When you walk into your local Trader Joe's, you know that the plethora of delightful treats you want to shove into your gaping face hole are plentiful, irresistible, and mouthwatering. And the food is really good too! "Sail the seas of value," they exclaim, tempting you with a wide array of frozen goodies from around the world, cheeses and wines you can't believe are so inexpensive, and snacks tailor-made for late-night ~~stoner~~ binges. And can we talk about the men?! A small corner of Instagram has a page called traderdaddies that has a small number of pics taken inside different Trader Joe's locations around the country. Some customers, some Crew, some posed, some clandestine, it seems.

So let's go shopping!

They start us off with a bang with this muscled stud flashing his guns! Not exactly keeping with the religious aspects of the Christmas season, but who cares?! This is the reason for the season, the gift of the magnificent! A devout Trader Joe's shopper knows they need to get into their store early in the season before the holiday specialty items run out. And we can't think of a tastier specialty item than this guy right here!

What do we have here? I salt-n-pepper nerd hottie Crew member serving up some kind of snack. Looks like their Garlic Spread, their version of toum, with some kind of cracker. Can we just say "YUM!" Now that's a spread I would mind resting on my tongue.

Two words: "Ditch the..." And I think you all know the rest of how that goes!

This handsome bro might be giving the picture taker a bit of side eye, but given those furry legs, scruffy face, and steely gaze, I'm willing to take the time to worm my way into his pants, if not his heart.

Not really sure what's going on here. Is he a performance artist dancer? Is he straddling garbage in the parking lot? Is he stretching his knees and hips after a rigorous shopping experience? I heard the weekends at a Trader Joe's can be especially hectic. Maybe he's warming up before he braves the crowds? Whatever is happening, we love the black-and-white art feel of this photo verité man.

Now here's a case where a Crew member snapped a pic of their coworker in the back room as they tore into a pallet. This guy has the legs and ass to reach the summit of this structure, and we do not mind looking up in admiration one bit!

This young daddy-in-training is hunting a ripe peach. Have you got what he's looking for?

No words. Just...whew! Nope, no words needed!

Does this make you a trader daddy? Why yes, sir. Yes, it does!

(Noticing this Bear's hat.) "Hi, I'm Acme. Please, do what you must!"

This elf on a shelf has quite the package for you! Don't unwrap it in the store, though.

Let's close this Trader Joe's adventure with a double dose of daddies! These two Mates (their word for managers; you can tell by the Hawaiian shirts they're wearing instead of regular t-shirts) look like they're off to do the devil's business. To which I say, "I WANNA PLAY TOO!"
