Long lines at Trader Joe’s are nothing new. But when the pandemic began, they became much longer. Beginning in April, a group of Upper West Siders who live near the Trader Joe’s at 670 Columbus Avenue (between 92nd and 93rd Streets) noticed that the line was moving much more slowly than it had before.
Here’s a video they posted of the Trader Joe’s line extending down their residential street:

They also noticed that people seemed to be getting restless and overly talkative. They began to overhear a lot of personal conversations from their apartments. So they decided to chime in on these conversations … in the form of written replies on large signs and pieces of paper which they started hanging from their windows. And they began broadcasting these replies on Instagram, which would soon become a NY Times story.

No. Gross. Boo. The last thing we need is more mean.
Hilarious, reminds me why I hate that store!
There can NEVER be enough snark.
Mocking is mean-spirited, not funny.
JF, Liz, are they outside your windows?
Typical liberal UWS assholes. What else is new?
I know plenty of liberal people on the UWS who aren’t nearly as unpleasant as these folks.
Typical conservative pussy with nothing else to bitch about … Not surprised
There are other ways of tackling the problem than making fun of people, surely.
who says just because you have a fucking cellphone you are allowed to bellow into it publicly whenever you want and expect other people to respect your rudeness as your personal space. whether republican or Democrat you are fair game to made fun of with whatever level or derisiveness or levity the listener (victim) chooses because
you should be way more quiet with your foolish chatter.
ps now watch what dumb shit you say for the world to hear on the tj line.be respectfully of residents and other people on the line. tj’s should pay reparations to
those living in earshot of their store.
“I had to hear about other people who have lives and now I’m mad!”
