    The most clear example of their theft is when they went to this woman who sells a product that doesn't exist before, met with her, were about to work with her, then simply copycatted her recipe.

    The thing about Trader Joes is that is relies very much on its quirky, indie image, and so violating that with predatory practices undermines their whole brand.

    You probably haven't been to a Trader Joes because it's an America-only supermarket chain.

    I don't mind so much when Aldi copycats large bands. Going after Coca Cola or Nutella doesn't bother me. Going after a tiny indie producer is a different thing.
