Trader Joe's

Bonnie O'Halloran

If it’s remotely busy, please don’t go if you’re not an experienced shopper at this location. Also prob best to go solo. Leave your group upstairs and outside. It’s small and laid out well, but the aisles are tight and the line usually wraps around the store, so people shop while in line. It usually moves fairly quickly, but noobs can ruin that by getting a cart, going against the flow of traffic/line and getting in everyone’s way.

The smallest trader Joe's in the known universe. Such a cool spot in an amazing location. The staff here are very helpful and super friendly. I love this Trader Joe's.

I have lived in Dorchester for over 26 years and haven't been to a Trader Joes since I moved to Boston. Stumbled upon this one. It's was very small and the line to pay were very very long. It was nice to visit but didn't get anything. Then as I got off the escalator and finished telling my daughter that it was small. There was a cool sign saying that that was the smallest store. Nice to go to at least once.

My daughter's purse was stolen out of our shopping cart while we were in the store. When this was discovered, we went to Claire, the store manager. She, intimated that my hysterical daughter should leave the store. I went back a day later to ask for their video surveillance. Claire said that she would contact the people in California to ask them to provide the footage. A week went by, and no word from Claire. I called her and asked what had happened with my request. She let me know that the people in California didn't see anything. When was she going to tell me this? She didn't call or email to tell me this. Was I supposed to magically be made aware? On the phone with her, I let her know that it would be best to allow the victim to see the footage to identify the person who we know stole her purse (thanks to the people at CVS around the corner where the thief used the credit cards). Claire said that they don't do things like that at Trader Joe's. She said that the person could have escaped camera view entirely by skirting around the registers. I asked if they had any cameras trained on any of the aisles. Claire said that they don't. That's when I pointed out that anyone could steal anything at any time, and as long as that person isn't seen then it would go unnoticed. She said "sir, we like to believe in the integrity of our customers." I said, "well that guy proved you wrong, didn't he?!" Another week has gone by and I have not heard from Claire about letting my daughter see the footage from the day that we were robbed. It's quite apparent that she does not care that my daughter's purse was stolen in her store and is not willing to do much to help us. They sell good food. This store has a manager that doesn't care.
