The prices are insanely high, they are even higher than PCC for many items. The people that work there are a mix, some are super friendly and nice, but there are a couple weirdos that work there that make me turn around if I walk in and see it's only them working at the registers. Their names are Jimmie and Sam. Sam sells chocolate bars he makes at the store, or the store sells them? Any way, I don't eat chocolate bars or dairy and they are made with milk chocolate. And they are $7. I think it's great to support people, but I won't eat the chocolate bars and the store is already too expensive, so I'm not going to buy it and there is SO MUCH PRESSURE TO BUY THE CHOCOLATE. And Sam has a major attitude because I don't want to buy the stupid chocolate bars. Very passive aggressive. With rising costs everywhere the last thing I want is to be pressured to buy something I don't want at a grocery store when I'm just struggling to survive. And Jimmie is just a major weirdo. There are also a few older ladies that always have an attitude for no apparent. I'm a very friendly and polite person, but I'm also the customer so I shouldn't be the one greeting them and telling them to have a nice day while they basically tell me to f*** off. It's very much a small town vibe and I feel like an outsider the shouldn't be there. I am very grateful for Grocery Outlet opening near by so I mostly go there for last minute items and I avoid Thriftway at all costs because I don't want to be pressured into buying the stupid gross chocolate or deal with weirdos with attitude.

I went on a Monday at 5:00 PM because I was starving but had to get something to eat that could be…read moreprepared really quickly due to time... and QFC happen to be in the same plaza so I decided to go to the deli there. It was actually nice that it was the first and closest thing to me when I walked in the doors. The cold section, where they dish you up the amount of food you want, was a little smaller than most delis but they had all the key, typical food that you would be looking for anyway In fact they had two chicken salads that you don't typically see in deli's and they were both delicious. The cranberry and pecan chicken salad, as well as another one that I now can't remember. Both employees were away from the counter working but we're paying close attention to see if customers approached the counter which is really nice since often times at delis they have a tendency to kind of ignore you until you can somehow get their attention or they decide they're done with their current task So one of the employees came right over. I needed to know if the two salads had any gluten in them and he did not know since he said he doesn't typically work at the counter but he offered to go and find out, which he quickly did and was able to actually print out the ingredients so I could also see for myself and not have any doubts. He was so extremely and genuinely friendly, and happy to help. Such a nice change from most customer service these days. I complimented him on his service and told him I recommend he actually work at the counter because he was so good with customers. The other nice thing was that he was quick and everything that he did rather than just taking his time like many deli people do. Which I appreciated since I was so so so hungry I wish I would have gotten his name so he could get credit for his customer service and attitude and efficiency and effectiveness. He was very tall, white, thin...oh and he had a tattoo under his left eye of two arrows. That should help someone know who he is and hopefully give him kudos. So I was able to quickly use the self check out and be on my way. The deli area was also very clean and organized. So I would absolutely return just for the deli itself

I walked in on a gorgeous peach display and though I had no intention of buying any I wound up deciding to take two home because they were so perfectly ripe. The first one I picked up had just the tiniest bit of that give which is so inviting. I didn't even want to look at the price because I was supposed to be doing "budget shopping." But when it comes to stone fruit that ripens in the summer? Irresistible. I walked in starving, it was late lunchtime, and everyone else was apparently trying to get a bite because the ready-made food here is somehow so good. I was tempted to get the brisket sandwich because I saw the way the young Chef seemed to be making it with such care and skill... But I headed over for something a little lighter and picked up an amazing locks on bagel sandwich which included the capers and the crisp slice of onion that always adds the nice sharpness. Then I decided to try out their tasting option because the dude behind the deli counter was friendly and approachable: He seemed happy doing his job. So I wound up tasting four things then getting their salmon pasta salad as well as the Mediterranean salad which was flavored fantastically, not too much vinegar, and also their beet salad. I saw someone at the soup counter going crazy about the curry chicken but I didn't see any prices and when I asked him how much it was, we looked around and didn't see the price and I decided not to risk what could turn out to be an expensive surprise at this time. For sales, what blew me away was how the Lacroix for $3.99 per 12 pack. I took home 6 of those 12-packs because it's summer and it's an affordable alternative to alcohol that is refreshing and bubbly. There was another brand I've never seen before called rumble and it was on sale two for five dollars I'll come back for that. As it so happened, some of their kombucha was also on sale which is always appealing. I decided to try a new brand with two new flavors. At the register the tall young woman (wish I remembered her name) was very helpful when I asked for her best recommendation for a good but affordable chocolate bar -- she mentioned Met Market's own brand $2.99 and pointed it out...and then when I asked about her favorite she showed me the Chao (?) $5.98 brand which I had never purchased before. Eventually I went with Moonstruck a Portland brand I've tried before, for $4.99. They had a dark chocolate with blueberry that was new to me. Then the amazing associate helping bag my purchases saw how many bags I had and seamlessly asked if I needed a shopping cart or if I would like help out. I decided to opt for the latter, thinking I would tip out of gratitude. But Kristi generously helped me and then graciously refused anything. With a calm smile, when she picked up my distress, she explained it was policy not to accept when I tried to insist -- she was both disciplined and firm in such a professional way all I could do is feel grateful. She deserves a shoutout. It was barely 3 minutes of bagging and walking but between that conversation at the register and the consummate professional customer service that Kristi demonstrated so gracefully...I actually felt for the first time that there was a genuine connection with the that I will look forward to the next time I walk into the store. Now if I see her again I'll ask how her son is doing on his Crew team (when I asked she told me that's where she was going after work to take her son to crew) -- because I used to be a Coxswain. You would think that there's no way to make connections in a grocery store but this Met Market maybe proving me wrong. Later that evening plans abruptly changed and I needed to pick up a small birthday cake to celebrate someone's birthday last minute. I decided to go back to Met Market because I had seen the individually sized birthday cake cakes in the cooler earlier during my lunch run. I decided to go with a chocolate raspberry cake for $13.99 over the birthday cake that was vanilla frosted with beautiful sprinkles that was $9.99. Uncertain if my son would prefer Pie over cake, I decided to splurge and also pick up the best pie our family agrees we've ever tasted -- Whidbey Island Pies -- and selected a cherry to take home with me. Then I stopped by the chocolate section and picked up four different bars including Moonstruck from Portland, Chao the brand recommended by the register team person earlier in the day, as well as Neuhaus (?) as a small birthday treat because my son loves dark chocolate. Sometimes a good connection goes a long way to making us feel like we have a place to go. I appreciate that this Met Market staff team for understanding that.
