QFC Quality Food Center

i don’t usually shop at QFC but stopped in on my way to work to the enumclaw wa location. i went to use the self check out but the machine would not read my card. i had already entered in my items and wasn’t sure how to cancel my purchase (since i was just going to head over to one of the check out lines.) so i pushed the ask attendant for help button. the woman at the check out line promptly shouted to push the «pay with check» button. i informed her i wasn’t paying with a check and she once again told me to press the check button, so i did as instructed. when she was finally able to come over she gruffly asked me where my check was. when i again said that i wasn’t using a check (as i had already told her) she blatantly rolled her eyes and said «well press the back button…» (clearly annoyed by what she viewed as my complete idiocy). I informed her my card wasn’t reading but before i could tell her i didnt mind just stepping over to the regular checkout line, she once again rolled her eyes and told me «just use the chip reader» (again speaking to me as though i had the IQ of a small field mouse). i held my tongue and again did as instructed, not familiar with using the new chip readers i followed the screen instructions. Thinking my purchase was complete i pulled my card from the reader and the woman practically yelled at me not to take my card until told to do so… she was incredibly rude and short with me. after a few more rolled eyes and rude comments in a harsh tone, my purchase was finally done and all i wanted was get out of there. i was left shocked by one of the worst customer service interactions i have ever experienced. i have never written a Unilocal review and am a very quiet reserved person but this experience was baffling. This woman very well may be a wonderful person and may have just been having a bad day but if you are not going to talk to people with respect perhaps do not interact with the clientele.

Stopped today with the baby to grab a few things and everything was going fine until the baby decided it was time to go and began to scream bloddy murder. The older ladys in the store loved it– which i’m not sure why but older ladies just love to hear a baby cry?
we quickly checked out and the bagger guy was nice enough to help me out with the groceries. of course the kid stopped crying as we left the building — why do they do that?
it was a nice trip and i’m thankful for their nice employees.

Awesome grocery store! Best selection of produce, meats, seafood and deli. Far superior to the Safeway we have in town. Most of the staff has been there for years and they all get to know you, its great! Some might say its a little more expensive here, but in my opinion super fresh food and the quality of service is SOOO worth it! I save a ton of $ by using the QFC club card!

This place is so slow. I tried to go the deli for a sandwhich and I waited at least for 15 just make a simple sandwhich. Then the guy in front of me got the wrong sandwhich…

Since eating grain free, sugar free, QFC has a huge selection of healthy, organic selection of offerings in meats, vegetables and fruits to make shopping and eating easy.

Prices are decent from what QFC used to offer. Their 10/​$ 10 offers are fantastic when they have things you want, and they do often mark down a lot of produce that makes it more affordable regularly (and it’s generally nowhere being close to icky).
I’ve been shopping at this particular location off and on for the past 20 years, and I still see a lot of the same people working there; some remember me by name, which gives it a nice small-​town vibe at a major retailer.
they have a decent bulk section and a GREAT gluten-​free and organic selection with decent prices. Often times their produce is of much better quality and better cost than the local competing Safeway (AND grocery outlet if you can beleive that!).
Their bakery markdown selection is a awesome; this is something that the Safeway down the street doesn’t offer, which makes me wonder what is going to waste.
The only couple negatives that I have to add: often times if you’re near the restrooms, it smells awful!
and if you’re a shopper who frequently uses the self-​checkout like I do, and you get the dreaded «attendant has been notified to assist you» message (for no reason usually!) you will see them not paying any attention while you have to wait forever for them to show up, and they’re off chatting with their coworkers. that is pretty frustrating. and… I don’t like comments about the items I’m buying, I just want to get in and out. I suppose that is human nature though :)

For some reason, I’m just not a big QFC fan. This store always seems so dark… and has the high QFC prices. I prefer to go to the Safeway in the claw. I find the deli to be really small and very overpriced.

Clean, great wine selection, great meat selection, if they don’t have it out, they will cut it for you if it’s on hand in the walk-​in. Produce always fresh, and clean. You may pay more, but it’s worth it in the end. Seafood department is hit and miss on selection, but the staples are always available.

If your checking this out, QFC is generally a little more expensive than your average store but… it’s a decent place. Like I always say, check the coupons, you can get decent deals.
The store is clean the service is good. I happen to like this store. They have a decent deli and soup section as well. I prefer their soups to Albertsons or Safeway.

More expensive then the Safeway down the street, but the quality of product more then justifies the price hike.
Fresh seafood, many times including «first of the season» catches of fish, and the shellfish selection is always great.
Deli has Boar’s Head brand meats and cheeses. If you haven’t tried this stuff, spend the extra money and enjoy. Meat is always fresh, never packed with water, so you aren’t paying for water weight.
Wine cellar has many impressive selections including a ’96 Krug last time I was in.
Overall, a really good shopping experience.
