	Attention shoppers: A solution for QFC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The understanding between QFC and its shoppers was that customers paid a little more than at other stores, but they got a little more in the way of service and selection.
		QFC found a comfortable niche between the standard grocery chains such as Albertson's and Safeway, and the gourmet, upper-end boutique stores, and made a nice living at it.
		QFC might not work as part of Kroger, but it might do well as part of a more focused chain that understands the niche and knows how to market to it.

	040307 Woman Sues QFC Over “Mad-Cow” Recall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Crowson's lawsuit says she bought the ground beef from a Bellevue QFC on Dec. 22 and on Dec. 23, the day the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced the disease had been found in a slaughtered Yakima County dairy cow.
		QFC's Burt said the supermarket chain relied in part on newspapers and television to get the word out about the meat recall.
		QFC, Albertsons, Fred Meyer and several other supermarkets announced Dec. 24 that they were voluntarily taking the meat off their shelves.

	QFC says it acted appropriately in beef recall
		The suit alleges QFC negligently sold the meat and did not appropriately notify the family -- and potentially hundreds of others who bought and ate beef from a batch that was ultimately recalled and linked to a slaughtered Yakima Valley Holstein.
		In her suit, Crowson contends that QFC had the "means and ability" to contact her and other customers who unwittingly bought the beef by tracking purchases through QFC Advantage Cards.
		Crowson's suit claims QFC neglected to do that -- at least not until after she learned through a news story in January that QFC had carried the beef, and then called the company on her own to have her purchases traced.

	QFC sued over mad cow case
		The suit contends the family bought and later ate ground beef from their local QFC that was part of a batch processed at Vern's Moses Lake Meats on Dec. 9 and included meat from the diseased Holstein.
		But the family's suit claims that, although QFC was aware of the recall on Dec. 23, the store did not begin pulling the recalled beef from about 40 of its stores that carried it until Dec. 24.
		The family only learned QFC had sold any of the beef in question after reading a news story Jan. 10 about a Mercer Island man who discovered his family had eaten affected beef that he bought at a local QFC store, Crowson said.

	komo news \| Lawsuit Against QFC Allowed To Continue
		Crowson maintains QFC was negligent about warning consumers, especially in light of the QFC Advantage Card which tracks not only her purchases but her name, address and phone number.
		Because of that card, Crowson says QFC was negligent, in not warning her as soon as the store knew.
		While allowing Crowson's claim that QFC was liable because of the store's role as a product seller, Judge William Downing granted QFC's motion to dismiss Crowson's two other claims that QFC was liable as a product manufacturer because it ground the potentially tainted meat from its supplier.

	QFC "Advantage Card" is no Bargain
		When they bought out QFC and Fred Meyer stores in the Northwest a few years back we were not surprised.
		Nor were we surprised when, despite assurances that QFC would remain card-free, Kroger imposed a shopper surveillance card called the "Advantage Card" on QFC shoppers on May 1, 2002.
		Of course, QFC is promoting the card as a great way to save money, but experience has taught us to take Kroger's savings claims with a grain of salt.

	Overlawyered: QFC mad cow class action
		In other grocery lawsuit news: you may remember back in December that a single Canadian cow was found to have mad cow disease, and as a safety precaution, tens of thousands of pounds of beef were voluntarily recalled in addition to the 10,510 pounds the USDA ordered recalled.
		The filing complains that QFC wouldn't reveal to the Crowsons that the beef they purchased was recalled until after they received a written and signed request; QFC hasn't said so, but I would imagine that that requirement is a consequence of a privacy policy.
		The complaint also says that "some of the meat" was consumed after December 24, a negative pregnant that suggests that the rest of the meat was consumed before QFC learned of the mad cow exposure.
