Meijer’s C-Store 155

Meijer catches a lot of flack around here because they’re more expensive than Walmart but I don’t believe it. I’ve compared. I’ve shopped both and honestly, I can’t see a difference… Other than the company they keep.
I’d rather shop Meijer any day! It’s clean. They have most everything I need. It’s conveniently located. I use Mperks when I shop at Meijer and really that actually makes some prices cheaper than Walmart, especially when I earn rewards. Plus, I don’t have to deal with the same caliber of crowds.
Now, I’m not dissing people who like Walmart; I’m just saying it’s not my thing.
I will still go to Walmart… If I’m on that side of town… And if I absolutely have too… But given a choice, I’ll choose Meijer first.

Since my car takes diesel fuel, I often circle the pumps a couple of times looking for *the* diesel pump. Occasionally, I find two on two separate aisles. More often, I leave without finding a pump because they’ve hidden it behind the store.
Having been at the Meijer store, I decided to fuel up at their filling station since the diesel fuel was under $ 4.00 – $ 3.999. That’s not bad compared to $ 4.179 to $ 4.299 that I’ve seen recently, while the price of gasoline is much (30 – 60 cents) lower.
I went into the store with cash to pre-​pay. The person at the register gave me a blank stare and eventually, asked me why I was there. I went back to the pump, after paying and found that the pump handle had fuel all over it and couldn’t get it to work. I’m an idiot, right? I figured there was something wrong since there was fuel on the handle. I walked back into the store.
«That’s diesel?»
«Yes.»
“You need to press the red button.”
«Thanks.»
I envisioned a big red emergency button but it was this tiny thing that my thumb would cover and it was situated by the price display. It worked!
Having finished and went back to Mr. Blank Stare and got my change. My hand still smells like fuel, but the tank is full and I know better now. I didn’t look at the prices for drinks and whatever else. The interior seemed to have plenty, not unlike Speedway.
Meijer does have one special item that is difficult to find around here: E85 fuel.
