Meijer

First time at this location. Was similar to some other Meijer stores I have visited in the past. Well stocked, clean layout and the best part is it's close to Lake Michigan so you can get supplies for a day at the beach without a long trip. Definitely worth stopping in.

This is the only Meijer I have a problem with. I came in to buy a case of beer for a customer. It was an older guy eyeing me really hard. So i brought the 15 pack of beer to the self check out line, and the cashier came up and checked my ID and proceeded on her way. As i look at her walk off, I see the same older guy staring me down. He saw me pay for my things, and i started heading to the door. Then out of no where he starts screaming at the top of his lungs, saying, "Mam I need to see your receipt " I honestly didn't think he was talking to me because he just saw my whole entire transaction which was already irritating enough and i also thought when did Meijer start checking your receipt when you leave the store?. So i continued on walking and i hear him say it again. Now, at this point, everyone is looking at me like i just stole something. I looked back at him and said "whats going on? Did i take anything i wasn't supposed to?" He said I don't know, did you? I just continued on out the door. While he continued screaming. That was 1 of the most uncalled for and most embarrassing times I've had in my life. I don't know what it is, but everyone acts like they've never seen a black person before, whenever you walk in there. Which is very irritating. You don't feel welcome in there ever, and it shouldn't be like that. All I say is just be careful going to that store. It's a different kind of VIBE in there.

As much as I love price saving at the local Aldi, Meijer has a wider selection of products/options/brands. Everything is fresh. I love that I can use the app to shop and scan so I don't get stuck in long lines at the cash register. The store is always very clean. I also love the option to do curbside pick up for online shopping or have deliveries done when the weather or illness won't allow me to leave the house. Only complaint (and it seems to be the same for all Meijer) the aisles are not wide enough. It feels like you can barely get two carts through (side by side) half of the time. Really makes getting in and out quickly harder to do. Especially when most customers seem to want to just stand and chat in the aisles with no awareness that people are trying to get past them.

A couple weeks ago I went in here to do some shopping for a friend of mine. There was a specific item on the list though which was the red Christmas Oreos. On their website the location said B-0-0 at first I was like where the heck is B-0 so, I went up to an employee and asked her. I can’t recall her name but the conversation went something like this. Me: “Hello, I was just wondering if you could help me locate these red Oreos” I show her a photo of them and showed her what the location said. Her: “Oh yeah, they should be down this middle aisle right here” I proceeded to follow her. Her: “oh, I think they might have moved them” she continued walking so of course I followed her because I thought she knew where they were. She then proceeded to grab items out of a cart she was pushing and starts stocking them. I turn to my boyfriend and gave him a look of shock and turn back to her and she looks up and said with attitude “sorry I can’t help you I don’t know where they are.” Then takes her cart and walks away. WOW. Absolutely in shock with the lack of respect and customer service she had. The least she could’ve done was GET SOMEONE TO HELP ME!!! Girl needs to look for a new job or something.. customer service is so simple and easy she can’t even provide it in a professional or a well mannered way.

This store is consistently poorly stocked, come on Meijer, supply chain issues have been over for several years, your customers deserve a clean, well stocked store with produce that doesn’t rot the next day
