QFC

Terrible service.
Asked a (dark haired male) associate for help, with some of their confusing organization, since he was just standing there — he looked right at me then ignored me.
Walked out and bussed to Safeway.
I’m not paying their high prices for that kind of service.

Just went to the Starbucks upstairs (I had no idea it was there) and had the BEST experience with the barista Colleen. I had to catch an early flight this morning and didn’t realize the Starbucks hadn’t opened yet. Nevertheless, Colleen couldn’t have been more welcoming and kind.

I will NEVER comeback again. I got a parking ticket issued to me because I didn’t walk into the store directly. When I contact the store manager, I was told even if you were going to get money from the key bank before shopping you could get ticket for that. Be CAREFUL, you’re NOT a QFC customer even if you shopped at the store. And also, the store manager did not seem friendly or helpful to me.

Went in here and was helped by a guy with a Gir tattoo!!! He was a HUGE help and knew where everything was located.
Also went upstairs for some Starbucks. The ladies back there were SO sweet! Made my drink to perfection!
GIVE THEM ALL A RAISE! :)

Awhile back I posted a review about QFC Kroger employees working Thanksgiving Christmas etc. I got an email awhile back from Myrtle at Unilocal.she said took down a post I made about QFC and employees working holidays. I have not now nor have I ever worked for QFC OR FRED MEYER, (KROGER) EVER NEVER EVER. she said the post was removed because I worked there. NOT EVER IN MY LIFETIME. I love this store and the one in Ballard. Both have fantastic staff, good products etc. Cashiers are wonderful. love the store manager, and deli manager, Alta, THIS STORE ROCKS.

We love this QFC! We consider checkers Ian and Linda some our favorite «neighbors» in Wallingford. They are always super friendly, know our kids, and ask about them whenever we are in. They are always great about helping us find things and giving the scoop on new products that we might like.

Great place to shop — parking is not exactly fun, but other than that — it is a convenient neighborhood store — the employees are also very helpful and friendly — I go there a few times a week — am never dis-​satisfied.

This QFC location is mediocre at best. Perhaps it’s still being renovated and I understand that it’s smaller than most QFC’s but they literally didn’t have half of the items I wanted to buy on my grocery list. No Shirataki noodles (other locations have them), filet mignon, flavored pretzel chips (only had plain) or Ichiban brand instant ramen. The selection was horrible! The meat quality did not seem fresh; choice cuts that were a day old looked better than the cuts packaged on the most recent dates. Also, QFC is ridiculously expensive! The same orange juice carton typically two for $ 5 at Safeway was $ 4.49 «on sale» at QFC for just ONE carton! Aidell’s sausage which is normally $ 4.99 at Safeway/​Trader Joe’s is $ 6.99 here?! I just happened to be in the area so I stopped for some groceries but I don’t really plan on coming back…
On a different note, I did buy a bouquet of flowers for $ 0.99 (normally $ 4.99; didn’t know flowers go on sale!) and they were in great condition. Saw a gentlemen leave with several bouquets of the same flowers :)

Went in today and ordered a salad that they prepare for you at the deli, great portion for what you are paying. Was told it would take 5 minutes to prepare, I don’t mind the wait. I then proceed to watch the employee Karla, making my salad run all over the store to find the appropriate ingredients because her line wasn’t properly stocked. It definitely took more then five minutes but I could tell this employee was hustling and she was very apologetic. I then asked for a quarter pound of potato wedges and she gave me a 0.9 lbs and said it was free. That’s what I call service! Definitely appreciate this employee going above and beyond for me.

This is the only grocery store i can walk to but i just found worms in my lettuce eww seriously

Easy location, always a place to park. This QFC is clean, can find someone to talk to quickly and ask any needed questions. Good beer and wine selection. They are also always doing good deals if you are a QFC member and often send me coupons every few months based off of my previous purchases.

Great clearance section!
Tip: if given a choice of cashiers, go with Ian!
His enthusiasm is dwarfed only by his level of trivia knowledge!

Fantastic selection of beer. Very clean. Found just what we were looking for. Stop and take a sniff at the laundry section!

I live across the street so the Wallingford QFC is my go-​to for groceries. You can find basic household cleaning supplies, office supplies, and various odds and ends (home repair items), but I don’t shop for those things here. Their produce section is nicely stocked throughout the day, fairly priced, and always looks fresh. Upstairs is where they house their natural food selection, which can be a bit odd. For example, they put almond milk in the fridge upstairs rather than alongside other milk or dairy options downstairs. Upstairs is also where you’ll find bulk spices, nuts, etc. I’ve had questions for the butcher twice and he was very friendly and helpful each time. It’s open 24 hours and I’ve never been here when it’s not bustling with people. The staff is friendly and the place is clean. For me, it’s an easy in-​and-​out place for my regular groceries.

A good neighborhood supermarket! The staff is always friendly and helpful, especially the managers who hang around the self check out area. Prices are more expensive than Costco but that’s expected. Love it when they have the 99 cent broccoli sale.

There are two very important things that you must know about this place. One is that it’s in almost the exact geographical center of the district of Wallingford. Two is that all humans need their quality food to survive, so chances are good that this place will serve you well if you happen to live in the area. For anything that QFC can’t cover, the nearby Bartell Drugs will probably be able to take care of it. But pretty much all your essential groceries can be found here.
I’ve been here to shop a lot for food, water, cleaning supplies, and dining supplies. I’ve also purchased some more unusual things such as a baby bottle, safety pins, air fresheners, and a toothbrush. One time, I needed to prepare food for camping and was easily able to locate graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, hot dogs, buns, ketchup, mustard, and even bamboo skewers. This store has even more stuff on the second floor. It’s a little different from what I’m used to because all the QFCs on the Eastside where I’m from have the merchandise a bit more spread out, but I don’t mind all the basic daily stuff I need being crammed into a little space.

QFC is OKAY. Three stars because it’s fairly close to my apartment and has a decent selection of fresh produce, meats, and anything else you would usually get from a neighborhood grocery store. For the most part, the prices are fairly similar to what you would find at Safeway, but higher than at Costco or Walmart (which is to be expected). Here’s an example — $ 1.59 for a can of chicken noodle soup. I could have sworn these cans of chicken broth and noodles are usually less in California, but if this is the Seattle standard then I guess it’s reasonable.
Would I come here again? Yes for the reasons mentioned above.
Tip: There are a very limited amount of parking spaces in front of the store (~10). There is, however, free parking in the streets around the area so it’s not too big of a deal unless it’s raining… like today.

Let’s see:
— They had a rat problem in the summer of 2014 (probably also before and hopefully less so after). More info here:
Just so we’re clear, the video shows THREE rats roaming about in the organic section around all the bulk food as a nice gentleman is videotaping them. I’ve heard funky noises from behind the shelves and there is a funky (I want to say rat-​like) smell in the peripheral aisles.
— They recently sent out a recall for fruits contaminated (potentially) with Listeria. The fun part is that the recall is for fruits, including organic fruits, from June 1 to July 20. Ummmm, I don’t know about you guys, but if I bought I peach on June 1^st I very likely ate it. Also it really doesn’t help to tell me «don’t worry, it only affects ppl with weak immune systems».
Most of the cashiers are nice and the folks there really do try. Too bad that this QFC seems to have such poor management that they have all of these PUBLIC problems.

***This QFC features very reasonably priced Choice steaks and there are a few nice touches like the herb, fruit and vegetable plants they sell just outside of the store, but overall selection in the store is limited; their fresh meat, fresh seafood and fresh produce sections feature a lot of mainstream items, but you will not find many hard-​to-​find options here***
This QFC has a fairly small free parking lot in front of the store’s entrance. Free street parking is also available.

I’m so old I remember when this place was a Food Giant (remember THAT, kids?) Oh how the space has transformed — most recently with the addition of a second story that houses a Starbucks.
I’ll admit this isn’t one of my favorite QFCs, but as my only neighborhood supermarket, I’ve nothing to compare it with. It’s not as huge as the one in U Village, doesn’t carry as much in terms of hot foods — but if you like fried chicken, try to live around the area — the smell of greasy fried chicken/​food fills the air surrounding this QFC every single day. Every. Single. Freakin’. Day.
Though the selection is not as vast, there is a bit of everything and the produce is quite fresh. Ventured out to the baked goods behind the glass case today and, oh my — never thought a bagel could sub as a doorstop, but mine became petrified within 30 minutes of my purchasing it.
On the other hand, the staff is always pretty nice and friendly. Had the lady manning the self-​check outs today juggling vegetables. Nice to be happy at work, I suppose. Obviously, she didn’t have the blueberry bagel.
