Fred Meyer

Horribly under stocked. Always out if hot dinner deli food before 6 PM. Aisle ways always are blocked by carts, and RUDE employees wont move those carts for you to get to the products you need. Poor excuse for customer service.

I used to refuse to shop at any fred meyer because of the overpriced grocery. Things sure have changed. They drastically lowered prices. Now i am a regular freddys shopper. Thanks!

Let me tell you about Cheryl.
If there’s anyone that you wouldn’t want to be a manager for a busy grocery store, it would be someone like Cheryl.
For reference, my husband and I were trying to cash three money orders that equaled a large amount. This was to buy a car, and time was an issue– which is why we didn’t just deposit the money orders into our bank account and wait for them to clear.
We went to the Fred Meyer on SE Columbia House Blvd., and they were only able to cash one of three. They told us to head over to the Fred Meyer on SE Mill Plain Blvd., and that they’d be able to cash them there. We race over, and we’re greeted by a customer service woman who tells us they’ll have to cash them as employee checks, and there’ll be a fee of three dollars for each. That makes no sense to us since the previous Fred Meyer did not have to do this to cash one of the money orders, but we were in a rush. She’s unable to, says the orders have been blocked, and that we’ll have to call the company that blocked them to figure it out. We try, and are locked out from the phone menu. After explaining this to the customer service woman, she calls in Cheryl.
Explaining the situation to Cheryl, and how we were unable to communicate with the company blocking the money order, her response was «don’t talk to me like this is my fault.» Of course, we weren’t– we were explaining the situation to her in a very calm manner. Upon further explaining that we were in desperate need of help, and this was a time-​sensitive matter, her response was a sneering «well… that doesn’t matter to me any.» All I could get out was «no, it matters to me» before she walked away. It was another five minutes before another manager returned in her place,
His response was that we had to return to the first store– that they were the only ones who could cash it. We knew this was a lie, but at that point we were so fed up with Cheryl and the store that we needed to get out of there. What was supposed to take only 10 – 15 minutes top lasted about an hour.
Racing back to the first store, Matt Griffin– the manager who helped us in the first place at the SE Columbia House Blvd. location– was a life saver. Not only did he deal with the company blocking the money orders, he cashed them personally, and fixed every problem we were having. That guy is awesome– the complete opposite of Cheryl
My anger isn’t with Fred Meyer as a chain. It rests all on Cheryl and the guy she sent in her place when she couldn’t be bothered to do her job. Also, this was on New Year’s Eve. If that’s how she treats customers and employees on a holiday, imagine how she treats them the rest of the year.
Cheryl is genuinely the worst– a human being who thrives on authority she doesn’t really have, or deserve.
Next time you shop at Fred Meyer make it the SE Columbia House Blvd. location, you’ll be glad you did.

Why can’t I return a thing I bought from other Fred Meyer? They said cuz it’s fucking over priced, you have to go back to the Freddy wherever you bought it. What a joke

I once worked at this store. Haven’t been inside in over 10 years. My check-​in was for the gas station. I don’t even have a rewards card anymore. I wonder if they still offer 3 cents off per gallon just for being a member of their free club. It was a great price and I was in need, so it was fate.

The deli, hot food, meat/​seafood count, and electronic deserve about a 1 or 2. Serious issues with some of their staff and terrible attitudes. The hot food is ⁹⁄₁₀ times pretty questionable, in fact it was sooooo bad tonight I’m putting it in the fridge to take back tomorrow to get my money back — it was that bad! Sad thing, I’ve lived next to this location for 25 years. They have lost a customer who used to be VERY loyal and spend thousands each year at the store. Now my business goes to Chucks Produce and New Seasons. I come here about 1x per month when I used to come 3−4x per week. If you’re going to shop at Freddie’s go to the one on McGillverary.

Today is the worst service. Just pumped gas almost 10 mins ago. The attendant is new. I have been coming forever to get gas all the time. It is the first time the gas attendant did not ask if I had a rewards card. I told I have a rewards card and his said oh.

I frequent many different Fred Meyer locations and this one is lacking compared to most. The layout is confusing (even staff have had difficulty finding every day items), there is no bank inside or attached (the only of it’s kind), and the available items are limited. That said, they have a great variety of alcohol (hard or otherwise) and a convenient gas station open 24 hours daily. Along with this the staff is friendly always and usually helpful. Because it is right off the freeway exit it is easy to hit on the way home but if you have an extra ten minutes I recommend going to the location on 164^th and McGullivray instead.

This Fred Meyer is disgusting. I’ve been here a handful of times but no longer. The produce is pretty old and the store in general is just dirty. The lady at the deli counter sealed the deal for me today when she acted like I was crazy for asking for Boars Head deli meat. She practically snarled that I would have to go to Fishers Landing for that and then just walked away with no explanation.

Good gas prices here and the store is very clean and well lite. The prices for the most part inside the store are pretty reasonable as well. Love coming to Fred Meyers!

Came to this Fred Meyer to get a Discovery pass for a hike we were doing in the Gorge. Customer service counter was great. In fact, I always have great customer service when I go to Fred Meyer.

I enjoy coming to this store for many reasons, one of them being is a store where I know I need a little of this and a little of that, I can come here to do all my one stop shopping. It saves me the hassle of going to one store and to another store. This is perfect for that person who hates shopping such as myself. Also, they have a great shoe selection for men.

Fred Meyer is the upscale everything store. If you can’t get it at Freddy’s you probably don’t need it. A tip is to use the bulk food bins and get only what you need! They have great preschool and under kid care so that you can spend a whole hour in piece and quiet.

This is for the Peet’s coffee in the Fred Meyer. I worked so long and hard to get your loyalty card punched to get my free beverage and then I go to redeem it and you tell me you don’t accept the old punch cards anymore. This sucks because I have only had this punch card less than a year and also it was not offered to transfer all of my punches onto a new card. Also the new card sucks because you have to buy 9 beverages to get the 10^th free. With my old card it was buy 5 beverages get the 6^th free.
I don’t really care that they changed the punch card. I am mad that they wouldn’t honor the old punch card. Oh well. #firstworldproblems

What is it with me and old people sometime?
Amanda and I got into my car after going shopping one afternoon a while back, I had lost the coin toss and had to brave driving out Mill Plain at rush hour… we had just navigated our way around droves of seniors and shopping carts in order to get a little of this and a little of that…
«Why are you changing the stereo? Don’t change it, I like that song… so I need a little Kanye in my day ok… what? You wanna go?» Amanda said as she turned the radio back to the previous station.
«mmm…» I responded. An old lady in what looked like an even older champagne colored Taurus rumbled up behind me.
«You sound like Marge Simpson.»
«Where’d that lady go?» I said, checking my mirror and ignoring her. Years of being tormented by my peers as «Marge Simpson» because of the horrid haircut I insisted upon having, flashed before my eyes.
«She backed up. She wants your spot.»
«Wha???» I whisked my sunglasses up to the top of my head and looked at Amanda. Apparently taking them off would help me understand the situation, «There’s two spots on each side of me.»
«Yeah, I know. Don’t hit her.»
«That’s gonna be a challenge, you see the size of that rig? That’s an unavoidable target. 5 bucks says I loose a bumper in this…»
The woman had now crept up farther and tooted her horn at me.
«I’m going. I’m going.» I rolled my eyes and repositioned my eyewear. Sure enough as soon as I had turned the corner the Taurus swooped into the spot and the driver made her merry way into the shop.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta sigh and keep going. That seems to be the case every time I come to Fred’s. They may or may not have what you’re looking for in stock… someone may or may not be there to actually help you. You may or may not get those «self checkout» kiosk things to actually work right the first time.
But when it comes down to it, they have a decent selection of the things you need for basic survival. Prices are reasonable, and you can count on the weekly ad to have something you probably need on sale. I like to think of the whole thing as an adventure in self exploration.
Just look out for old ladies.
