“I am writing to share an inspirational story of kindness experienced at your Naperville Illinois store on December, 2023. I had had my last check up with my oncology surgeon at the local hospital that morning, and found out I was cancer free after five years of treatments and monitoring.
It would be an understatement to say I was just jubilant as there are no words to really describe the joy and relief I was experiencing. I was happily floating through the store to complete my holiday shopping and had the pleasure of meeting Tim as my cashier.
Tim was very friendly and he observed my big smile of joy when he greeted me. I felt free to share my news and he was very sweet with his congratulations. We got down to business and discussed a second cart would be of benefit for my plentiful purchases, and I offered to go outside to get it as the store was quite busy.
I wasn’t gone five minutes and as I returned to Tim, he had a colleague assisting to bag my groceries who also offered congratulations to me, along with Philomena, the manager standing by Tim with this gorgeous bouquet of holiday flowers.
Suddenly time stood still as if all of the cashiers and shoppers were looking directly at me as I told Philomena I didn’t purchase these flowers. She shared they were a gift from Tim and the store for my great health news. It was such a beautiful gesture and I was completely overwhelmed. Bells were being rang and hugs were shared.
The flowers were: green button mums, red roses, white stock, pine boughs and white lilies that most latest for several weeks. The With our chaotic world events, this positive story was so very treasured.
Thank you very kindly for your time in reading this, and for this amazing experience I will never forget, which I have told a zillion times over the holidays. I am sure it will generate more shoppers to your store.”
“Thank you TJ for the beautiful bouquet of flowers given to me after my radiation treatment at AAMC to whom you took your unsold flowers to for distribution to their patients. I was a lucky recipient, and it cheered me so much.”
“Love Trader Joe's. For a small store it offers a wide variety organic clean eating. An excellent example of their amazing mates is Darien Corbin. He has been such a big help to me finding things and giving me hints on different ways to use them in various recipes. All the staff is friendly. My hats off to mgmt for keeping their staff happy which makes for happy customers 😀”
