In 2018, a customer secretly photographed Geoffrey Owens best known for playing Elvin on the Cosby Show working at a Trader Joe's in Clifton, New Jersey, and the images were published online in an attempt to "job-shame" him. Instead, he was able to get more work as an actor because of it.

He went on to explain that most actors and indeed most entertainers are gig workers. For every a-lister many other actors work gig to gig and having steady work and a steady income that pays well is really hard because the field is so unpredictable. And many actors including many well know actors and artists have to have a secondary source of regular income between gigs and for most working entertainers it means getting a regular job and taking whatever roles you can get.

Trader Joe’s and Costco are the two GOATs from what I’ve read/seen.

I’m sorry to say that while individual stores may be lovely places to work (I’ve known many an employee whose experience was great!), Trader Joe’s themselves are staunchly anti-union and clearly anti-workers rights, aligning themselves with Amazon and SpaceX to try and dismantle the National Labor Relations Board under the argument that the board is unconstitutional.
