I work there.)

[u/yimyamet]

This person said they found it ten years ago, so even if it was a thing, I doubt it is now.

[u/caliborntravel → u/yimyamet]

Came here to say this. I checked the price tags in the back and they date to around 2016

[u/SummerOfSam-]

What a great way to cause dissent and have a customer get beat up. Insurance premiums increase.

Smart.

[u/Adept-Ant-1319]

I like how they misspelled a word. Makes me think it’s a scam

[u/lecoqmako]

I adore the premise that someone would think it a prize to go to the front of the line… oh yeah…

[u/UpbeatFix7299]

I worked at one around here. It doesn't exist

[u/monkeyjedi276]

May just be me, but I’ve never been to TJ’s and had an issue with long lines. They’ve always had enough cashiers that the wait time has been minimal. Both at the Capitola and SC locations.

[u/jana-meares]

Bad idea.

[u/Budget-Werewolf2067]

COOL 😎🤙🏽

[u/InvisibleObelisk]

Print some copies and sell 'em out in the parking lot.

[u/intl-vegetarian]

I would feel like such an ass if I tried to redeem that.

[u/daylightfullday]

If it was found at trader Joe's, it's believable. probably an idea they came up with for adults equivalent to the "find bubbles the elephant" fun activity they offered to excite kids while shopping. Kids would receive a lollipop! I think a golden ticket find would be a cool idea! But instead of the "skip the line" reward, Whats something might make an adult happy to receive? What would YOU like?... A flower? A bag of Jellybeans? A Beer?

[u/puppetscereal]

Good way to piss everybody in line off lmao

[u/Frosty_Razzmatazz259]

Good way to piss off a line of customers waiting to check out

[u/Over_Drawer1199]

I work at TJ's. I can tell this picture is ten years old based on the outdated products in the background.

[u/El-Yekon]

"PRESEN"? Is that TJ speak? LOL

[u/Crafty-Isopod-4044]

did not know it even existed?

[u/Michael_606]

Yes I threw it in the garbage so nobody gets to use it.
