I’m curious where in the DMV area are these most popular?

NYC and San Fran were two locations that had the huge lines

Just the totes. The only time TJs had a line to get into the store was during Covid.

I was just at the Clarendon one and they had tons. No one seemed to care. I didn’t realize they were a thing until this post!

IMO it's passé to carry one now. Like my 73 year old neighbor was telling me about how out TJs up the street had one and I should get over there...no thanks. I'm fine with my Yeti Camino from 2018 that is indestructible.

No thanks. The TJs by me had a TON.

My TJ’s had regular traffic/parking, no lines anywhere today.

Ridiculous. No, I don’t want one.

I'd think the opposite. Why waste money on it? 🤷🏻‍♀️

If it zipped and had a thermal lining, I could see buying one for lunch or beach bags. These are just regular small totes.

Probably started by those darn influencers.
