My roommate and I shop at two different stores, he shops at Meijers and I shop at Aldi's. OK, I have to bring my reusable bags, and bag my own groceries, but the prices at Aldi are so much lower - I never pay more than $1.89 for any kind of cereal, and it is as good as or better than the name brands. They don't have the variety of items like Meijer does, but when you are on social security, I am just glad I can buy a large quantity of good, wholesome food. My roommate and I often compare prices on things like Creamer, or Milk, sour cream, etc. It's unbelievable to me that he would continue to pay double my prices in some instances (Milk $1.69 gallon, any kind) just because he is too lazy to bring bags and bag his own. I'm laughing all the way to the bank.

I really like Meijer.com. I've ordered quite a few products there and have consistently gotten good deals. Items have always arrived sooner than the website indicates. I feel comfortable ordering from them because you can just bring the item back to one of their stores if you don't like it. I believe they also have free return shipping but I have never tried it.

The Meijer stores around my part of Michigan are really big, but always clean and uncluttered. Help is typical for one of the big box retailers although the employees always try to help you if you've managed to find one. Overall I rank Meijer at the top of my list for these types of stores.

I just bought a crib from them and it was shipped in no time and in perfect condition!!
plus I got free shipping!!
The communication with them it was great and I knew what it was happening with my order all the time.
I highly recommend this seller.

OK.... where do I start. I have been an employee for Meijer for almost three years and to be completely honest I feel like I have wasted my time and energy on a company that could care less about me. I feel that the employees that actually make a difference get the short end of the stick. In my position at work, if my boss has the day off I am expected to do his job as well as my own. The store director actually came up to me and said, " since your boss is off today the email that I sent him the other day ( it was an email explaining that there were some tasks that needed to be completed for an inspection), is now your responsibility". I did what she asked me but was furious that I am actually doing a job that my boss should have already completed, for a lot less pay than what he receives. So, coming to find out, all those little tasks that i completed for my boss, was for a BACKROOM contest not an inspection. It was to make the store director look good. I was enraged that she would lie and make me believe that these tasks were important. This angered me so much that I asked my boss for a raise considering I am expected to do his job and he LAUGHED at me. I was very offended that he would react in such a way. I told him that I didn't think it was funny that I was being serious. He said that he was not laughing at me but at the situation. He said that he tried to get raises in the past and it went no where. He made a a good point when he said, "they are always going to find the one thing that your not doing right." And that is how this company makes you feel that your best is never good enough.

BUYER BEWARE Meijer.com doesn't not necessarily have inventory in stock or actually in their warehouse. They actually "broker" products from outside vendors. For example on the Wii Fit product that they claimed they had as in-stock is actually shipped and ordered from an outside vendor. What is troubling about this type of business model is they can not possibly keep control of their inventory. If you order something and their outside vendor does not quickly update its inventory it will take 6+ business days to find out your order is not going to happen. Meijer is supposed to stand for quality. This method of inventory and quality control is dangerous and quite shady. BUYER BEWARE! Meijer.com is not the same as walking into their store. I would strongly look elsewhere. Who knows what type of "grey-market" stuff can be sent.

All check-out folks are great and
if I'm looking for an item there is always people to help find it.
Additionally, I left my purse in a
buggy and ran back...they had it
asked for ID and returned it. Great service in prescriptions too.

The Meijer in Noblesville, Indiana is a nice big store and it does feel like you have to walk miles for something. However, the aisles never feel crowded. My problem is the deli area, they have a poor selection of deli meat. Most of it is their brand and I would like to find healthier, less processed brands there. I went there tonight and planned to get fried chicken (I know not healthy but dont't get too often) and they had maybe 4 dried looking pieces left. The two rotisserie chickens they had were also very dry looking. It was only 6 pm. and there was only one person working in the deli at the lunchmeat section and no one at the hot foods section. Several people got frustrated and left including me. I called the manager after I went to Marsh and he said they are supposed to have plenty of fresh chicken at least until 8 pm. Somebody is slacking.

My first time here was probably the closest I've gotten to like...a nervous breakdown...Meijer's are pretty big one stop shopping deals;so it became a matter of walking for "miles" trying to find what I wanted,then trying to find the right exit,car etc...I grew up in Detroit when ma and pa stores were still the rule..huge store   mazes are - to me -a big part of the increased-and to this city guy-negative influence of the increasing importance of suburbia..

Meijers has repeatedly tested my patience, when they first opened in our area (preston hwy, louisville ky) , I ejoyed shopping there. They matched ads , had double coupons and could write over the amount on checks.
The matched ads stopped , coupons were limited to two not, just ones that were doubled(50cents and under)and checks could be written for only the amount (that has changed)..Last night I went to the store at nearly midnight to find ONLY SELF SERVE registers were open(and I had an over flowing cart) while 4 cashiers stood in front talking , after a few minutes of aggrivation and talking to the woman behind me who happened to be in a wheel chair and was also getting teed off by this, i asked for someone to get a manager to open a regular lane . I was told "they didn't open lanes at night"!!! I should have left the cart, ice cream and all and just walked out, but I didn't and as it was I still has to get one of the "stand around talking" cashiers to come help with my coupons. This isn't the first time Meijers has been inept, more often than not there are no sale items on the shelves and while talking to a cashier one day I was told that their manager only allows a certain number of sale items to be put on the shelves each day even if there plenty still in the stock room...his reasoning was that the customers would have to keep coming back in to see if the sale items were back on the shelves...and buy other stuff....
GUESS what, walmart matches ads and after last night meijers hit the last straw...walmart has a full time customer now!

it used to be a good store, but now instead of having someone check out your groceries for you, you have to stand in a long line while YOU check out YOUR OWN groceries and then bag them. it seems to me that they are getting rid of jobs and having the consumer do the work for them. win win for them. not only do they not have to pay an employee to do it, but i dont think that the prices of groceries is going down at all. people should start shopping at stores that offer a full line of service until meijer wakes up and realizes that its not just about how much money is to be made, but about quality, service, and american families that could depend on the jobs that the consumers are now doing. maybe all the money their making is going to go for the fines and lawyer fees in the pending acme store.

  Meijer is OK..I guess..I have been to Michigan (where Meijer was founded) and their stores are significantly better than where I live. I do shop there more since they started doing unlimited double coupons, I assume to compete with Kroger (which is king grocer here). They tend to move their grocery items around a lot and I end up wasting time looking for what I need. They also do not have the selection Kroger has; also I prefer Kroger because I can get their store brand cheap and it tastes great. Meijer brand is TERRIBLE!!!!

I do love though how they have the larger U-Scan lanes for unlimited items. Those are really nice!

Very pleased. I am a full time meijer customer

Love the Grocery side,wide aisles,signs and items easy to find, makes for faster shopping for the older folks.Friendly and helpful staff.

Why would I give Meijer 1 star. Perhaps because I have been with/around the company for so long. I remember when Mejier was a family based family run company to what it has become today.

I remember when Mejier had FAMILY picnic's arrange by store and warehouse employes.. usually one in each county. It was GREAT. Now.. if you work for the company they do everything they can to get every thing for nothing.

They have gone from having a full grocery staff with at least 6 full time employes on the night shift.. to 4 full time and the rest part time. There was a time when you would find at least 10 people stocking night's in grocery, now your lucky if there are 7. When a person leaves the company they no longer replace them.

Now let's talk about overtime practices. NOW if you are asked to work over time you have to say.. I don't want to stay, BUT if your saying you need me and I must then I will... or you don't recieve time and a half for the over time you work.

Time off practices are very unfair... they have gone to a computerized system.. and to be honest.. MOST of the employe's don't know how it works.. then the managers don't check to see if any request's have been put in... I know this for sure because of someone that has been refused one vacation after another.. simply because the system was never checked. They have also been known to let others with less senoirty take time off before those with more senority... or make up BS rules.. like a week between vacations...

They claim that this is a holiday week, yet, the employe's do not get holiday pay for this Holiday.... so then how can it be a holiday week??

The double standards and the complete disregard for their employe's has been evoloving over the last 22yrs.. and has never been as evident as it is today. Ask a few of the stocking employe's how they really feel.... or if they had a choice would they still be there... I bet the answer is a resounding.. they would rather work any place else!

a bit more than a four. Meijer has good deals. they are a huge store than sells just about everything. they have a big grocery section with a good selection of food items at good prices. they also sell clothing, and everything else. they are only in a few states. the only bad part of Meijer is it is usually very busy. especially in groceries. and can get crowded. i have heard from people who came from other states and remark about how they like Meijer.

I LOVE this store. As a vendor, I have to deliver product to all of the grocery stores in my area. These people are the most pleasant to deal with. I have even had their employees offer to help stock my product (managers included). They treat you like a human being which is much more that I can say for Wal-Mart. I HATE Wal-Mart and have even gone as far as to refuse gifts from people if it was purchased from there. It may be rude of me to do this but I cannot support a business that treats its employees like crap and expects their suppliers to bow down and kiss thier feet simply because they are the largest retailer in the U.S. You just don't get that at Meijer. As a shopper, Meijer's has great weekly specials and friendly, helpful workers. I feel at ease walking around the store and "browsing" for hours at a time. Everything is usually clean, neatly displayed and easy to reach. Unlike Walmart, where shelves are cluttered or items are dumped into bins and you have to dig through unwanted items to find what you want. If Meijer's have one fault, its that they never have enough checkout lanes open. How can you have 47 checkout and only 3 are open!

We Used to love Meijer, but recently quit shopping there for weekly groceries, because of poor selection of brand-names in lieu of their store generics. Also a new phenom. just started with sale merchandise. They are now putting up sale signs that say "UP TO" 50% off,etc. When I sorted through the rack, I found nothing even CLOSE to 50%. Misleading, if you ask me!

I used to think our Miejer stunk pretty bad, but they recently remodeled and maybe even re-trained their help on how to be more friendly. I have been having decent experiences with them and I do like their generic medicine line better than the other stores in my area.

Great grocery selection, friendly employees & great customer service make for a great store. Sales are some of the best and ordinary prices aren't bad either. This is my store of choice.

Another week...another change in placement of items in the store. When I get the chance to go shop at my local Meijer in Kettering, Ohio, I am on a limited time schedule and do not have time every week to find where things have been placed from week to week. While the employees are willing to help, I do not feel that that should be there job and I think that the managers need to find something better to do with their time and employees than to constantly move things around.

Meijer is the best grocery option on weekends (because Kroger doesn't start their sales ads in our area until the following Monday). KILLER sales on top-name items (especially Coca-Cola); stocking up is essential. After the food deals have knocked you out, sidle on over to the electronics department and check out the television sets and DVD players; their regular prices are usually better than Best Buy, Kmart, Walmart, etc. (be warned, however: their DVDs are ridiculously overpriced). They do a whopping business, and I'm glad to see 'em thriving in this part of the country.

Generally I find shopping at Meijer a very plesent and enjoyable experience. Product selection is good and inproving in the retail component of the store while the grocery component is second to none. Prices are competitive as well. Wrapping things up is customer service that is very good as compared to other big box stores. Team Members are friendly and helpful. If I had my choice between a Wal-Mart supercenter and a Meijer store, Meijer would be the first place I'd go to.

I'm a newer Columbus-area resident and was delighted to find Meijers. However, twice now I've been overcharged for things. I've had to go back into the store, wait in line at customer service, then wait while the clerk double-checked my truthfulness. Each time, the amount I was overcharged was in double-digits. Today, I bought a lot of Christmas gifts, all on sale at 40% off. One item - plaid flannel pajama bottoms - was sandwiched in between two racks of items on sale and this rack didn't qualify for the sales price (see comment below with respect to end-shelf pricing practices). I think this is deceptive pricing. Another item was on sale only in sizes 8 to 18, but the sign was so high up, the words sizes 8 to 18 so light and barely readable, that I could barely see it. Again, my size seven was mixed in with items qualifying for the sales price. And then, to make matters worse, a shirt which I was charged $23.99 for and was on sale for $12.99 got me a $9 refund, not an $11 refund. By that time, I was too tired to argue for another $2. So...bottom line is...always check your receipt. I won't be shopping there again because I think their pricing practices are shoddy and deceptive.

I used to work there, they were OK with me. The prices are good. Sometimes, however, they engage in shaddy end-shelf pricing practices, meaning they would put high priced items next to sale priced items making it real easy to pick up the expensive product by accident thinking you got the sale priced item. Krogers does the same thing.

Meijer is terrific. I love Meijer the prices are very,very reasonable, the selection is impressive, the produce department will beat a high dollar grocer anyday and the deli department is inexpensive and has a massive amount of variety. Oh, by the way Meijer pays well also.

meijers dept. store is a very nice place to shop and everything is available. The staff is polite and very helpful. The only concerns that I have is the time it takes to get through the check out line. I was in the newest meijer store in columbus,ohio off of Broad street at waggoner road, The lines weren't that long, but the checkout was so slow. This is the only thing that needs to be addressed. Thank you. Peggy Gaiters august 5,2004

As far as department stores go, the quality of Meijers goes above and beyond places like Wal-Mart. Spotlessly clean and well-lit, it offers low prices on food, electronics and whatever else you need. Unlike other dept. stores, it has a wealth of helpful employees and you manage to shop there without pulling out your hair. Its almost enjoyable to shop at Meijers and that's a feeling you don't always associate with dept. stores.

I think Meijer is a fantastic store. With large time consuming stores, low prices, quality, freshness of food, and nice service makes them my store to shop at.

This is a good store. I like the food selection and can find almost anything I need there. I went to Walmart looking for a tonneu cover for my truck and asked a person if they could find the one I needed in the back and was told no way. So after I complained and got thaqt rude employee in hot water I went to Mejier and asked the same question and the person went to the back and brought me out the one I needed and even helped me carry it outside. They have pretty good customer service.

Meijer has a great selection of food. They have one of the best grocery areas ever. They also have good clothes and toy selections. However, the electronics selection (at least, the Meijer in my area) has a poor selection.
