Freaky

After Stephen Dubner -- of Freakonomics fame -- wrote that the world includes "Those who love Trader Joe's more than they love their own families and are incensed that there isn't one nearby," the We Want Trader Joe's in the Capital District people descended upon the Freakonomics blog to comment.

gross. There are people that drive 100 miles each way to go to Trader Joes? These fools obviously have way to much gas to burn and also dont realize that there are 2 Wegmans within 140 miles. If you're already driving 2 hours each way, you might as well take the extra 30 minutes and travel to the better market.

These Trader Joe's people need to get a life. Go read a book, volunteer to help someone, take a walk...anything. Enough with this Trader Joe's sh*t. It's tedious.
