They didn’t fill all the positions at once. What’s so suspicious about that?

That doesn’t make sense. Why wouldn’t they just go back through the applicants they had on file, especially if they supposedly had this massive number of job seekers? Does Trader Joe’s like to deal with a horde of applicants when it’s not necessary? I know you can’t answer that, but what do you think? Like I said, it doesn’t pass the smell test.
That and the fact that Trader Joe’s is actually expanding in the area makes your 3rd hand anecdote seem like a pretty weak “tipping point”. Not that there isn’t plenty of bad economic news. It’s pretty much all that gets reported during a recession.
