Am I the only person on BE who doesn't rate Trader Joe's?

For what?
You can't beat it for wine, cheese, some prepackaged foods.
i.e escargot, chimmichura, empanadas, middle eastern food

I have no idea because I don't buy or eat said items...except for cheese. We have a very nice wine store locally...they have a fab deli counter. They also sell quite a good range of British goods...including Cadbury's chocolate.

My nearest Trader Joe's is a small dingy looking store...puts me right off.

Sorry I'm not convinced. You have to come up with a better arguement than that

I like it but do think it's a bit overrated.

Okay. I don't think Katherine Zeta Jones' fanny is all that great. Never seen it, don't go there regularly, but I just don't rate it.
I've got a local one that I use so I just don't rate her box
