Fred Meyer One Stop Shopping

Man. I have never in my life been this irritated by a deli worker.
Sure, I don’t go to a lot of delis. But you’d think at some point I would have experienced one that had such inept, cantankerous employees.
One in particular got to me. Man, I made the mom face. You know which one— that one that your mom made when you REALLY screwed up, and you were like «Oh shit» cuz the second you saw it you knew you were boned. Yeah. It was that bad. It was so bad that I transformed into my mother. Terrible.
This chick.
She’s like 40 or so, bun, just angry unhappy woman who clearly shouldn’t be working there. She does her job in asking me «what can I get for you» before I even have made it to the counter (she shouted it when I was still 4 or 5 feet away). I laugh and point out that I just got there and I’ll need a sec. She decides to be offended and spits «you know I HAVE to ask that, right?» inmediately. Ok, lady. I worked for this company. I know EXACTLY what you have to say. I’m just being nice with you. (I essentially say this, but nicer.)
She responds «Oh so you know how much FUN I’m having.» — heh. Ok. I laugh uncomfortably and step back, letting her know I’m waiting for a friend before deciding.
5 minutes later I’m ready to order. She’s doing nothing. Literally nothing. She’s standing back by the slicer doing nothing. I wave her coworker over and give him my order (written on their handy sheets).
TWENTY FIVE minutes later (I timed it, I assure you) my sandwich (it’s not toasted, there’s no reason it took 25 minutes) is ready. I got it as a meal, so it comes with a store brand can of soda.
Well, there’s no options. She tosses a Big K Cola at me. Uh. «Do you have K Orange or Dr K?» «No. Cola is what it comes with.» (Super untrue. You’re full of it, lady.)
She smugly offers me a fountain drink instead, and makes sure I need to walk all the way around to get the cup.
The soda machine is broken. She knew this cuz she works there and there’s a sign on it. Why even offer this? What is your deal, grandma? If you hate making sandwiches, go into real estate or selling khakis. Don’t just torture the rest of us.
Anyway, I finally book it the hell out of there and eat my sandwich. Which she totes forgot half of the veggies THAT WERE WRITTEN OUT ON A FORM FOR HER and lumped the meat all in one corner.
How can you not make a sandwich… off a form.
How can you not.
How.
Just how.

I have been shopping at this store off and on since 1988. It has gone through many changes much like the city of Lynnwood. While the store isn’t the nicest remodel, their selection is always good from soup to clothes for grandkids, nuts and bolts to fix what broke.
Tonight was particularly great all because of the cashier at self-​check out James. I rolled in after my own 11.5 hr work day, puchasing not only some weekend groceries but another full catering order that was to ring up separately. He wasn’t pushy, frustrated I had so much, or upset it took me about 25 min. to check out.
Instead this pleasant young man kept asking if I was doing okay, if I needed any help, called out the fruit and veggie numbers to me so I didn’t have to search, and took care of all the other customers around me. He even got me help out with the cart load of groceries at 9 pm on a Friday! WOW, Fred Meyer, he is a keeper, reward that employee… management potential in the bldg.

It’s a Fred Meyers. what else should I say? The demographic reflects the city that it’s placed in. They have all the groceries you’d typically need and an abundance of parking.

Very helpful staff and very organized store. Everyone was very helpful during my time there. I also got my license plates and registration done there and the staff was so fast and thorough. Prices could be a bit cheaper but great quality.

It’s kinda weird to do a review of a department store, but Freddie’s really is great and puts the competition to shame offering both good prices and a good shopping experience that is much classier than the big box competition and even some shopping mall department stores. This location at Thrasher’s Corner is easy to access from every direction and quite modern. Today I bought a hitch and ball for my truck. Yesterday I got groceries and tomorrow who knows?!

Customer service is the worst. Gift card bought at this store was not charged. They will not do anything about it.

It’s aone stop shopping. However, you need to ask a rain check you need to wait and wait. Because the new policy is only the manager can write rain check and You have to wait 20 minutes for it. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO ISSUE RAIN CHECK MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT RUNNING OUT OF STUFF.

I come here often and it is what you would come to expect from a gigantic, evil, cancer-​on-​society box store. It is cheaper than the smaller local stores, as you would also expect. One thing that I’ve noticed is that, for all the shelves and yards of products, they don’t actually have a great selection. Smaller stores might have one quarter of the space but have three times as many items packed in. The Fred Meyer, however, has only a couple varieties of any particular class of item, but they will have it for ten feet down the aisle.
Make sure you have lots of cash when you come here, there are usually a lot of homeless men and women asking for change around the doors.
