He had to quit his job- but the Trader Joe’s store employee and her wife who took the photos and shared (sold ?) them are unscathed. 
This was an awful thing to do to someone.

I bet nothing happened because it was her wife, and not her who took the picture... but still, they'll get theirs.

The irony of the Geoffrey Owens story is his character Elvin and wife Sandra on The Cosby Show leaving medicine to open up the The Wilderness Store and they were shamed for it being beneath them

My 61 year old sister works for Trader Joe's. She is a functioning alcohol that looks like she's 80. She is 5'6" and weighs about 95 pounds. I love Trader Joe's.She has a job that she loves, works with great people & maintains HER dignity. Plus,who doesn't love their yummy stuff?

To those of you concerned, my sister doesn't use Twitter and she lives 800 miles away. Until Trader Joe's gave her a chance, she had nothing to help her hold on to her dignity&self worth. She now works full time&has health benefits. They took a chance&they both won.
