>Trader Joe's stores are always full, even at times when "regular" supermarkets are mostly empty.

I have been to many food stores over the past year, not once encountered stores being empty. The stuff I want is always there.

I interpreted the comment to be about the number of customers in a store as opposed to stock levels. Anecdotally, Traders Joes does seem to have a higher base level of customers at any given time. However, I readily acknowledge that perception may be to their relatively smaller footprints and reduced operating hours.

Right, I should have clarified it's "# customers."

They're not open at 2:00 am, that's for sure.
