Sadly this remains a sketchy location in terms of safety and clientele. That is not their fault…read more(although it could certainly be the fault of upper management). Shoplifting is rife (we see at least two groups of people shoplifting every time we go here) and, for safety reasons, the staff can't really do anything about it, plus there is zero security, which they REALLY need (although the police regularly apprehend folks here, it sounds like from what staff was telling us). So yes, staff was a bit overly chatty about the dire conditions but who can blame them? This location really needs an overhaul to create safer conditions for everyone. In terms of stock, yes, it's fun to shop here, and they have good sales - if you be sure to check the expiration date! We enjoyed, for instance, getting some topnotch bagels for 99 cents.

Hadn't been to Trader Joe's in a while, but the opportunity to travel with a few neighbors from the…read moreTukwila Senior Living Apartments presented itself. I had nearly 2-hours to shop before being bussed back to the apartment complex so I must've circled the entire store and gone up & down every isle 3-4 times when my eyes came rest on Trader Joe's Dark Roast Coffee ($6.99 for 10- oz. bag of ground coffee). Never having tasted the coffee, and knowing how much I like dark roasts, I picked up a bag. The first thing I did upon returning to my place, was brew up a fresh cup of coffee. The 100% Arabica beans lent off a heavenly aroma leading my imagination to the fertile hillsides of Columbia, the jungles of Sumatra and the plantations of Cuba. Excellent flavors! Not over powering and oh so pleasant. I'm a regular Cafe Bustelo Espresso grind coffee aficionado and this Trader Joe's Dark Coffee

This location of Trader Joe's was relatively close to my high school classmate's home, so I stopped by quickly to take a look beforeIhad to meet up with her. I was so happy to see that the peach-colored AND turquoise-colored mini insulated coolers were available (at the entrance)! They're really handy as my niece has been using them to bring her leftover dinner to work for lunch the next day! She said that these mini coolers are a good size! I got some for her father, sister, and mother! Inside, this Trader Joe's was clean, spacious, organized, and well-lit. I got some snacks, greeting cards, and some yellow nectarines! I started looking for the store mascot and asked the cashier if these plushies were the ones. I showed her a photo on my phone, spotted the correct mascot, and took a photo when a female worker approached me and told me that "no photos were allowed in the store". I thought that she was joking until I looked at her facial expression. She was serious. Shucks. Oh, well... it's over. We got our prize (a lollipop) and took a photo outside of the store. We still went back the next day for more snacks and greeting cards because I had a bit more space in my luggage... LOL!

After a couple minutes I just left her groceries and walked out. As I'm leaving I observe there security guard, leaning on a checkout counter, playing on his phone. I even asked if he knew he was supposed to be working?! He said nothing, I'm not surprised! If I'm EVER Blessed to own a store, we're going back to '96 Baby! Employees looked like they belonged instead of like they just woke up and rolled into work sagging their pants with a shitty attitude! Do better Safeway, do better security guard! I worked in security and the only difference between him and me, he's his help, I was a security consultant officer and I took great progress on my responsibilities! I know what eye contact is and courteous etiquette instead of glancing at and marking the receipt without confirming that the items in the bag match the items on the receipt!

I'll have to request access to the footage; I could've lapsed and be wrong but I highly doubt it with change from a 100 dollar bill! I've checked the pockets on my pants and thoroughly searched my truck and there no qfc receipt or cash aside from the $6 I leave in my ashtray.* You know how when you go to your local QFC and you see friendly familiar faces and it makes you feel good to shop there even if the p process are a bit stiff. Today was a huge cluster of...just awkwardness and unfortunate circumstance. Typically after 6pm the daily donuts are discounted; they're considered day old...which makes sense to me! As I'm checking out, the 3 donuts I was purchasing rang up @ $17.99, I asked the self checkout clerk about the price of the donuts after 6pm and she said she didn't know, nor did she refer to a co-worker for confirmation. She just voted the $17.99 and charged me $1.89 each for essentially day old donuts...after 6pm! I was taken back and slightly frustrated and I'm the process of paying cash I forgot to grab my change for the bill I used. I didn't realize it until I was in my rig at the light about to turn left...in that time someone‍ grabbed my change and took off. When I came back and inquired about anyone returning unclaimed change, I got 2 no's and a shrug. Then the black woman, whom I'm assuming was in charge, had a..." I could give a damn, that's what you get!" vibe. Am I surprised? No; shit happens when you're distracted, apparently the thief needed my change more than I did...God's Hands My miss the crew that usually works self checkout! UPDATE: After talking to a manager this morning with the same 'could care less' attitude as the lady from last night, I accept the fact that my change from my $100 payment will not be recovered and I accept the possibility of my change being taken by an employee...such is life. Committed customer service and Integrity is rare nowadays‍ I love the night crew at QFC's self checkout, unfortunately I won't be returning.

Today I saw a loaf of (non-Wonder type) white bread for $9.99 and 5 oz yogurt for $1.99. Outrageous prices! But the worst part is seeing how they keep removing interesting wholesome foods and replacing them with ultra-processed low-quality Pepsico/Frito products. More than 50% of the store is now valueless crap. Final straw... they took out the parchment paper and replaced it with "countertop protection paper". Useless and unsustainable!

I was a courtesy clerk at 16 when there was etiquette, training and most definitely strict representation of the store's brand! No matter who you asked from the bagger to the manager, if they worked there, they knew where literally everything was located and if something was out of stock! Nowadays I get a lot of confused looks or "I don't know" and they walk off without attempting to assist! Nowadays you're lucky if you can find 1 committed, hard-working courtesy clerk at any store! To...I digress, let's get it! I initially ordered their 4 piece for $5 and a 1/2 lb of JoJo's. The 1st associate was very welcoming, sincere and thoughtful when picking out the 4 pieces. She'd just saved me a coupon and a trip to kfc for a $5 2 piece meal! As I was leaving there was a man at the door asking for change for food, I searched my pockets and found nothing so I said that I had nothing, he thanked me anyway. I went to my truck to see if I had any change there, I didn't so I went and gave the man my 4 piece and JoJo's and went back inside and ordered another for myself...this was the other associate. I ordered the same thing and she gathered it but not taking time to check the food for what's freshest and what's not like the previous associate had done. I came home and immediately regretted not saying anything; over 1/2 the jojo's were hard and stale! The pieces of chicken she choose weren't any better! Some weren't even hot, but they're all sitting in the warmer together so how is that?! It's the end of the day, I get it. It's a busy mother's Day, I get it. Customer satisfaction is your job...Get it?! Do Better!! To the initial associate: Thank you for your dedicated service! The man in need got some well selected fresh chicken for dinner and I'm grateful for that!
