One of the nice things about TJ's is that the employees are (IME) always in a good mood, so much so that going there always lifts my day.

Don't be jealous. You don't have Trump north of the border either.
Have you heard of Pirate Joe's that launched a store in Vancouver ? They had to close it down due to a legal battle between them and TJ's in the US.

I am curious as well as I've yet to find a vegan gravy I can stomach. I've shied away from mushroom-based ones because I don't care for mushrooms. Do such gravies have a distinct mushroom flavor?Let us know what you think of it when you taste it. It states coconut milk and tamarind so it may be slightly sweeter than traditional gravy.
LOL, I have noticed this as well. They are all very personable and cheerful. I've never encountered a grump clerk there. I'm due for a trip there soon.

I do remember hearing something about them, a while ago, weren't they actually bringing Trader Joe's products across the border and reselling them?

Ha! that reminds me of a story about a college student who had an "out of the trunk of his car" business and was importing Crispy Cremes. Not across the border, just to a city that didn't have a Crispy Creme.

Krispy Kreme Strikes A Deal With College Student Doughnut Mule [Updated]
Update, November 5, 2019: Krispy Kreme has seen the light and realized that maybe somebody reselling its doughnuts in a state where there are no Krispy Kreme outlets is not such a bad thing—especially if that someone is an entrepreneurial-minded college student who is just trying to avoid a...

I don't think that I've ever taste Dunkin' Donuts before !
