Yes, well, the Trader _does_ have a beard, so Emily, your journalistic integrity goes right out the window!

Good points, all. But he still seems like exactly the kind of guy I have dated and will continue to date over and over and over again until I finally learn my lesson.

@M.Lane: Thanks!
@Alex: I love them for organic eggs, milk and cereal but have felt regretful after purchasing their pre-made stuff. And I've never really loved their chocolate. Guess there's no disputing taste!

Interesting that you used to work there; Any more insidery tidbits for us?

And yes, that's my friend Eric, he's not affiliated with TJ's, and he is indeed the perfect model for this post. That's all real hair.

Funny. I used to work for TJ's. I was the sample girl with the toaster oven and the tubs of cookie and coffee. I still enjoy shopping there from time to time, but I see your point too. I like to hand pick my produce, not buy it in a bag. But, hey they do have good snacks and chocolate.

PS that pic is priceless.

Thanks, guys! I figure if you're going to expose your neuroses to the harsh light of the Internet, it's best to go big or go home. Props to my buddy Eric for modeling.
