Meijer

As a previous reviewer said, Meijer had a problem with expired dairy and soon to be expired meat. I haven’t seen that issue in several months so hopefully they’re getting better. Their skill crane is one of the most rigged I’ve ever seen.
Otherwise, the Mperks are very useful, gas and food are reasonable and they seem better staffed than Walmart.

Grocery store open ²⁴⁄₇. It has anything and everything. Out of all the grocery stores in the area, this is the one I consistently go to for all my needs.

The cashier in lane 21 at the rt. 59 Meijer at 10 am, 5÷28÷16 needs to be off the registers and doing something else. The customers should not have to tell him how to do his job. Not the right person to put on the register on a Saturday morning. He uses the hand held scanner for every item which slows down the checkout process. Puts one or two items in a bag which uses more bags than needed. Tries to be personable, but is very slow and nervous the whole time. Charged the person ahead of me $ 31.00 for 8 ears if corn. When they told him of the error, he backed it out and told them he didn’t know how to ring it up for the right price. They had to tell him to call a manager. This poor kid needs coaching or working in a non customer facing area.

THIS IS FOR THE GAS STATION EMPLOYEES
As a general manager myself, you need a staff turnover. I don’t know who trained the cashiers in the gas station, but they are the rudest people I’ve ever met. It’s not just one. it’s all!
Literally, 3 weeks in a row, I’ve gone in to buy something (all Saturday mornings). I usually get a donut, and pay with a $ 20. I ask for change, «may I please have 3 $ 5s back.» WHY IS IT EVERY TIME YOU HAVE TO GIVE ATTITUDE AND LIE TO ME SAYING YOU DON’T HAVE $ 5s. I have called out 3 different cashiers, 3 Saturdays in a row. The cash drawer opens, I ask for 3 $ 5s, they say they don’t have any $ 5s to give out, and then it’s me who says «Haha I see them right there.» And after I call them out, they get frustrated and give me attitude and become angry with me. It’s not like it’s coming out of your pocket ladies. Honestly, at the end of the day, a few things.
1. I’ll never return back here, you’ve lost business with me.
2. Customer service needs to improve, hire people who aren’t miserable with their lives.
3. Don’t lie to customers, we, as in we I mean me, will make you look stupid.
Thank you.

major source of fraud charges on credit cards! I don’t even live in Chicago and had two charges from this fucking store! There are many scams related to this store and credit card fraud!

My wife and I are regular shoppers at Meijer. We enjoy the selection offered and the prices are not bad. The big issue we have is with the cleanliness of the store. We stopped buying produce there cause the store is just not clean enough to buy anything that is not sealed. We stopped taking our kids there cause sooner or later they will have to use the bathroom and I can’t begin to describe how disgusting the bathrooms are. I really hope they straighten up soon. I would love to start doing more of my grocery shopping there.

The prices can very from decent deals to not-​so-​decent. I’m shopping here more and more because of the self-​checks.
My biggest issue is with cleanliness. The store interior is generally pretty well-​maintained, but the parking lot often has dumped fast food bags, drinks, food people have bought in the store, eaten, and then just dumped out of their cars (even though a garbage can is just a few feet away. Management should monitor this more closely, especially in the warmer months when more disgusting people are outside and using the lot as a trash can.

I will never EVER have a cake done here again! I had a cake done for my father’s 90^th birthday party and it was decorated like a 5 year old did it! The writing was terrible and they ran out of room writing HAPPY BIRTHDAY so the last letters were all squished together. There was a very skinny border around the edges and they were very skimpy. The «90» was the same size as the other lettering and hardly noticable. This $ 35 cake looked cheap, cheap, CHEAP! I couldn’t pick it up myself and by the time I got home to see it, all I could do was cry. NEVER AGAIN!

Meijer, what is going on? Last time I went here there were a bunch of expired things in multiple areas (dairy and dry goods), and then packaging was smashed on several items I was interested in purchasing (pancake mix, kleenex boxes). Not only does this make the stock unappealing to buy, it makes the shelves look scruffy. In the case of the expired stuff it’s just unacceptable (I turn the packages upside down on the shelf so others will notice).
I like this store but these aren’t acceptable things. Meijer needs to get it together and keep an eye on the condition and currency of their stock.

Hate to slam a business. Only complaint is that they have 20+ cashier stations and two cashiers working on a weekday 5:30 PM. They are going self-​serve check out and they are awful! Slow, machine locks up and just bad for big orders. Very frustrating-​made a good shopping experience go bad where I will not go back – sounds silly but with two kids, bad weather, you really want to just get in and out off a store.

Despite numerous complaints to their headquarters and negative online reviews, they continue to neglect and abuse betta fish. They got better for a while, but I was in there tonight to buy my daughter some winter boots (which they were woefully out of stock on) and I looked at their fish. The fish in their aquariums looked OK but the bettas looked terrible.

I will probably always be a fan of Meijers, simply because it’s a giant super store with everything I would shop for all in one place. It reminds of Super Walmart only with Meijer products. I like their deli counter, their brand of can goods and pullman loaf bread.
I have signed up for their text messaging coupon deals which come in handy when I do shop there. They give you $ 5 back if you spend like $ 75 or more and I tend to do that a lot when I am at Meijers.

I get my shoes from here because they are on sale! This store is pretty nice. I love Meijer! I don’t like how their self check out always has a line (8 AM, Noon, 9 PM), but you win some and you lose some.

Just gets worse and worse… Please clean your bathrooms. When I started shopping I went into the bathroom and it was Gross so I told one of the staff members about a clogged up toilet he said that he would check on it. When my shopping was done an hour later I went back and ugh… just check my pictures. I just CANT with this place.

WORLD’S BIGGEST MEIJER!
Needless to say, I was super pumped when I realized how close this Meijer was to my new apartment. This place is massive and has basically everything you’ll ever need on a day to day basis.
I have never walked out of Meijer without spending bucks, but, at least I walk out with a crap load of stuff. Unlike other grocery stores where you spend 100 dollars and walk out with 2 bags of stuff.
The only thing I with Meijer carried in general is Apple Gate meats. They’re one of the best brands for lunch meat and they don’t carry it, waaaaah. But otherwise, this place is off of the chain.
So, plain and simple… this place is my go to, minus Mariano’s. :)

One stop shop. Good old reliable, Meijer. Anytime of day. Agree that the parking and clientele is extremely better than at Walmart.

I’m from Atlanta, and we don’t have Meijer! If I had to compare it, it would be a good mix between, Walmart, Target, KMart, & Kroger/​Publix. It’s a great one stop shop!
I did have an issue with a manager on a personal phone call and ignored me while needing help finding medicine for my toddler. I let him know what he was doing wrong and he apologized, but then proceeded on another personal phone call.

First pump out of order.
Second pump did not take credit card. Good thing they have many pumps.

Always cleans and better then shopping at Wal-​Mart. You can get good deals on clearance and coupons of you use the pharmacy.

This Meijer is worlds better than the one in Bolingbrook.
This one doesn’t even remotely remind me of the movie Deliverance and the staff are friendly and helpful.
Cheap stuff, surprisingly helpful staff for a discount mega store, and a great garden section. I can’t wait for my Kung Pao Peppers and Summer Squash to grow!
