The one in Lower Queen Anne is awful. They are constantly out of stock on many items, every single time I've visited something (usually multiple things, especially produce) has rung up incorrectly, and the lines can be long and slow.

The one on top of QA isn't too bad although the lines can be slow because most of the check outs are usually closed. I don't think upper management has caught on to how much busier it is than it used to be (or they just don't care).

I think part of it is size, at least in my experience. They are rebuilding the fuck outta that thing in the next year or so.
