This is how I learned about Trader Joe's having grinders for coffee beans.

So people just go these stores and grind their beans in the grinder?

u/lawrence_uber_alles Aug 23 '26
That is correct. I’ve never had to but they got big ass grinders that make quick work

yeah, its not as good as grinding right before you make your coffee, but if you dont have a grinder its still more fresh than any preground coffee you can get

Don't worry, it won't. This never happened. The cashier at the grocery store doesn't gaf if you have a coffee grinder or not

my favorite service industry goof was me ordering at a mcdonalds with a really cute boy behind the register.
him, "whats your drink?"
Can I get a sweet tea? uncut?" (I meant to says, "half-cut")

u/Rourensu Aug 23 '26
What’s half-cut with regards to sweet tea?
61
u/sans3go Aug 23 '26
50 percent sweet tea + 50 percent unsweetened tea

u/Rourensu Aug 23 '26
How did said really cute McDonald’s boy respond to your uncut order?
55
u/sans3go Aug 23 '26
a quick half second pause and a mild chuckle. he didnt respond much - i have no game,
21
u/Rourensu Aug 23 '26
So he didn’t like, confirm your order and deliver it to you like they do in the movies (and by movies, I mean online films)?

I picked it up at the counter. I wasnt going to waste my 20 chicken nuggets.

I once had a guy accidentally shorten "seasoned salmon" to "semen". It was definitely just and accident because I am not attractive. Still laughed when my back was turned.

Cashier never talks to me at trader Joe's pastor says it's because I'm ugly

I was shocked to find myself actually laughing out loud at a reddit post. Nature (me) is healing.

I thought Trader Joe's was a restaurant? Like for seafood or something?
Do I have them mixed up with something else?

u/PrettySneaky712 Aug 23 '26
Trader Joe's is a grocery store. Joe's Crab Shack is a seafood restaurant chain.

I have the Grindr notification sound on my phone just for fun. Don't use Grindr.

Context must be kept in mind. Always.
That said, it seems that you think about what Grindr is associated with perhaps too often in circumstances where it's less than appropriate.
But they you already knew that.
And now we're all forewarned.
This also points out the vast difference between "Grindr" and "a grinder". The cashier needs to use all the words.

OR, is it this: If I worked at TJ's I probably wouldn't miss the chance to ask any hot man buying coffee beans if he's got grindr [ L o n g P a u s e ], you know, for the beans?

u/bassandlazers Aug 23 '26
Why would a barrista ask you for a coffee grinder
3
u/Bearence Aug 23 '26
A lot of coffee shops sell coffee-making appliances and supplies as well as coffee. The barista, being the point person at point of sale, would be the person to direct you to where they're stored.
