Meijer

I love this store and their prices are buy far the best in town. It’s much cleaner and nicer than all the Kroger’s and Walmarts in town. I like to shop late at night and the staff there is really nice and helpful. I will always shop here and no other grocery store comes close.

Meijer is (in my humble opinion) the BEST grocery shopping option in Springfield. Cleaner, better stocked, MUCH better organized, more customer friendly, etc… I don’t go here as often as I should, and every time I do chose to come here, I wonder why I bother with the other two (K &W) !! Prices see on par/​better than the other choices in the area, and though I (not so secretly) might loooooong for some other, «trendier» local options (dare a girl to dream for a Trader Joe less than 30+ miles/​minutes away???) this is not a bad choice at all, in a limited choice locale… Really, if it weren’t for the (IMO) pesky M-​Perks, along with no options for gas price discounts here locally, they’d get five stars for sure!

I like Meijer. It’s like a Target-​y Wal Mart. Rarely busy, I can get just about any general purpose thing I need. I like the self checkout setup quite a bit. The scanners are user friendly for me. M perks is sweet and I have earned many discounts for buying stuff that I was going to get anyway. Sign up for that thing.
Also worth noting this is a great spot for noticing the sunset and sighting rainbows for whatever reason. Pretty colors are pretty.
This is where I get my groceries and stuff now. Four stars in its category.

Great location, ample parking and great prices. Meijers has all that you’ll need. Unfortunately they have the worst scanner system of the 21^st century. One in management might learn from Aldi’s system (super fast).

I try to be a positive person. However, the Meijer in Springfield has disappointed me on a fairly consistent basis.
When Meijer switched from the old style checkout lanes to the new rotating — lazy susan — type checkout lanes, I stopped shopping there for awhile. I felt that it indicated a drop in service level from a store that charges exorbitant prices for nearly everything it sells. Ultimately, though, I returned.
Next, they produced several u-​scan lanes… nice when you want to quickly get in and out and have more than 12 items, admittedly. However, recently, after a late night shopping expedition, we found only the u-​scan lanes open… again, something presented to us as a «convenience» is being used to save Meijer money — with no reduction in grocery prices. If I feel like bagging and scanning my own groceries, there are other stores at which I will receive a discount for same. At the very least, Meijer should post the hours when this will be happening. The u-​scan attendant offered to scan in my groceries for me — but, given the other people that needed her assistance I didn’t feel right having her scan in my large order while people waited for her help. When I spoke to a manager to offer my two cents, she was quite terse with me, and offered nothing — I would have been thrilled if she had simply told me she would pass my complaint on to someone.
Allow me to note that, having been in this superstore for about 2 hours, I was exhausted — I am a diabetic and I believe my blood sugar wasn’t right. What I really wanted to do was sit down and rest… instead I scanned in almost $ 300.00 in groceries. About 10% of the time, the scanner/​lane malfunctioned and the attendant had to come assist us by punching in override codes and whatnot. It took forever.
We were finally on our way out of the store and we found out the doors by our car were locked. We headed out the doors at the other end to find blizzard like conditions. Cold and tired and at our car we began to unload, when the attendant called to me that my payment had not processed. I went back to rectify the situation and was told that we would have to bring the entire order back in and re-​ring it. That was the last thing I wanted to do — but I needed my groceries.
My boys and I brought everything back in, with some assistance and it was re-​rung (this time by staff) and we were on our way… an hour after asking about a full service aisle.
All this is really annoying, especially when you couple it with things like their tendency to put non-​sale items next to sale items on end caps… making it look like all items are on sale.
I don’t go to the grocery store to be tricked or put to work. Just because everyone needs groceries and individual items don’t constitute a major purchase, the staff and management should not assume they don’t have to provide service or sell their image. Especially not when two blocks south or north their are far better choices in grocers.

This is a very nice Meijer compared to others I have shopped at in the Dayton area. Clean, bright and friendly employees all make for an enjoyable shopping experience.
