One thing I'm noticing here on Mastodon (mostly through observing experience of others, to be fair) is that there seems to be a point at which catering to people with, let's call it, overly-particular needs seems to embolden those people to foist those needs onto others and it devolves into a mess of opinions real fast.

One of the reasons Trader Joe's is successful is that they limit choices.

Do you really need to have two dozen varieties of peanut butter? Probably not. So they just stock a few. Gets people in-and-out very quickly, makes the stores smaller, and it's a very enjoyable experience for many despite being objectively quite limited.

Choice-overload is a real thing, and I think those steering this ship need to sit with that for a while.

@TechConnectify I know this is about choices, but all I can think of is "Man I want a Trader Joes near me, I once had one of these little pizzas with feta cheese and olives on it from there, and I am sad about them now"

@RebekahWSD I fucking love TJ's and proximity to one was a significant factor in my house hunting

@TechConnectify There are some within the state, but none nearby, and the closest suffers from their parking lot problems.

One day. Maybe one day they'll move into the abandoned deli we use to have on our street, and I can once again walk to groceries instead of having to drive!
