Let me just start by saying if I could leave zero stars, I would. When it comes to location and cleanliness of the store, this Meijer is great. They usually have everything you need and it's nice because it's a newer store. The set-up flows well and they have ample self-checkout lanes if that's what you're interested in doing. HOWEVER. When it comes to employees, good luck. I'm excluding the pharmacy out of this, because everyone in their department is awesome and so helpful with scripts and questions. Really the only people I have to complain about are the cashiers, as in most of them, and the service desk people (but not all of them because there are a couple that are really helpful). Additionally watch out for little old miss in the back of the store usually working garden, electronics, outdoors area. You'll know her when you interact with her. First off, I went to meijer to print off some pictures, nothing too private, but pictures of my house, my dogs, niece & nephew, etc. When they are being printed, the lady helping me behind the desk decides it's appropriate to flip through every single picture I printed out- about 12 in total- MAKING COMMENTS TO ME ABOUT EACH PICTURE AND MAKING DISAPPROVING FACES/NOISES. It's NONE of your business!! Apparently in 2019 it's okay for this type of behavior. My second run in with her, my sister-in-law and I were trying to purchase a video game for my nephew, farming simulator, of all things. Of course the games are locked, not a big deal, we are patient enough to wait for someone to get the key to unlock it for us. Again, she decided to show her true disgusting nature, first of all acting like we were trying to steal the game, when in reality we were looking at features it included on the back. And no offense but, you aren't getting that game off there unless your biceps are the size of PAUL BUNYAN'S. Then she was annoyed when she asked us nastily, "Umm, can I help you guys with something?" Of course featuring her disgusted face like she caught us committing a felony. When we told her we'd like to purchase it, she took over 15 minutes "getting the key" and forced us to check out at the desk there even though we had more shopping to do. Just keep away from any females in those areas so you don't have to even DEAL with feeling like you're doing something illegal or feel like having your private information gone through by a bridge troll. When it comes to cashiers, you can usually get a pretty good idea if you need to change lanes or not by the obnoxious behavior most of their cashiers exhibit. Just take a listen down the lane and you'll know what I'm talking about. I called in to talk to one employee about when's a good time to come into the store now that covid-19 is in our area. I live with someone who is extremely high risk and need to go in at a time that basically the store is at its least busiest times. However I'm not just going to ask anybody at that store because NO ONE is interested in giving you a helpful answer. That is except for their possibly 5-10 decent employees. When I asked to speak to said employee, the person on the phone informed me they can't just give personal calls to their workers. Also that they were extremely busy at that time for him to come off the line for the call. I explained it wasn't a personal call and I could call back, but she could have cared less. She asked me how I knew this employee and what I wanted to ask him. As soon as I was done explaining this of course the baby starts crying, I stop talking for all of 2 seconds to grab my crying baby and the person on the phone just says well thank you for calling meijer and hung up on me. Not hey can I have them call you back. Nothing. Even when I asked her what times do they slow down, like later in the evening or early in the morning she says it's hard to tell. Sorry but I've worked in retail and I can tell you right now there were definite times they are busier and slower. But again, this is Manistee Meijer we're talking about. Just don't interact with anyone at the store and you should have a good experience. And if you do have to interact with someone, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! read more
