"That's as false as false can be, because we believe in people and we're not trying to get rid of our crew members for efficiency sake," Basalone said. "I don't know what the reasons are people put self-checkout in."

During the podcast, Palbaum and Basalone denied other rumored features coming to Trader Joe's stores, including drive-through sample cups of coffee and in-store restaurants with in-aisle waiting areas.
