I feel so bad for this guy. Not for working at TJ's, but for all this unsolicited attention. Maybe something good will come out of it and he will be offered a good acting job, but I feel bad for the guy being publicly shamed for this, even while people have come out to support and defend him. And he had to quit the TJ job because of the unwanted attention!

I wonder whether Cosby Show reruns being pulled off of the air by most networks (except by BET) necessitated the TJ's job. He still works as an actor and teaches and TJ's was just to fill in the gaps. It's too bad our culture doesn't respect that.
I'd say he's doing way better than Keshia Knight-Pulliam who has chosen to live a messy reality-show life instead of using her degree to get real work.

This guy might also have been working at TJs for health insurance and/or SS benefits for when he retires. Or he might have a minor who is able to have health insurance because of that job.

According to the Twitterverse, TJ's has really good benefits even for part-timers. And really, trying to publicly shame someone for...having a job? My mind is boggled.

“Karma” Lawrence, huh? Interesting. This beeyotch (who sold the picture of him to the tabloids) is a secretary, so I don't know why she thinks it's so sad for somebody to work at Trader Joe's.

What is wrong with people? I can actually kinda understand being like "whoa, Elvin's ringing up my groceries" if I saw him, but the dismissive tone of the story was so gross. Glad so many people took exception to it and said something. ETA: I just watched the interview, wow, he looks so much like Jordan Peele!

Seriously, on days when I'm over office politics I long for a job in a grocery store. The people who work at my local always look relaxed and chill and I'm envious.
