We are able to get our groceries in a good time which is great as I don't like when stores have aisles that don't align with what they say. But never had that issue here. We also did do an online pick up and it went perfectly well except they were out of one item I wanted but the process was simple and easy. The staff here have been courteous and friendly, helping us whenever we have a question or issue at the self-check out. The prices here are good and if you have the app, then it's even more helpful in helping you save. My boyfriend and I have been recently shopping Safeway in recent years and it has helped a lot for our grocery and diet needs.

Trader Joe's in Federal Way is one of our favorite places to shop. The store is always clean, well…read morestocked, and has such a welcoming atmosphere. The employees are consistently friendly, and the food is always fresh. We especially love their yogurt selection and all the fun snacks we always bring back home to Hawaii whenever we visit. I also wanted to give a special thank you to Felicia, who truly went above and beyond for my daughter, Chlea. We had been trying for a while to get one of the limited summer mini tote bags, but every time we came in, they were already sold out. One day we met Felicia, and after hearing about it, she kindly told my daughter she would try to save one for her. As a busy mom with a toddler, it took us several days before we could make it back to the store. What amazed me was that Felicia actually remembered us. She had even written Chlea's name on the bag she had set aside. The smile on my daughter's face when she finally received it was absolutely priceless. It wasn't just about the bag. It was the kindness, thoughtfulness, and genuine care that Felicia showed. Moments like that leave a lasting impression, especially on a child. Thank you, Felicia, for making our visit so special. Team members like you are a big reason why we love shopping at Trader Joe's. We truly appreciate your kindness, and we'll always remember this experience. (The plants were my photos back in covid days making our house felt like home In Maui. )

If someone in the barangay is walking around with one, they know it came from the US. That's how strong consumer influence is. The tote bag line tends to be longer in Federal Way and Kent. This is not surprising since Filipinos have lived in the south end (Algona, Auburn, and Kent) since the early 1900s. The community has grown since then. Everyone has a reason for standing in line. The bag drops are cultural moments. It's someone is sacrificing their time for the elders. It's a reunion of friends and family. It's having conversations with strangers. It's a social event. I've witnessed it, experienced it, and embraced it. The two employees managed the mini tote bag distribution pretty well. An excited ajumma tried to grab the bags Black Friday style. The first employee went into linebacker mode and protected the bags but also themselves. The secondary employee politely and respectfully spoke with the customer in their native language. I'm guessing the conversation was about the process because the customer paused and listened to him attentively. I'm surprised there isn't a TJ's in Renton or Southcenter. Just like in football, this is a missed opportunity. If I were living in a state or country that didn't have a TJ's, I'd do a shopping haul before getting on the plane at Sea-Tac.

I couldn't check out with my discounts and they wouldn't help. I left my full grocery cart there. Called the manager who sounded nice but all he kept saying was " i wish they would have called me or another manager.Because this was an easy fix" but they didn't call a manager, and they didn't offer any other solutions. So now i'm sitting out in front of fred meyer, trying to get the guts to go in.And face the pain to do a second grocery shopping trip that I really didn't need to do today because I have a lot of shit.I have to do every day. This sets me back at least two hours, maybe more. It's going to cost me an extra hour.A second time. The manager apologized and is going to send me a gift card.So that I will try them again. But I haven't decided if I will use the gift card or not yet. Because so far, shopping at q f c for me has been a huge waste of time and money. If their prices are high and they offer digital coupons.But then you cannot use the digital coupon price.Even though you've signed up and you're a member, then that seems kind of like false advertising to me.You come into their store even though they're more expensive than every other grocery store you pick out what you want on coupon.You go to buy it and you have to pay full price.That's a scam. If it happens one more time I'll be calling the lawyers and police.You cannot be scamming people. It's like they're dependent on the fact that you spent so much time.There, shopping and picking up your groceries.That they hope that you'll just pay full price at the register.Because you're too frustrated to walk out and go to another store. It's immoral. It's anti america. It's anti advertisement law. The manager did seem to care, but the two cashiers that I had a problem with the past two times I went absolutely did not care. They didn't even call the management up, which is what they're supposed to do apparently.But they probably didn't want to get in trouble for not helping the customer.So why call the manager when the customer will just go away? Pathetic. One star rated. If I ever decide to go again and they change things.And I see that their cashiers have been trained I will come here.And I will change my review. I really doubt that's gonna happen.

I went shopping at Valley Harvest Foods on Military Road in Auburn and noticed the Mexican…read morerestaurant inside the market with a casual appeal, a fairly decent dining area and a cafeteria-style counter. The service was friendly. After checking out their salsa bar, we took a chance and ordered the Chile Rellenos, a 3 Taco Combination Plate with Asada, Pollo, and Pastor, along with Chips and Salsa and a Piña drink. Their food reminded me of a family-run restaurant with authentic street food taste. The chips and salsa were fresh and made a great starter. The salsa was flavorful. They don't pull back on the heat which is perfect. We also tried the Piña drink, which was refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. The Chile Rellenos did not disappoint. The pepper was tender, good amount of cheese filling and their tomato sauce paired well. The 3 Taco Combination Plate was the highlight of the meal. The meats were flavorful, the rice and beans was traditional and everything paired well with the salsa from the bar. I was so impressed with their table side service. This is truly a hidden gem and the prices are on par with other area restaurants. I definitely enjoyed the experience which was amplified with a World Cup football game on TV, a small cheering squad and would highly recommend this spot.
