Harvard Market in Seattle, Washington

I live just a few blocks from this store. As far as it's location is concerned, it is, or rather, would be, convenient for my shopping. However, the out-sourced security persons repeatedly prove themselves inept and incompetent! The store has an absurdly high level of loss due to theft, in spite of the presence of security persons. Add to this, while the security persons are utterly incapable of reducing shoplifting, they aggressively assault, due to idiotic 'profiling' techniques, regular, paying customers!!!! I don't understand the mentality of ignoring the employees and others who blatantly, are stealing.... .....while actively assaulting their paying customers! Additionally, there is one particular member of the store's Management staff who repeatedly assaults myself and others with either no cause, or for reasons which can only be attributed to ignorance of the law, and a serious personal inferiority complex. This person should be terminated, with cause! His name is PATRICK!! Hey Store Manager: Brian, do you hear me? TERMINATE PATRICK, with cause and replace your Loss Prevention staff, with members of a capable, competent, intelligent team! There is, VERY soon, to be a new Whole Foods store, to be opening, about 1.5 blocks from this store. As well, there is another QFC location on Broadway, at Republican. I can only hope that Kroger, the parent company of this QFC store closes this redundant, soon to be pointless, store in the extremely near future.... .....as this store is a severe blight on our neighborhood, fore the above reasons! AVOID SHOPPING AT THIS STORE IF POSSIBLE!!!!
