Anywhere a Trader Joe's parking lot can be found, there's also an overfull parking lot capable of crushing souls.

Amy Estes writes a satirical piece for McSweeney's that anthropomorphizes a Trader Joe's parking lot to reveal the nefariousness of the typology:
My game begins at once: a team of crack architects and city planners conspire to bring me to your city. People rejoice, and so do I, for the game is now afoot.
I am the Trader Joe’s parking lot.
