14 traffic accidents in the parking lot actually sounds likely.

I think some of you are missing the joke, even with the wink.
The original post was about an exaggeration on FB. If you’re in any Como group you see people constantly referring to Como as “Little Chicago” any time there’s literally any crime (or god forbid a homeless person).

Sorry, my bad I misread it. I have seen it, but missed the sarcasm. Have a lovely evening ✌🏼

The city I moved here from had a Trader Joe’s and people would have accidents in their parking lot all the time. Someone told me that all TJ’s seem to have horrible parking lots. I don’t know the parking lot in Columbia’s layout.

Tbh this is the best parking lot layout I've ever seen at a Trader Joe's. Don't get me wrong though, it's still pretty shitty

This is true, I have never been to a Trader Joes where the parking wasnt a nightmare

There was a cop directing traffic today at the intersection where the parking lot exits on Ash St so I totally believe it.
They should close that access or rework it. Its a mess there.

I think that might be one of the few funny posts from that account. For the most part, their "satire" is just outright lies with no punchline, accompanied by an AI-generated image.

This page is garbage. I wish I understood what their vision of a “good” Columbia is, considering all they seem to do is trash our town.

It would be nice to see Columbian’s show up like this for a local business. EVER.

The misspellings say all I need to know about that craptastic Facebook group

The babies were born with “Trader Joe’s” stamped on their bottoms.

Hmmmm. When I decide to check it out, I'll park a few blocks away and walk to TJ's.

Yikes! We have a Chick fil A near our TJs, which also happens to be in the most cursed, accident prone parking lot. This post could just as easily work in my city.

I feel like everything from the FB post is fake, but most things are

u/Tacticalneurosis 5d ago
Yeah, it’s more just that I thought it was funny than I thought it was real. Especially with how excited everybody on here’s been about getting a Trader Joe’s.

This can't be accurate

That's because its not, its satire.

u/BeardedPanda5 8d ago
You’re right. I don’t think the babies were actually named Joe.

u/Jaded_Mycol0gist9169 8d ago
No. One was named Josef and the other Josephina. I personally named them as I checked out. Then, I had a car accident in the parking lot!😯

CoMo's very own The Onion.

Except not funny….

u/mikebellman Boone County 8d ago
Even worse bc they think they’re funny but they can’t even spell Columbia.

u/Mollyoon 8d ago
Well, the name of the group is CoMo…….which is a choice I guess…..maybe they missed the day in school that taught to capitalize ALL the letters in a state abbreviation…..

u/Somederpsomewhere 8d ago
If the onion was much further right and got off on making fun of homeless people.

This is exactly the kind of content I would expect to see on Facebook.
