This morning, my wife and I walked over to Trader Joe’s, after failing to find what we wanted from Smart & Final. Approaching, we observed a long line wrapped down the side of the store around to the back employee/loading entrance.
Is this about eggs? I wondered, thinking that perhaps people were being let in a few customers at a time to avoid crowding and violating fire codes. But, when we arrived at the doors, other folks flowed in and out unimpaired. The line stayed still in place. WTH?
During our food purchase, we asked the cashier what people waited for. Mini Totes. Say, what? The canvas bags are available in four pastel, color accents for Easter. The checker explained that the totes are sold selectively during the day to prevent hording that can, and apparently does, occur when the store opens. They cost $2.99, by the way, if you’d like to queue up.
I used Nikon Zf and attached NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR lens to capture the Featured Image and companion. Please zoom in for a look at the detail that the camera captures. Vitals: f/11, ISO 100, 1/250 sec, 24mm; 10:55 a.m. PDT. The other: f/6.3, ISO 160, 1/500 sec, 145mm; 10:56 a.m.
