QFC

Not the best QFC. I honestly would not recommend this location. It’s designed for a quick in and out for lunch. It’s not a true grocery store. Employees are not all that friendly and struggle to acknowledge you. The self check is worse. The attendant didn’t remember that they put stamps on my order and hesitated to give them to me. Even with receipt. It can take 10 – 30 minutes to get items from the deli. Produce department is so-​so. The floral department is small and items look well aged. I would not recommend this place.

Most confusing grocery store ever! The eggs and butter are hidden behind the wine section in the back corner of produce. The milk and yogurt is on the opposite side of the store from the cheese and sour cream, literally the two opposite end isles. Good luck finding what you need without help… When it gets late only one check out stand is open and there is a dog squeaky toy and a sign that says to squeeze it for an employee to check you out. What a bogus idea.

It’s your typical QFC store, same as you’d find anywhere else.
The parking lot sucks — I almost got hit twice by people not stopping at the end of the aisles at stop signs.
The store looks small from the outside, but is actually big. It’s really dark though, rather uninviting. Inside the front door to the right you can find the weekly ads. All their carts suck; I tried 4 different ones that I could barely even push/​turn before deciding to just grab a basket. The aisles are small and cramped, people don’t move either.
Came in specifically for some soup that was on sale, only to find the shelves wiped clean. Tried to find an employee to ask if they had more in back-​stock, circled the store and could not find anyone. BUT, on an end cap I found more soup, so that made me happy!
Used self check out, so didn’t interact with any employees. Most likely won’t come back, not a fan of QFC as it is due to the overpriced product.
Use your Fred Meyer card for rewards points here as well.

I was very disappointed in my chop chop salad. The meat, cheese and tomatoes were in huge chunks. I understand that they were busy but the lady could have been more polite when I ordered it. There was no forks so I had to bring my salad all the way back to work to eat it.

I was checking out at the self register on Mar 22 and my 6 year old daughter helped me load the groceries in the bag. There came a very unfriendly associate telling me that she can’t touch the plastic bag area because «it offsets the scale». So we brought everything back to a checker to pay.

I live closer to the one in Lakehills in Bellevue Washington but I’ve got to tell you that nobody there has any clue of where things are or what’s going on so I decided to go to the one in Factoria in Bellevue Washington. All the employees are extremely happy the know where things as far as product .
There are plenty of checkers never waited more and longer than five minutes even during rush hour or on holiday week.
What a truly awesome clean good pricing ect been shopping there the last two months and I couldn’t be happier.
Thanks for ever thing

I love QFC, I am a frequent visitor to their dowtown location on 8^th across from Belleveu Square mall. On this occasion I came here to run in and grab something, it is smaller than the others and seems just as busy as downtowns. I love using the rewards card and earing points toward GAS rewards! Love it!

This review is for the bakery. My wife ordered a custom princess bday cake and it turned out perfect, it had a wand and tiara on top — which was a cool momento. The frosting and message was completed as requested. And most importantly it tasted great. And it was only 29.99! Great value, as other cakes of this quality would be 150 $+

My daughter wanted to get a google play card and asked us for several days to go to QFC to get one. We did, and tried to activate it. Within 10 minutes of the purchase, we discovered that the code on the card was invalid. QFC told us, that was our problem, and that we had to take it up with google. That’s another story, but I wonder if that’s now their policy regarding defective merchandise… take it up with the other company, be cause they just sell the stuff.

Love the variety available in the deli, but some of their workers need to move quicker to better service their customers. Also, there doesn’t seem to be a good way to prioritize sandwich orders in terms of completing in order of receipt.

Always decent, good selection, and an alternative between Albertson’s and Whole Foods. Can get a few organics, vegan cheese (which you can’t get at Albertson or Safeway).

My Wife and I usually shop in qfc, Boars Head meat!, but I refuse to shop at this one. I work nearby and as 3 out of 4 times there is an employee smoking outside the front door. I know they are employees because I see the badges, uniforms and have spoken with them directly. One of the smokers I spoke to is actually an asst. manager. Additionally, they were smoking while the gm was outside watering the plants… He said it would be handled. Just 10 minutes ago the same asst. manager was out there smoking. For a company that calls out «Since our earliest days the Kroger family of associates has taken care of our neighbors and each other.» It is a shame that at times those people who walk to your store are greeted by a cloud of smoke. I, like others, probably keep walking. Qfc and Kroger need to get this shop to respect their guests and staff as smoking kills– and stinks!

This QFC is a relatively good place to go for a quick grocery trip if you live or are around Factoria area. It’s large enough and has relatively large parking spots next to other strip mall establishments, so you are likely to find some parking spots in one way or another.
Alhough this is a relatively large supermarket, selection of some items are still limited. I was trying to find duck breast, certain types of ice cream, etc, for example, but couldn’t locate any.
OVerall, a decent place to go… but if you are looking for a little more specific item rather than common goods that you find in a supermarket, they may not have it.

Nothing too special about this location other than it’s A LOT cheaper than Safeway. I do come here for some things though and whenever I receive coupons via surface mail.
The staff here is some really good, some bad.

This QFC has a great selection and is always well stocked, conveniently located close to the shops at Factoria and T-​Mobile.
They have a great deli where they make fresh salads and sandwiches to order.

Great store. Beats Safeway nearby. Produce and deli section very nice. Small store is easy on the feet for us old folks. We shop here every time we come to visit family here

I came here for lunch. They have a wonderful lunch selection here. I didn’t have any complaint with that. I wasn’t too pleased when they were out of the yummy soup of the day but that happens when you go for lunch at 1:15 PM.
It’s their check out process that I can’t stand! I was in line for a checker but their cash registers don’t have anywhere to put your food. So I didn’t set my one item on the tiny shelf. Which made the lady behind me think I wasn’t in line. It was awkward and the lady was rude. All of that could be avoided if QFC had better queues.

80+ check-​ins… I go here a lot.
I’ve been doing the majority of my grocery shopping here for the last 2+ years. The employees have been friendly from the start and it just keeps getting better. I love going to a place where you can run up and hug the cashier while wishing them a happy new years.
The beer selection! It’s not the best I’ve seen, but it’s really good and reliable. I love a place that keeps my local brews available.
I rely on their deli a lot for lunch time food. They have everything from corndogs and pizza to salads and sandwiches. They even have pre-​made sandwiches located in the clear case by the meats and salads that you can pick up for relatively cheap. Myself and a few others are addicted and have our own favorites.
Why not 5 stars? You try parking in that parking lot. It’s best to go late at night or early in the morning. Otherwise that place is crammed.

The store remodel was nicely done They have a great Peet’s coffee bar (with gelato to boot), beautiful produce displays, seafood counter, etc.
However, I find the employees here to be rude and haughty. I shop at other QFC’s (Mercer Island, downtown Bellevue, Coal Creek, Duvall in Renton, Issaquah) and find much friendlier, nicer employees.
So what’s up with that? They are always snippy. Last week I bought two meat items that were supposed to be «buy one, get one free». Well, they did not ring up that way. Clerk was so rude, telling me I was wrong about the sale. Undeterred, I went back to the meat dept., and they verified that I was correct. Back to the register, and clerk again refused to ring them up properly. Had to call a manager over.
I rarely stop here, only when I have an errand at the Bartell’s next door and it is just super convenient… otherwise I avoid this bunch of sour puss, rude employees, clerks, checkers, etc.
Another con: Parking can be difficult, lot crowded and busy.

Review for the seafood counter and cashiering services.
Did you know that your shellfish should be tightly closed when you buy them? My hub didn’t and I was off gathering up other items. We brought two packets of mussels to our friend’s place for dinner and popped them into the fridge for a bit.
When it was time to eat, all the mussels were open and our friends knew that was wrong. Upon closer examination, some online research, and a «tap» test, it was just a risk we weren’t gonna take.
I returned to the QFC to ask for a refund. I talked to the first free employee I saw, who directed me to a manager-​type person who then directed me to go to the seafood counter. Okay fine.
Same guy at the counter (it was just an hour’ish ago that we were there). When I explained that we just bought these mussels and they’re all dead, he took my bag and returned the pricing stickers for the return (for which I had to go back to the front of the store). My friend pressed him by saying that he shouldn’t sell these at all but he was indifferent. Funny thing is, when we were waiting for the seafood guy’s attention, the meat guy was coming out (we didn’t know he was the meat guy) and we told HIM about the open mussels. He goes: Oh yeah, those are totally dead!
So the meat guy gets it, but the seafood guy selling seafood does not.
I went back to the front counter with my pricing stickers to get my return. The cashier was rather rude by insisting that I hit the wrong button for the transaction to go through. Credit vs debit. I didn’t see that option come up. What I did see was to ACCEPT or NOT. I accepted [what the hell is the problem?]. Eventually, after much huffing she did something and I got my cash back.
In conclusion, skip the seafood and hopefully what you buy you never need to return because they seem mad for you wanting to return something that was dead.
