My kid makes fun of my hatred of unnecessarily waiting in lines... we turned around, got back in the car and left. Standing in line for their orange chicken falls in the unnecessary category but that opinion might change in another month or two.

TJ's has built a loyal fanbase with affordable quality for the most part. Living in SoCal it was my favorite place to shop, for everything but meat which was very expensive. I wish we had more here. There are two in Austin but I'm not driving that length for groceries.
I hope they weather this storm well, they run a good shop.
The local TJ's is open for business. It even has senior-only hours 9 AM to 10 AM.
I find it a dangerous place to shop. I might spend $10 on real food and $30 on fun food there.
I don't know if they still have their house-brand bison jerky seasoned with hot mustard, but that stuff was great. And Kettle Chips makes and bags some of their house-brand chips too.
Don't get me started on their cheeses.
On hiatus.
