No. There is definitely a lunchtime and dinnertime "rush hour," but before ~11am it's almost church-mouse quiet. Even when traffic is heavy the store itself isn't terribly crowded. You might run into one or two people every other isle. It's pretty tame. The real chaos is caused by the insanely long checkout line. They have a decent automated system to direct people to two columns of open registers, but the area is positioned rather poorly. The line completely blocks off the area with Naked juice, bottled water, iced tea, etc. 2-3 feet from where the narriers that separate people into three columns end. Definitely get in early in the morning or after 9 pm for a quiet, low-traffic experience. At 6:00pm the line is long enough that you'll find yourself struggling to get into the upper level of the store, and having to excuse yourself as you part through a crowd that OCCASIONALLY blocks acces to the downstairs escalator where most of the merchandise is.
