Meijer

Bottle return. …always waiting. Over a half hour today while people try to return bottles that aren’t accepted.

I can’t understand why this Meijer is so well liked or if most of these reviews are of the company as a whole. This location is pretty awful.
The recycling machines are almost always broken. Last time I was there, an employee blatantly told me that they’ve rarely worked in the 6 years she’s been there. I’ve never gotten a properly working cart; they always have one wheel broken or wobble or make horrible noises. Even if the floor is cleaned, the place just has a general look of old dirt. The shelves are usually well-​stocked but this often means maneuvering around employees who act like you’re somehow always in their way. Of the 40-​something checkout lanes, I’ve never seen more than 5 open at a time. Unless I want to pretend like I work there and check myself out, the wait can sometimes double the amount of time I’m in the store.
Currently, I’m trying to call to see if the recycle center is working so I don’t waste my time driving down there but since I’ve been listening to this awful wait music for over 20 minutes now, I’m probably just going to drive there anyway to see that it’s broken in person.

This place is always busy but offers a wide selection from food to clothing. I never been in a meijer before this one so, I have nothing to compare it too. Just a warning grab a cart before you go in because it took me 3 – 4 times to learn when it’s busy they have no carts inside. Staff is friendly and helpful as well!

Man I love Meijer. Open 24 hours, great prices, everything is easy to find, you always feel like you are getting a deal. You can find almost anything in their store. It beats supoorting walmart lol
It’s the one stop shop

All of my experiences this far have been great. Super friendly staff and fully stocked. I love their cars with cup holders and at checkout I asked for quarters, was referred to the service desk where I was quickly given two rolls. I don’t know about you, but trying to get quarters is trying to get water out of a rock sometimes.

I love Meijer. Every week you have something on sale that I love to eat. And then there are those sneaky «impulse buy» displays that suck me in & get me to buy stuff I never planned on. But it’s ok, you have everything I need. Your employees are nice to me & make me feel welcome. You are farther from my house than that nasty EvilMart store, so I will continue our beautiful relationship. You can feed me, & take care of my every whim. And I’ll keep coming back.

This store is horrible BY FAR! The bathroom is so disgusting that it looks like a crack house. You have people who just randomly drive around the amigos and NOBODY says ANYTHING to them and trust me… These people did NOT need them. I’m disgusted at some of the people and also the people who don’t have the courage as employees to tell them to put it back for people who actually NEED them. Another HUGE thing is that there were ZERO carts by the self check out OR in the area where they are supposed to go. Carts are scattered throughout the lot! I left and decided to go to the Lincoln Park Meijer where it is actually better than the Allen Park!

Wow. Never have I been in a Meijer store that was so entirely filthy, and just plain GHETTO. During the week when businesses are running, all is well, but try a Friday night, when you have to run out for toilet paper and it’s literally like a post-​apocalyptic war zone.
My niece, her fiancé and my goddaughter are in town tonight and we decided to make a Meijer run before we go to the zoo tomorrow. Granted, it was about midnight. A few essentials and we’re out… but as we passed through the doors and into the produce section, we were stunned into silence. The produce stalls were all half empty, there were gigantic black skids in every aisle as though someone had drizzled something sticky on the floor and then had shopping cart races through it.
Every aisle was full of stock that needed to be unpacked and shelved and I think I saw maybe one stock person in the whole store.
As we approached the checkout lanes, we noticed some paper towel on the floor covering something. As we got closer, we saw that it was a broken jar of jam all over the floor. Glass was everywhere and so was the jam. Someone casually covered it with a paper towel and left it. The entire time we were up front waiting to check out, which was about ten to fifteen minutes, no one paged for a clean-​up, no one who worked there looked at it or even seemed to think twice about it being there. We had to warn my goddaughter, who is three, to stay away from it, and a lady accidentally walked through part of it as she was looking for a checkout lane.
Not a single employee in the place appeared to give a shit about service, cleanliness, um, doing their job…
The parking lot was full of liter… filthy.
The store was trashed, a veritable wasteland… filthy.
The clientele behaving, for the most part like that was the norm.
I live less than a mile from the Taylor WalMart. I generally choose Meijer over WalMart for obvious reasons, but the sad fact is, on ANY GIVEN DAY that WalMart is a thousand steps up from what I saw at the Allen Park Meijer tonight.
MPerks or no, I am not going back there. I felt like I needed a bath with a wire brush when I left. Disgusting.

This Meijer is a relative newcomer to the Downriver area and probably the nicest. The store is light, bright and airy and has lots of room to shop. The aisles are wider than the usual store and the people working are very friendly. The store even has a couple of armchairs in the book area to take a breather.
The store also seems more fashion focused with clothing, hair supplies, perfume and cosmetics front and center and the rest along the edges.
The only glitch was when all the self-​serve checkouts went crazy at once-​major chaos!
But it was resolved and all was peaceful again!
Go before 9 am on Saturday, otherwise the store is picked apart by noon.

I like this Meijer store, it’s kept cleaner than the Taylor store.
But, I do have a few gripes: One, it seems that the ladies restroom at the rear of store near the sporting goods department can’t keep TP in the stalls. I complained about it once, nothing improved.
Two: Shopping is not pleasant when I am run into by Arabic women. This is not slur against them. It is FACT. Every time I shop, some Middle Eastern or Arabic woman will run into my heels with their cart. When I complain, they just walk away, don’t even attempt to say ‘I’m sorry’. Most of the time these women are not alone, but with family and everyone just stares. It is the strangest thing I’ve ever encountered. I have found that most of the time, they want to be *ahead* of as many people as possible, if you are walking too slowly they will run into you. My husband has seen the same thing happen to other people in other aisles (away from me) when we have been shopping, it’s always Middle Eastern or Arabic women. It is a shame no one has any manners.

I’m writing this review to tell you about Meijer’s meat. First of all, let me tell you that this store makes me mad because I SPEND TOO MUCH MONEY THERE. I’m going to have to start putting limits on myself as to how much I can spend. Anyway — the meat. I bought center cut, loin pork chops and they were awesome. I then bought T-​bones and they were awesome. I’ve been back for the same again and they’re still awesome. Can’t recommend their meat department highly enough.

Luv meijer place to go late night when u need something.

I’ve been shopping at Meijer before I could even comprehend what shopping was. My parents shopped there when my sis and I were kids and now my sis and I shop there pretty religiously.
Meijer is like the one stop shop that has everything you could possibly need with out having to rape your wallet to get it.
I love the fact that they have a giant wine selection, even though I’m not big into wines. Their beer selection has become better over the years as well, they’re definitely ramping up on Michigan Micros as an attempt to help the Michigan economy, so that’s a plus in my book.
As far as the groceries go, they have all of the same stuff that you can get at Kroger or Jack’s, but at a fraction of the cost. It’s safe to say I think my kids will be shopping here someday…

Big. Cheap. and Liquor!
Nobody ever told me this place was like a Target! I’ve always thought it was just a grocery store. Anyway, had my first experience with this Michigan staple very recently, and was surprised.
Got some needed kitchenware, a pumpkin pie, and some beer. sweetness!!!
My hesitations are the following. 1) i bought (god knows why) a KFC-​like bucket of chicken wings. Driest chicken i’ve ever put in m mouth. so bad! 2) while it’s AWESOME that they sell liquor here, their MO is to shelve one or two brand-​name labels (like Tanqueray, Jim Beam, Absolut), and then fill the rest of the shelf space with some really shady bottom-​dollar never-​heard-​of-​em-​brands… why sell garbage just cuz it’s cheap?
Otherwise, I’ll definitely go back… I’m even starting to wonder if it could replace my visits to Target. I noticed that a Brita pitcher at Meijer’s was 4 bucks cheaper than Target.

I hate Meijer.
I hate Meijer because when I have to go there, it means I need to grocery shop.
I hate grocery shopping.
That said, Meijer typically has everything I need to get my shopping done in one place.
I love all the different check-​out options, like the U-​Scan, the unlimited item U-​Scan, the express lanes and the regular lanes.
Occasionally, they’ll be out of the extra lean beef, or their deli counter wait will inch into the 30-​minute mark… (I swear, the people behind the counter move slower than any other service people I have ever encountered.) I’ve also gotten attitude on more than one occasion from the pharmacy techs while dropping off or picking up prescriptions, which really makes me dislike having to go into the store to get my scrips. For this reason, I’m knocking them from 4 stars to 3.
If Meijer wanted a solid 5-​star rating from me, they’d have to improve employee morale. It seems like they employ some of the most pathetic people with hardly any will to live, let alone do their jobs. A smile or friendly conversation are not had often at Meijer, which makes me think it sucks to work there.
This Meijer is clean, usually well-​stocked and checking out is typically quick.

I try to shop at Meijer for a number of reasons.
First, I am an odd man and I like to shop at odd times. Meijer is open 24 – 7 so no worries on them being open.
Second, they have more than just groceries so I can often eliminate making another stop by simply going to Meijer.
Third, their sales start on Sunday and are advertised beginning on Friday. This allows some one on a budget to come up with a plan of attack if grocery shopping on the weekend. In contrast, Kroger’s sales start on Monday and are not advertised until the same day.
Fourth, Meijer is a Michigan based shop and is union friendly (take that Wal Mart).
Fifth, although their normal prices are a bit higher than the competitors, the sales are much better. So if you know what you are doing, you can save money. This particular store doubles coupons up to $ 0.50 all the time.
Sixth and finally (mercifully), no stupid store card is required to get the discounts. Kroger used such cards, got rid of them, and once I threw mine out they decided to reinstate the practice. Great, thanks guys.
This location has been open a few years now and has not deteriorated as bad as some stores do after awhile. It is still relatively clean and in good order. However, there are often not enough cashiers working. The bottle return machines are almost always nasty and dirty and are usually out of order. They are too frequently out of sale items. The line at the deli rivals anything at the secretary of state and I have noticed a few times where expired groceries were being offered for sale. But none of these issues are unique to Meijer.

Meijer ~ my sisters favorite store if only to try to relive her college days with no where else to go during a weekday at 2am. So we reminisced and got into trouble with the Meijer Gestapo. My 30 something sister and 14 year old son were having a friendly game of catch in an aisle when we were told someone could get hurt that way. We immediately gave up the game and they proceeded to shop with me with mild pouts on their face.
On to the store! GREAT Meijer, even the Gestapo wore a smile, register lady was incredibly friendly. Bright well lit parking lot for the 2am shopping spree’s, plenty of carts and baskets all clean and in very good shape. Even the pharmacist was offering assistance. All very friendly, clean and the shelves were loaded with product, didn’t see empty shelves or hooks. Oh the choices. They have everything you could need all in one store! Everything shined, even the produce. So as long as you aren’t looking for a game of catch, this is the place to get it.
Meijer Taylor has been a pit for years so I have avoided all Meijers, this Meijer redeemed the chain ~ Bravo!
