Trader Joes

Trader Joes aims to supply high quality products at low prices. Like many stores, they're kind of focussed on imperial measures though (even naming a 500g block of chocolate "Pound Plus").

Let's add metrication to the list of things they think of when they think of customer satisfaction.

Stance on metrication

Over the years, I've come to love my local Trader Joes. I like to try new things and Trader Joes fills that need nicely and at a low price (and allows me to get most of my normal groceries at low prices while filling the need for novelty).

However, if there was one thing I wish I could change about TJs, it'd be the lack of metric units in your stores. I strongly prefer using metric as it's less confusing and I don't have to do conversions when purchasing (for example, the product on the shelf has 1 pint 6 fl oz and my recipe has 3 cups, do I have enough?)

So, my request is, could you please provide prices per gram and liter on the shelves as well as primarily using metric when doing your own labels?

Thanks,
Paul

Response from Trader Joes:

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your request to list the metric measurements on our
packaging. At this time we do not have any plans for this type of
labeling. We will review your request for future consideration.

Thank you for your inquiry and thank you for shopping at Trader Joe's .
