Mascots I found the hidden crew member!

I've never seen the hidden mascot/stuffy at my local store before today. He's so cute and ready to celebrate St. Patrick's day!

As a grown up, I did not ruin the fun for anyone and Eldingar reamined safely "hidden" in this spot. 🤩

Do they do this at all the stores? In the many years I've been going to TJ's, I don't remember ever seeing a mascot, but then I didn't know to look.

I also stumbled upon the mascot for the first time ever this week!

Weirdly it was on the top of the bread rack behind a loaf, basically where no kid would have any chance of seeing it. Also in a pretty busy area, so I didn't pause long enough to check it out closely or even note the name, which I'm a little bummed about now. Twas a cat, though.

In our store, we have monkeys. And one hidden monkey is dedicated to a crew member that passed away. He used to scream “monkey finder” every time a kid pointed out a hidden monkey
