The line is stupid, as is the fact that they can't keep themselves well-stocked with all the insane shoppers running around like it's Macy's at Christmas. I mean, the stuff here is good, and I totally…

Like H&M, TJ's will soon be in every strip mall and block in America, thus making TJ's no longer *exclusive* but accessable to the average Joe. Yay to TJ's food. It's really the way to go. Plus, TJ's…
