Meijer

Meijer, there is nothing more pure Michigan than this shop. It’s the 24hr one stop shop, from groceries to apparel, electronics, toys to pharmaceuticals, it’s all housed under one roof. I like shopping at meijer, and I do enjoy browsing around from time to time.
This particular meijer is pretty nice. It’s set up differently from some of the newer meijer that I can recall, but it’s still pretty easy to navigate. We found everything we needed. There are associates everywhere and I haven’t needed any help at the time, but I’m sure they’ll be glad to help if ever.
I had a very good experience here at this meijer. I’ll come to shop around again if ever I need to go and in the neighborhood.

First off. I do like Meijer. They are almost always open and have 95 percent of anything I need. That being said, they have problems. ‘Joyce’ who works self checkout on nights, should be fired. Lazy, slow, unattentive and blatantly rude. I never wish for anyone to lose their job, but this one had got to go! Also, fitting rooms. No one is ever available in the evening. Manager paged for us (we used the red phone) and he paged 3x and finally I had to call him over, cause no one came, he huffed and puffed and acted like it was not his job, (like unlocking a door and walking away is so hard) (he was the black tall thin night manager). Last complaint, the steak section is limited, very few choices of high end steaks. Everytime I crave a good steak… none are available. Either they sell instantly or they order low because they don’t sell… don’t know
I’ll keep going there, but room for improvement is needed, hope upper management reads this.

Waited at the deli for 15 minutes for someone to acknowledge me even after I grabbed my number. Another lady mentioned that I had been waiting a while and Shaneice just shrugged her shoulders and did nothing to help. Luckily Fallon came over and helped when she saw Shaneice wasn’t going to do anything.

I have a major problem every time I go to this location. Joyce, who «manages» the self service lanes is terribly rude, and gets meaner if you interrupt her social chit chat to ask for her help… you know, HER JOB. It’s pretty bad when regular, daytime employees are talking crap about Joyce, telling you-​THE CUSTOMER, «that’s why she works midnights». Fire this person already!
The night crew stockers attempt to be helpful, but they’re more confusing than anything, because they’re high. I know this for a fact, because the seafood/​cheese sections reek of marijuana, which you can smell through the entire grocery sections.
I’m not a pot smoker, never have been because I’m allergic to it, and I get violently nauseated and vomit from the smoke/​smell.
I’ve mentioned this to several workers, including a manager, but obviously the managers are toking down as well, because they refuse to stop the weed smoking in the building.
I hate that this is the ONLY 24 hour grocery store close to me, as everything closes before I get out of work. I seriously have a horrible experience, literally EVERY time I come to this location. I’ve posted on their Facebook, I’ve called their managers, corporate, etc. to no avail. They don’t care.
This location really needs new staff, all around. I’m so over this awful place already.

Meijer is my favorite big box store and this is my favorite local Meijer.
Sometimes I go to the one at Coolidge & 14 Mile, other times I go to the one at Telegraph & 12 Mile. But every time I wind up wishing I was at this one instead. It’s best-​organized and has the best selection.
The Madison Heights Meijer is a little less geriatric than others (particularly the Coolidge store) and therefore the other shoppers tend to move at a more agreeable pace. The International foods aisle (as well as International produce) has a better selection here as well.
The only place I think this Meijer lacks, in comparison to the Coolidge store at least, is it’s craft beer aisle. They do a better job of stocking a good variety and keeping everything organized over on Coolidge. The Madison Heights craft beer aisle is getting better, I’ll give them that, but when it comes down to it there are better places to shop for craft beer than Meijer anyhow.
Careful driving here during Canadian Goose season (which is like 11 months long) and whatever you do, don’t try to pick up the cute little chicks wandering around the parking lot. I am referring here to both the Avian and Human variety. You should just trust me on this one.

Love this meijers. It’s a fun adventure when you come here. There are so many different types of beers one could pick from.
Their wine selection is just as bountiful. They offer lots of imported /​exported wines.
I really missed Meijers; since we now live outside of Michigan.

My main complaint is with the bottle return department. The sink has been broken for months and the room and machines are poorly maintained and cleaned.

Convenient neighborhood grocery store/​pharmacy that is open ²⁴⁄₇ for last minute or small shopping needs. Meijer also has a gas station on the premises whose prices are pretty competitive for the area. My favorite section is the produce. Very fresh. As someone who tries to eat one salad a day, I constantly run out of lettuce. Meijer is less than a mile away and is perfect for a small drive-​by after work. When I don’t want to drive all the way out to the commissary on Selfridge, I turn to this Meijer’s location!

I kick myself each visit, wondering if these low costs are worth the long wait in line. I spent 20 minutes waiting for lunch meat alone.
Ps — when you have 8 customers waiting, maybe hold off on the mandatory «do you want cheese or salad with that».
Ps2 — when you ask for the thinnest slice possible, why do they cut a sample size and ask if it’s thin enough?
** update — June 27, 2014. Been waiting in line for 30 minutes. All around me are dozens of customers just shaking there heads. I’m still at the back of a line that isn’t moving. Why do I keep forgetting how horrible this store is!

We dont hit this location often but we were very pleased with it when we did. Very clean and good produce selection, although I would prefer to be able to buy limes by the bag (they only had lemons) — it certainly wasnt the end of the world. Very clean store, and a friendly greeter welcomed us when we walke din.

I don’t really shop at Meijer too often, but I probably should since their prices are generally lower than Kroger. I have 2 options for Meijers where I live. I haven’t been to this location since we moved about 2 years ago. I have heard it was newer than the Troy/​RO location, so I decided to check it out.
The produce section seemed to be a little cleaner and stocked better, which isn’t saying much. I’ve never liked Meijer for produce, but I had to pick up sweet potatoes.
The lighting is kind of weird here. I don’t know what it is, but it’s sort of dim. It reminds me of how KMart is or at least what I remember. The shelves were sort of bare in areas that had a lot of sale items, which I think is pretty standard for Meijer.
I think this location is smaller than the RO location, but seemed to be cleaner. The parking lot wasn’t as ridiculous either. I’ll go back again. This could be my new Meijer location.

Coming from the Northeast, I’ve never heard of this place, but was immediately impressed with the size and «find everything you want» vibe. I think it’s an interesting blend of Walmart + Target, but with a little more green-​food selection that either standalone stores.
The lines… though, are really unbearably long. And the parking is difficulty =/

The produce here is amazing! I was so excited to find different kinds of Kale and dandelion leaves!
The rest of the store is kinda bland and Walmart feeling — but since good produce is so hard to find in this town — they get 4 stars from me!

I miss Super Walmarts/​Super Targets. Your produce was fresher than my normal grocery store and I could have purchased a coloring book a few yards away. That’s convenience. I was impressed general with your packaged pre-​made Thanksgiving dinner and your caramel apple pie.

While this location doesn’t have the shine of the Coolidge store, if I anticipate a mob scene there, I come to the Madison Heights location for a quick and easy in and out. More accessible by freeway and usually plagued by less traffic, the 13 mile store is good to go. It doesn’t have as many customers as the Royal Oak spot so navigating the store without the desire to constantly scold those oblivious people who leave their carts in the middle of the aisles is a relief. The produce is so so, although always better than Kroger’s and they generally have most everything you need if you’re trying to bypass multiple shopping stops.

I went to this Meijer just before Snowpocolypse ²⁄₁₁. It was very crowded, but what impressed me most was that just as fast as customers were cleaning off the shelves, the staff was quickly replenishing their supply. Meats looked fresh, fruits looked delicious and I was in and out in 35 minutes! I’ll definitely return to this Meijer.

I can’t say I’ve got too many complaints about this Meijer — it’s clean, well stocked, and the employees are helpful when you’ve got a question. The lines can be a pain in the ass sometimes (speed it up, cashiers!) and not being a Michigander I still can’t get past the stupid mandatory recycling this state has — but that’s hardly Meijer’s fault.
Compared to the Meijer stores around Lansing where I am now this place was a palace.

I would normally shy away from reviewing a store like Meijer, but every time I visit here it is an adventure and it deserves to be noted. Whether it is the great people at the Chase bank inside (who are always helpful and friendly-​more like friends than people you’re banking with) or the deli (which is always busy and full of the most senior citizens who are sneaky line-​cutters, that i have ever seen) or the fantastic employees (one who ran down the aisle just to tell me that he told me the wrong isle to go to for salad dressing); this place is a gem. And the self-​checkouts aren’t congested and if you’re machine rings something wrong or says you didn’t bag something the woman monitoring it is actually paying attention so she just clears it and you can just go on instead of waiting forever. This is by far my favorite Meijer.

It has everything
From pets to plants to pop tarts
And sometimes long lines

Since many larger chains are not ‘local’ to Michigan, I like the fact the Meijer is Michigan based.
In the past I wasn’t huge fan of Meijer, but I decided to give Meijer a second chance this past Autumn (2009).
What I found is a well stocked store, a great layout, and friendly employees… I was won over! The prices are great, and I don’t know if it by coincidence or magic, but it always seems like the items I want to buy are on sale, plus I have coupons — nothing makes me smile more than saving money on food (I prefer to blow my check on clothes and shoes. UGH).
If you haven’t shopped Meijer lately, I strongly suggest you give it a whirl.
