When Jeremy worked at the sterile, fluorescently lit grocery store chain Albertsons, he and the other employees rarely connected. The store was too big, and there was too much to do. Imprisoned for hours at the register in the stale, lightly chilled air—surrounded by People magazines, Tic Tacs, Tina’s Burritos and Slim Jims—he spent most of his time waiting to leave.
Things changed after he started working at Trader Joe’s. The place just seemed alive—everyone was friendly, the store was small enough for friendships to form, and the endearingly tacky Hawaiian shirts and punny foodstuffs made it seem fun. More importantly: Everyone, it seemed, was banging each other.
