We don’t have Trader Joe’s in my neck of the woods so I’m so curious, is this actually a thing that their cashiers are trained to do? Give commentary on clients’ purchases? I’d hate that so much. I don’t want to know what the cashier’s thinking as a buy a 6-pack of beer, chips, and veggie chik’n nuggets at 9:47pm on a Tuesday.

(As for perceiving giant piles of clutter as furniture after some time, I’m glad to let you know you’re not alone. I have a pile of scarves and gloves that has become an art piece in my bedroom.)
