We received two notes from neighbors today about the bungled upgrade of QFC.
#1– what is up with QFC?
on my way to work this morning i ran in to get a drink for my kid.
its was a complete zoo. why didn’t they just shut the place down for
48hrs to restock and then open ready for the shopping public? instead
i get puzzled stockers looking at me as if i had just asked them to
help me solve world poverty when all i needed were some juice boxes. i
promptly left and went to safeway.
oh, i miss rainbow.
love your blog.
-y#2– QFC/Kroger really need to be taken to task for how they’ve handled customers during the remodel of the store on 15th. Why not shut the store for a couple days and stock the shelves properly? The poor checkers are beside themselves trying to find products, which are mostly in boxes on the floor. The army of previously/soon to be homeless people organizing vinegar bottles on aisle seven are completely lost. The shoppers wade through the mess for awhile before having a Safeway! epiphany. Not one to give up, I finally decided to play hard ball with these people and pulled out my Advantage Card for all to see. Did everyone go quiet and help me find the raspberry jam?

Place is a mess. Is this any way to welcome Red Balloon to the neighborhood?
You know what else I hate? Those cupons that automatically spit out at me when I am doing the self-check out thing. 99% of the time its for a product that I have no interest in. It kills me to see a huge pile of (paper) cupons going to waste at the U-scan machines. Why can’t I have the option at the end of my transaction as to whether or not I want a fricken Yoplait cupon?! And yes..it’s an AWFUL way to welcome us to the hood. *humph*
What a bunch of whiners! It’s not that bad. I have shopped there every day in the past 2 weeks, and lived. The changes they are making will be good once completed (target is December 12). Next.
