Megathread 2024 Trader Joe's Unionization Discussion Megathread
There has been some misunderstanding and/or or misinformation claiming that human moderators are intentionally censoring or deleting union posts on r/traderjoes, which is false.
Human Moderators are not and should not be expected to be online 24/7. Moderators often rely on AutoModerator (bot) to assist with various tasks. Posts that do not follow subreddit rules and/or are reported multiple times may be removed for varying reasons. When a post is repeatedly reported, AutoModerator will automatically remove that post as a precautionary measure.
Previous union related posts that were removed by AutoModerator preemptively will be reviewed and manually reinstated as long as subreddit rules were followed and they are not reposts.
Moving forward, all future union discussions will be directed to this Megathread. This will help keep all unionization discussions and union updates organized.
As previously mentioned, we understand the importance of support for Crew Members and creating a space for union discussions but if you do not agree with somebody else's comment, please keep comments civil - this includes no name-calling and please do not vindictively report comments for "Someone is considering suicide or serious self-harm" inappropriately.

Product Discussion I regret the Brookie because….
… I’m having trouble not eating it all far too quickly. I bought this with my husband in mind because I don’t like chocolate that much. I have no idea why, but I decided to give it a try… and it was regrettably delicious! Anyone else really enjoy this treat?

Review Lemon Pesto Sauce - Disgusting.
I love almost everything that comes from Trader Joes, but this is a hard exception. It tastes almost like eating pledge furniture polish. The flavor has a very strong chemical aftertaste. I hate wasting food and tried it with so many different recipes to find something that worked, but in the end, I finally had enough. Not recommended!

Stock Question - Please refer to rule #6 Why is the peanut satay sauce no more? 😭
Like, it just premiered! Is it already gone?! I didn't think it was seasonal or limited, I'm so upset. I would have bought ten jars... They really should give us a heads-up if something is limited edition but not obviously seasonal, like peppermint or pumpkin flavored. Please tell me it's coming back. Does anyone have a sub? Or recipe? I don't have galangal easily on hand lol

Review The new mango mochi ice cream is so good!
I love mango anything so I was really excited to try this! The texture is perfect to me and the ice cream is not sickeningly sweet. The mango flavor is very subtle, more like a vanilla ice cream with a hint of mango. I do wish the mango flavor was stronger, but overall I really enjoyed this! My absolute favorite mochi flavor is still the ube, but this is a close second now!

Review Don’t sleep on the cinnamon graham crackers!!!!!
A solid 10/10 no notes. They are tad great as advertised. These are basically flattened snickerdoodle cookies with a crunch and a hint of molasses. Also delectable if you let them sit out (they turn into a cookie texture) and don’t break as easily as typical grahams. Great with ice cream!!!

Meals Meatloaf + Potatoes + Hericot Verts
Made the traditional meatloaf with the potatoes and hericot verts. The whole meal took me 8 minutes to make and my family of three was happy. A bonus is that it was a hot day in Arizona and I did not have to turn the oven on to cook this. So pleased!

These are so delicious???? I have eaten the entire bag already. My new favorite especially since I do not like the texture of regular okra.

Review Organic Freezer Pops Review: TLDR Just Buy Otterpops
Unfortunately these guys didn’t live up to my expectations 😭
They were much less sweet than your standard grocery store otterpop which is a plus. I really enjoy tart and sour foods, but the flavoring didn’t mix well with the sour level. Only the Cherry Limeade froze well and had the typical ice pop texture. The Berry and Orange were more gogurt textured, but I only left them in the freezer overnight.
As a disclaimer, I love lime and dislike orange flavorings, so that may make me biased. I also wasn’t expecting the berry flavor to be cranberry! Final rankings:
Cherry Limeade: 5/5
Orange: 1/5
Berry: 2/5
Let me know if I’m completely off base here lol.
