Meijer

Every Friday there are alcohol samples. Every Friday it's the same woman doing those samples. She is the least approachable person. She always gives me this look like I'm ruining her day by coming by to try whatever she's sampling. I feel stupid coming up to her every time. I swear I've seen her glare at me, my partner says he saw her glare at me when I wasn't paying attention. It's crazy that I feel like I am not allowed to go get a sample. Now there was also this woman at checkout who was just the best. I don't remember her name but on Halloween she was wearing a witch costume with like... Potion/poison earrings I think? Super cute getup. She went above and beyond to help us check out while we were struggling with our card issues which was definitely a lot of user error but she was so kind and patient and sweet and honestly I just wish her the best. Thank you so much for your patience and assistance. You made a frustrating time so much nicer.

This Meijer is always out of everything I need. I hate to go to a different location when this one is so close but half the time when I go they're out of what I specifically went for. It's good for a quick trip if you need a basic item but if you need something more specific prepare to maybe have to go elsewhere or pay more for a substitute.

I love being able to order online and pick my food up while avoiding the crowds. Love the 10 for $10 specials, need them more often! I do have one issue Meijer: Y'all need to do a better job monitoring the online pickup parking spaces because too many people are getting away with parking in those spots who don't have online orders!

I dont mind some of my complaints about this store. I can get by without actually complaining. But they now have speakers, OUTSIDE their store! Announcing store information, weekly sales, ect. This is not acceptable as I live across from Meijer, directly across from Meijer gas station. I often sit iny back yard, or at least have my slider open. THIS NEW SPEAKER IS ALL I HEAR NOW!!! Help...what can be done?

Probably the worst Meijer in town. If you go after 9 pm they'll have random aisles completely closed off so good luck getting your groceries. Curbside takes forever and they give you rotten produce, so avoid.

So the other day I went to this location to buy a gaming system. Well after 15 minutes of waiting no big deal it happens nobody had any idea how to unlock the case to get the system out. Okay so I left. Then today I went back again to buy the gaming system this time I couldn't reach anyone on the red phone. And the 3 people I asked for help either said it wasn't their department or they were on lunch and couldn't help. Thank you Meijer for the excellent service I'm enjoying the system I never was able to get.

The online return policy doesn't show the same as what they display inside only on board at customer service desk and when I bought the item I wasn't sure if it was right anf the employee insured me if I wasn't satisfied I could return it and I went to return and and was refused. Never listen to employees here now I have a useless item and there's nothing I can do about it.

Today I had one of the most unexpectedly stressful shopping experiences, but it turned into a beautiful reminder of how much kindness still exists in the world—especially from two incredible employees at your store. I accidentally misunderstood a sale and ended up with a cart full of items I didn’t need. Normally, I would’ve been so flustered trying to fix it—I hate feeling like I’m holding people up or stressing them out. But the cashier, Jama, didn’t make me feel like a burden at all. She turned her light off just to give me time and space to fix my order, not once—but twice. She even let me run out to my car to grab my phone when I couldn’t access my card. Her patience, grace, and professionalism meant more than I can express. The bagger, Theresa, was just as amazing. She helped me get a second cart, and as I removed items, she kindly unpacked the bags for me—without a single complaint. Her warm attitude and willingness to help made such a difference. They both went above and beyond, and I truly hope they’re recognized for the kindness and care they showed. It wasn’t just customer service—it was humanity in action. Thank you for employing people who truly care. I left feeling grateful, supported, and seen.

I wanted to add it to my review there. It's actually expired chips and they're fountain machines. Never working like all they have. Is code zero in the deli, so that's just minus one star.

The produce is definitely a great improvement from what it was in the 90s and early 2000s. It's more consistent with what you can find at Knapp corner or Cascade. But this place isn't as nice as those locations. The alpine location isn't a priority to corporate so their items aren't as good and it's not as clean or organized. I hate the layout bc I can never find what I am looking for in the isles.

This Meijer is so much more than either of my local Meijer. The signs are better, their departments are more organized, and the efficiency of the self check out area was on point. If we lived locally, we would certainly be here a lot. Lots of different departments including grocery, jewelry, clothing, electronics, toys and sports gear. Big downside is it can get crowded. Also, despite the great signage everywhere we had some issues in the produce section finding where certain things were, like tomatoes. Lines for checkout are a bit long, but efficient. They don't dilly dally but it still can take quite some time to make it through the lines. I made a bathroom pitstop before leaving and it was clean, but I can only speak to the women's bathroom. I'll definitely be back when in the area to see if I can get things that aren't stocked at my local Meijer.

There's a man who works in self checkout, goes by TB. coolest most personable most helpful employee I've ever dealt with. You're guaranteed to be leavin the store smiling if he's working & that's facts.

typical grocery store, stopped in for a few random items. One surprising bonus- had some interesting chips including the Paqui Ghost Pepper

Not sure why so many people are writing novels-long bad reviews for a grocery store. It's a grocery store. Sometimes things are out of stock. Sometimes lines are long. Get over it, people. The store has food, drinks, and miscellaneous items available for purchase. Can't ask for much more.

Only 2 lanes open on a very busy Friday in July. I know they want you to use self service instead of hiring people, but with a full cart and alcohol that doesn't work well

Honestly, I went to this particular Meijer as a little girl with my mom and dad so it does bring me back to my past unfortunately, in my grown up experience, it does not make me feel as fun and happy!! Especially where customer service is concerned!! This review is mostly based on my husband and my latest experience! We believe we were ripped off of $50 basically!! At first, the line at customer service was moving so slow, there was literally like 2 people helping 1 person and another employee just standing around doing nothing!! When I worked at Meijer, they told us to always be busy and occupied with something at all times so maybe standards are just going down the drain everywhere, IDK!! But I do know that it is really dumb to have all the workers attending to one person when you literally have a line forming!! My husband and I left the line to go get some of our products we needed!! I wish we hadn't come back!! We were checked out nicely by someone at the register and asked for cash back there too, which she actually gave us because I put the cash directly in my purse pouch!! We still needed a little extra cash though because they do have a limit with each transaction so when we got two money orders, we requested the $50 and my husband paid by debit!! He didn't give us the change at that time and it should have made me wonder because usually they give you the cash and then later give you the money order alone and the receipt but somehow I just guess I was thinking it would all be together!! Well, I must have had my head in the clouds or something that night because usually I check but maybe I just thought my husband had taken it or something and he thought I had it! We later realized, neither of us had it!! So, check and recheck your stuff people especially at the night shift at this store!! Or be smart like us and never go there for customer service again!! Ya, we got home and later realized we didn't get our change which got us first arguing that one of us had it or had lost it when in reality, he probably just didn't give it to us!! In seeing all the reviews, I see it is very clear that this particular branch really doesn't care about their image or the quality of services and it's sad!! Fred Meijer the owner is rolling in his grave at how far this company has gone since the quality back in the day, seriously SMH, people!! You see, this is what is becoming of American pride and the Greatness we used to be when people will even steal from someone getting cash back!! Ya, they have cams and security for themselves but they couldn't care less about the customer!! They let you report it and we did like earlier this month and they "said they would call" that's total BS!! Ya, we may have gotten screwed over of $50 once but you all will never get the chance again to do us! And you night shift workers, freaking have some heart and get motivation!! You have a job, be proud!! Don't work half ass at the end of your shift just so you can get home or go to your little clubs on Friday and Saturday!! Stay motivated until the very end!! I was That Kind of Employee and I was proud to be a worker but maybe I was a very small minority especially in today's standards!! It's sad!! Ya, hopefully you enjoyed squandering our money but just know, never again, you thieves!! And now everyone knows what kind of people you all are! And No, it's not called "Defamation of Character" if it's true, losers!!!

The store on alpine is the worst. Huge display of Family Sized boxes of cereal with signs all around it for 2.99. SCAMMING PEOPLE FOR 3 DAYS. ACTUALLY RINGING UP AT 5.59. When I went down took pictures of it ,manager was upset because I confronted him about it. Would not even go to the service desk with me to straighten it out. When up at service desk, a manager lady came up and said what do you want, I said I wanted my difference. She went back and me a really small box. I said thats not the one I purchased...she said well thats the one your going home with. Check your receipts from this store because they do this ALOT. BAD MANAGEMENT. 64 oz. Boxes out there, was suppose to be 16 oz.

Employee's are shit and have no respect for customers. For example two employees were yelling at each other and made me and my friends very uncomfortable. (One Big lady with glasses and short hair was the one screaming. So unnecessary. Do better.) we waited in the big lady's line for 15 mins and refused to check us out. (We had 3 items. Seriously!!!????) My friend said one of the employee's said he had smelly balls. He was immediately uncomfortable. Over all this place needs better management and the employees need there attitudes checked. Don't come here unless you wanna be creeped out.

Went to this location to buy some Spirts and boy is the manager of the liquor area a jerk. I always thought meijers was the best place to shop because of the customer service. I'll never go to the Dowtown meijers again. The checkout system for groceries is not friendly

This store is a joke. It's never stocked and the employees are rude. I hate this store. I've been forced to go here due to "convenience" but I can't stand stepping foot in there anymore. Will go elsewhere.

Dork on parade: I was jazzed about going here because Meijer started in the Grand Rapids area and because I have happy childhood memories of shopping here (we still use Dad's giant yellow corn pot). Wasn't part of the plan but I picked up a whole roasted chicken ($6), dinner rolls ($3) and sushi (who knew they had sushi?) ($12). The sushi was quite good. The chicken was, too, but that's hard to mess up. Only one bottle of soda water on the shelf. I don't mean one brand, I mean *one bottle*. I wandered through housewares but they didn't have what I needed. A very helpful lady walked me over to look for two items. Some of the clientele were of the mullet-and-mayhem variety but I don't hold that against Meijer. I've never seen/heard a person blasting a personal playlist at full volume on a phone while grocery shopping before, so let's put a positive spin on it and call that exposure to a new experience. The attendant at the self-scan check-out was very helpful and friendly. All prices scanned correctly. It's been a very long time since I've been in a Meijer so I can't compare this one to other stores. I was three-star satisfied with my visit.

Local is good. A large grocery store. One stop shop. Call a day ahead for the free prenatal vitamins b/c they will make you wait forever for them. Had to sit there with my sis and her newborn forever and ever.

Not very well stocked, and if you ask the staff for help, they get upset as if doing their job is some sort of inconvenience. The check out lines very rarely have enough people. But I will say I've seen improvement recently, and the management is nice and takes concerns seriously.

We frequent meijer for our weekly grocery shopping trips. We prefer to go to the standale location, but when we have other stops to make.....we usually end up at the alpine store. During our most recent trip, we experienced everything that normally makes us choose standale over alpine. Empty shelves everywhere, particulalry on sale items. The entire shredded cheese case was empty of the brand that was on sale. Not one single bag. This was the case for many items in the store, both sale and non sale items. (Grapes, broccoli, cauliflour, sparkling water, cheese to name just a few during this visit) When we were done shopping, the checkout lines were long and slow. To meijers defense, they had many lanes open....but service seemed slower than normal. Looking around at other shoppers, we could tell that everyone was feeling the same way. Overall, this is not our favorite location....but it works in a pinch.

It's an ok supermarket with a wide variety of stuff. Even live fish. Something I'm not familiar with in Europe. Although the variety is big, the food looks fresh and I can't compacte the prices I'm not a big fan. Had trouble funding stuff, missed things which is strange in such a big store. But for instance, they don't sell multi packages of Vitaminewater. And what I really HATE is that they don't help tourists out with coupons and stuff on sale. Had to pay the full price.

* Disgusting bathrooms * Trashy parking lot * Dirty floors and walls * Catering lowbrow

I was looking for a camping hammock, but couldn't find one. I flagged down an employee (I think named Shelby?) who helped me look, and even made a call to someone else to help us. She went above and beyond and was super kind. Come to find out, she normally works in the clothing department, AND she had already finished her day and was on the way home! Despite that, she STILL stayed to help me! Thank you! I also had a wonderful experience with a cashier named Lori, who helped me check out, and helped me try to figure out who had helped me earlier. Really great customer service, guys!

This Meijer is clean enough and has most stuff you need. There are some good friendly staff here. Though not all. Was in on Wednesday night May 18. I asked 3 people for help and got none. Seth was actually on his phone, while Ron C and Cat D were deep in conversation to the point where after I asked them for help three times they were not alerted enough to realize they were probably on the clock and that a guest was needing help. Loucinda was actually the most helpful. She was at the front door and assisted me with what I needed. Mikki was also very helpful. To the rest, I say, get a move on. Location is easy to get to and parking is a snap. Its pretty well stocked too.

As a new resident of Michigan I found that Meijer (in general) is a pretty awesome store. I'm sure some would compare it to other big box stores, but anything that changes my perception as much as they have deserves a good review. I'm new to the whole "return the can" game so the first time I came in to play I decided to wander around afterwards. Not only did I get to pick up all my replacement beverages but getting money back on top of it? Count me in! Their prices are really good compared to some of the other stores like it around town, and conveniences like self checkouts and great selection of lactose free items makes the extra $0.50 on some items TOTALLY worth it. I never have to ask where anything is located, but always have some help if I need it. Their pharmacy is always nice, neat, and organized. Very fast and efficient. Go there, you will not be let down.

Last night, Wednesday, October 4 I was shopping at the Meijer located on Alpine with my three children, ages, 7, 4, and 4 months! As we were leaving the store, we were stopped by the greeter John J. He asked if he could see my receipt for the items that I purchased, I accidentally handed him the wrong receipt. He snapped instantly and said, "I don't see the chips on this receipt." I looked at the receipt and replied, "I'm sorry sir, I accidentally handed you the wrong receipt."I then provided him with the correct one. Next, he literally checked every item on my receipt, and in my shopping cart to ensure every item was accounted for. He held me almost hostage for more than 20 minutes and did not attempt to stop and check any other patron! So when I asked him why he stopped me, he responded, "I'm stopping everyone." I responded, "No you're not. Ten people have walked by to exit the store and you haven't said anything to them." So I asked if I could speak to his manager. The manager, Amy K, came to address me, and I told her what happened. Her response was unnerving too. She said, "He stops who he feels he needs to stop." I asked her, "What do you mean, he stops who he feels he needs to stop?" "Did you all think I was stealing, or is it because I'm a young black woman with three children." At that point, I asked to speak to the supervisor, Michelle P. She came and introduced herself, and I explained to her what happened. She said to me, "Well he randomly stops people, sorry if you feel targeted but there's nothing I can do, and you can feel free to leave the store at anytime." At that point, I stood there and waited to see how many people he would stop, he said something to a guy who had an open box in his cart, the supervisor Michelle P, told him it was the maintenance man, and he could go. He also stopped a woman walking out with a cooler, he glanced at her receipt and let her go. I left after the supervisor Michelle P, told John J, "If she doesn't leave, I'm going to call the cops." Not one time did he stop anyone else with just regular groceries in their cart, which is all I had. I felt humiliated, and I'm traumatized by the event that had taken place. It was tantamount to a stop and frisk. I've never been in a situation like that. My 7 year old daughter is traumatized. After we got in the car, she asked me, "Mom why did that guy only stop us, I thought he was trying to take you to jail, I was scared, I never want to go to Meijer again, she said." The whole experience was extremely embarrassing. It had taken place in front of several shoppers and they stopped and gazed and I'm sure they assumed I had gotten caught stealing.

This location is utter crap. Tried to call the pharmacy. disconnected 3 times. The 2 I got thru I waited about 10 minutes for someone to answer and they just hung up both times. Then when I got to the store I waited almost 10 minutes for them to tell me they didn't have the medication in stock. Took almost 20 minutes to get thru checkout after picking up a few things. I've had more enjoyable experiences having a root canal done.

Love the stores, some are better than others. They all seem to have the problem with when it comes to checking out. It takes FOREVER!!

Here we are at the alpine meijer at 10:30am the day after Christmas . As we wait in a customer service line for returns . You would think they would have all lines running under the circumstances . But they didn't of course and the line had at least 20+ people waiting. Funny at the same time there are at least 5 checkout cashiers standing around doing nothing. Great customer service meijer

You know that scene in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion when one of them applies for the job at the dollar store? It's kind of like that. Worst shopping experience of my life. I think all of the crazy hill folk come here to shop. I know that sounds mean, but you'll understand if you go there. I was about to have some kind of breakdown by the end of it.

Had to use the rest-room last night. The men's bathroom toilet was drowned in piss and there was urine all over the floor. It was completely disgusting for a business restroom. I would expect this at a port-a-potty at a music festival, but not a grocery store.

Use this location all the time. Always fully stocked with items I need. Staff is always friendly and helpful when I ask for help. Gotta love the .01 sandy rides for the kiddos too.

for the most part, i really like meijer stores. but this location is from hades. i made the mistake of going at about 5pm on a weekday in july, and it was a sea of sunburned, tank-topped, dirty looking people buying economy sized sodas and frozen dinners and whatever else, screaming at their zillions of children running around; all this is done while they were having really loud conversations on those horrible nextel walkie-talkie phones that chirps every eight seconds. felt like i was having a panic attack the whole time i was there. highly recommend stearing clear of the alpine location. visit the beltline (cascade?) store instead.

I typically shop at Meijer but do my best to avoid this location. Its always very busy, understaffed and the clientele are less than stellar.

This Meijer is constantly backed up with its check out lines. Either they are under staffed during peak hours, or do not know how to staff during peak hours. I've watched individuals leave their cart of groceries and walk out because the wait gets to be too long. Who can blame them, no one wants melted ice cream or warm milk before they even leave the store. Knapps Corner Meijer seems to have it right.

The pharmacy at this location is a joke. The last 3 times I have attempted to use it have ended terribly. They have been out of my medication, and didn't let me know until after I waited an hour for them to fill it (usually they check 1st to see if they have it in stock before telling you how long it will take to fill), another time, my pain medication was actually shorted 5 pills!! The most recent visit, it was around midnight, not a single car around but mine in their newly renovated 3 lane drive through, I pushed the help button and 5 minutes later someone says they will be with me as soon as they can.....12 minutes later I see employees just milling about, I'm pretty sure they forgot i was even out there, so i said screw it and left. How are they going to handle 3 lanes of cars when they can't even service a single car?!!

This Meijer is ok. Seems legit. The employees seem like walking zombies. Lol. But its ok. Not a bad store.

This meijer never has enough check out lines open. I often wait in line 30-40 minutes no matter the time of day. It takes longer to check out than it does to shop for a cart full of groceries.

I have been shopping the Alpine Ave. Meijer for 20 years. Out of all the all the Meijer stores this one is my favorite. From the fall of 2007 though spring 2008 the Alpine store received a sixteen million dollar renovation upgrading the store to Meijer's latest store format. Included in the renovation was a total rework of the grocery section upgrading its aisles from 13 to 18, an enlarged produce section, the addition of a drive up pharmacy, new garden center, and a 20,000 sq. ft. addition on the retail side of the building. I liked shopping the Alpine store very much. But after its remodel I like it even more. The retail offerings are on par with other newly built Meijer stores and better than the new Wally World down the street. However if you are looking for a great supermarket than the Alpine stores grocery section is it. Even though the Standale meijer is closer to me and is handly for quick trips for milk and snacks, I prefer the Alpine location esp. when doing the big shopping sessions on payday. As for the previous two reviews, I certainly do not find them helpful. Stores should not be judged by the aesthetic appearance of it customer base. A customer is a customer as long as he/she has the money to pay for the things purchased. The day Meijer turns away customers for not looking like fashion models is the day I stop shopping at there.

Store is well organized, earned 12 bucks off this month with mperks. Jacob is a great cashier there quick, polite, and always friendly.

I love Meijer, but this one is horrible. literally every time I have gone here they charge me full price for products that are on sale. Just went through my most recent purchase receipt from this Meijer, they charged me $7 over for 4-5 products that were on sale. I keep having to go back and have them refund me. Not sure if it's a weird scam? Or if the employees are horrible and not putting in the proper sale prices in the computer. Make sure to look at your receipt!
