If you shop there you know how it seems they're actually trained to compliment on at least one item you buy, like "those are really good." This Onion piece is a take-off on when a customer gets no comments on their purchases.
Woman Spirals Into Vortex Of Self-Doubt After Trader Joe’s Cashier Does Not Compliment Any Of Her Selected Items
WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA—Questioning every decision that led her to the
crucial moment, shopper Lisa Kolman spiraled into a churning vortex of
crippling self-doubt Tuesday after the cashier at her local Trader Joe’s
failed to compliment or even comment on any of the items she had
purchased. “The woman at the register next to me is practically drowning
in accolades from store employees, but my cashier hasn’t said a thing,
not even about the olive tapenade hummus or the chocolate babka, and I
just don’t understand what I did wrong,” said the self-conscious Kolman,
who described bottoming out with deep shame when the cashier scanned
her entire cart of frozen appetizers, wines, and assorted baked goods
without uttering a single word of praise. “She seemed civil enough, but
when she rang up my garlic naan and container of fresh mozzarella
cheese, she neither asked what I was cooking nor encouraged me to make a
fun pizza with it. I should have known I’d messed up when she scanned
the two jars of cookie butter spread without saying anything nice to me.
Not even get a simple ‘Yum, I love these!’ or ‘Ooh, have you tried
these before?’ Even the guy bagging my groceries seemed to disapprove.”
Kolman immediately decided to return all the items in her cart and start
shopping all over again.
