Meijer

Just home from my last shopping trip to Meijer. I went because I had an auto clip coupon from Mperks for 10% off general merchandise. It should register once I put my account info in their system but, NO, as usual I did not get my 10% off and the sales associate was of no help. Essentially Meijer stole $ 10 from me. This keeps happening so I am done.

This place needs new MGT. They look like they don’t want to help anyone. Horrible! I visited this store to get Pepsi which is on sale and other things. A handful of 2 liters left and the we’re all sticky. When I asked for help, someone was suppose to be sent to help me, and never showed. When I called customer care, all they did was say sorry. Bad meijers

Anyone that knows the Meijer history knows that Meijer predates WalMart, being founded in Greenville Michigan during the depression. WalMart could learn a thing or 3 from Meijer in fact. Meijer originated the superstore concept of 1 stop shopping and being open 24hrs. Hopefully they remember what made them special and do whatever they can to retain that specialness. Not sacrificing everything to competition with Wally World. Which is somewhere I rarely shop.

Wow 24 minutes to do a refund with 2 people in front of me. 18 minutes to check out with 3 items. These are some of the slowest Meijer employees on the planet #neveragain

I really do like Meijer. I do the majority of my shopping here. I like the prices, selection & products. I work nearby, so I stop 3 – 4 nights per week. Usually I’m here between 10−11pm which offers the advantage of being less busy. I use self check out 99% of the time.
The reason for 3* is lack of in-​stock items. 2 of my favorites and staples every week are Meijer Sherbet (raspberry or lemon-​berry). The other is Yoplait whips. They run out of these 2 products way too often!!! I can get the yogurt at Kroger, but that’s another stop and no one has the sherbet.
I wish there was a way to up the quantity on hand to meet customer wants.

The first time I stepped into a Meijer, I felt like I was in a movie. Meijer is a superstore that is very generic, yet very Michigan. It looks a little bit like a Walmart, with the same types of products and services, but with different fonts and signage. You can get everything you need in one stop: craft beer, boxed hair dye, live goldfish, undies, hunting gear, jewelry, gardening tools, craft supplies, and more.
Bonus: Gas prices are typically very competitive. Not quite as good as Costco, but usually less expensive than other stations in the area.
Favorite pun about Meijer — You can only go to Meijer on the Sabbath day if there’s an «ox in the Meijer»

Will never go back to this store.
Being that my girlfriend was living around the block and since we both work at a bar the hours are convenient. For so long I shrugged off the absolutely horrible customer service and disrespect, because hey it’s late no one wants to be at work. This time I’m fed up, she went to the store and bought me 2 Xbox games as a gift. One of the boxes was not wrapped in plastic, something she wouldn’t know to check as neither of us are avid gamers, but it still had the sticker on the side and was missing the disc. Mind you she did not handle the games until they were purchased. I then contacted the store and the same girl Diamond, tried telling me she clearly remembered the game being wrapped. When I asked for a manager she set the phone down and as I listened to her and other employees chit chat for a couple minutes finally the manager got on the phone, «Val» was very short and disrespectful about the situation. She did not take down any of my information or do anything except tell me I was going to have to deal with it tomorrow. I understand that it might be out of her power, but to not document anything and act so bothered is not ok.

You’d think its a Meijer, what else is there to say… but honestly there’s plenty to say. I shop here frequently because it’s close to my house and I like the MPerks deals they offer. However, this store has some obvious flaws.
90% of the time I shop here if it is after 12pm, the lines are very long and they don’t have enough employees. I try to come early in the morning on a Friday when it’s quite and not busy but the down side to that is they never had rotisserie chickens in the early morning and I usually buy one of those.
Today I stopped in around 6:30pm, grabbed a few items and headed to the checkout. Holy madness! There were 5 lines open plus self checkout (which I prefer) but every single line had at least 6 – 8 people in them. Someone who appeared to be a supervisor or manager stood in the front area yelling at an employee to give a cashier a break but clearly he needed to open another lane. I stood in line 30+ mins to check out!
There is also a very funky smell by the returnables area. Most stores stick their returnables section in either the front entrance area of the way back. Someone thought it was a good idea to stick it in the middle of the store next to dairy, a super busy area! The smell is so disgusting sometimes I want to puke! Maybe they don’t realize that it’s probably deterring people from buying their dairy!
However, it’s not all bad. They have a decent produce section and plenty of dry grocery. In general I try to buy my meat and produce at farmers markets but when in a pinch, they usually have a decent selection.

Would like to give a big shout out to Cindy and Gary, managers of the Toy Department. They went above and beyond (especially Gary) in helping replace my child’s bike. The bike was almost a year old and still under warranty. My daughter had infrequently ridden the bike. When for some reason the crank system just started to fall apart. We contacted the manufacturer, who really wouldn’t do too much for us. This was brought to the attention of the folks, at Meijer and they stepped up to the plate. Thank you very much!

I was on vacation and forgot my medication. I called the Meyer pharmacy, where we usually pick up my prescription, to ask for help. They could not have been less helpful and less compassionate. I was so frustrated and disgusted with how I was spoken to while I was just trying to fix a simple problem. Very very disappointed with Meijer.

Apologies in advance for the spelling and punctuation errors, as I dictated this instead of typing. I do not give out one star lightly, which is the only reason I haven’t given once star to this Meyer location. Although this is the closest Meyer location for me, I have been known to intentionally drive to a slightly further location in order to avoid going to the store. I believe it may never have been renovated since it was built, or at least the isles have not been widened since the carts got significantly bigger. Traffic flow is thus unmanaged and people move it slow pieces or block aisles with considerable frequency. If that isn’t sufficient to deter you from driving out of your way to visit this store, they also have difficulty for some reason managing their inventory. This means that many times when I visit they will be out of stock of an item I need, though it is never possible to predict whichit will be. Given that the convenience of Meyer is supposed to be one stop shopping, it defeats the purpose of this location to have to visit the Kroger store just up the street immediately after.

Awful store
Shelves are empty food is rotting
Do not go here
So many better choices

A hit-​or-​miss Meijer. Depending on when you go, they could be fully stocked with fresh produce, milk, breads, etc… Other times, they could be sparse, hinting that either the staff isn’t restocking the shelves in time, there’s an error with receiving, or that the second coming of Y2K paranoia in looming so everyone and their mom are cleaning out the shelves.
The store is generally clean… whenever I come in the early morning, there’s usually a guy cleaning the floor with a mini zamboni. Credit is also due to the updated pharmacy and health/​beauty section, which appears to be almost always stocks with a wide variety of industry standards. The three stars is given primarily because of the inconsistently stocked shelves of the grocery aisles. Buy hey, if you want a can of Bush’s BBQ baked beans and they’re all out, just look a bit to the left or right, and you’ll see a whole slew of metal cans with pictures of beans on them…

Throwing in an extra star for this Meijer. It’s the one I usually shop at, and I’ve had both bad (see my last review, lol) and good experiences.
Usually it’s decent. Went here yesterday and was ID’s for buying cough syrup, which was kind of amusing (but mostly just annoying — I’m 28 and you have to be 18 to buy it, apparently). I don’t think this Meijer is dirty at all, re: previous reviews, and it’s also a mix of ages, not just 70+. I can usually find what I need and am in and out quickly.
Only complaint is that the parking lot is always crazy crowded but that’s probably because most of the Troy/​RO people shop at this Meijer.

Even after years of coming here, it seems nowhere is quite like Meijer. I think Target carries nicer stuff, but the ²⁴⁄₇ hours is still what brings me here. I wish they had more floor help, but the people who help (when you can find one) are helpful and friendly. When you need groceries in a pinch at 3am, you can’t go wrong here.

Exceptional pharmacist! This is my usual pharmacy but today I came with a new insurance and I wasn’t sure if the Rx toothpaste was covered. Miss Vivian spent more than 30 minutes calling my insurance. At the end it was rejected. It was a bummer but what struck me was how professional, calm and patient she was with the whole situation. I greatly appreciated her efforts. I usually get good service from other pharmacists here too.

The parking lot is a jumble of roads and some of the roads to it are in very poor condition. Inside, the product and products are okay — standard for a Meijers. They do a decent job highlighting regional or Michigan products.
What really makes this store so bad is the service at checkout. Tonight was the breaking point for me. There was only one checkout with a human and it was quite backed up, so I hit the automated scanner. The person a spot ahead of me had 5 minutes of checkout issues. The next person had checkout issues. They had to send their son to track down Meijers help. I finally got up and standard checking out and the machine couldn’t weigh a cantaloupe. It seemed that at any given time, most of the non-​express checkouts had red lights and were stalled. After a few minutes of no Meijer’s help, nor any acknowledgement, I just walked away from my groceries.
This store’s management puts little value in having enough staff to provide reasonable checkout capabilities. This has been an rather common occurrence, though not at the new Detroit store.

Super nice workers. I lost my car keys one time while getting gas here. An employee came out and helped me search for them all over, when it was freezing cold outside.
Prices are usually decent here, when other places are higher. Parking lot easy to access here, too.

Shopped here– well attempted to shop here on 1÷3÷14 and this place was completely empty!
I mean absolutely no produce, milk, or breads left on the shelves! (I posted photos) I usually frequent this location as it’s close to home and work and I’ve never seen it like this before.
Is this place going out of business and I missed the memo? I asked one of the workers why they were low on items and he was pretty rude and replied that they «were still waiting on the truck».
Kinda bizarre to not have a fully stocked store if you’re open ²⁴⁄₇.

I would like to start of with a disclaimer that I really like Meijer. Just not so much this one, which happens to be the one I grew up with. Yes, this once-​great place where I formed fond memories of rising Sandy the penny pony has gone downhill. Plenty of other reviewers have touched upon most of this stores more blatant pain points, so I will limit my review to some pet peeves of mine that haven’t really been pointed out yet.
The average age of the customers at this Meijer is now approx 76 years old. Just something to consider if you prefer to shop with anything resembling a normal speed.
Be prepared to get stuck frequently in the aisles between multiple electric riding carts that are being piloted seemingly aimlessly. Also, you should fully expect that the person in line in front of you will have no idea how to use the self-​checkout lane they unwittingly got in line for – and that the store employees will be too overwhelmed with other customers to assist them. You’ll have to painstakingly teach them how to use the machine, just for them to forget everything you taught them about that damnfangled modern contraption before the next time they shop.
Aside from all that, this Meijer is rather ancient and dirty compared to some of the other area stores. Even though it’s a bit further drive for me, I far prefer the Meijer on 13 Mile in Madison Heights. Really the only comparative saving grace to this Royal Oak Meijer is their superior craft beer selection – which earns it a second star.
