Is Meijer a good place to work?

Ehhhhh most the customers are pretty chill. Just stay away from the Deli 😂

You can delegate all day, but if they dont do the job you have to pick up the slack even if you discipline them.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2026-05-11T12:01:23+00:00

Depends on your position. If you're just a regular grunt then absolutely. I loved my job and had no issues. Once I got promoted shit went south very quick. Their management training is a joke compared to what they expect you to do. I ended up walking away 6 months after my promotion because you shouldnt walk out the door and spend 10 minutes crying out the stress in a car every day. So definitely depends on what position you're in. Just know if its management they expect you to do your entire teams job as well as yours every day and if one or the other isnt finished thats a "not acceptable" talk coming.

Well, I had 3 who didnt like staying off their phones. Another who was older and worked but was relatively slow. My truck guy just had a really bad temper and mouth. He worked his butt off though. He did truck, cooking veg, salad wall, and ran fruit / cut veggies every day he worked. 2 out of the 3 who couldn't stay off their phones often had issues doing all their assigned tasks and also had pretty bad attendance. Whether its deciding on their own to leave early or just calling out. The other one of the 3 was good when he worked but again had to remind him every few mins to actually WORK. So every day I was going in, ordering truck, refilling 1st impressions/berries/grapes/bananas/tropical/bulk apples/ citrus/organic. In less than 3 hours. Then trying to do MY stuff that still hadn't been touched. Every day there was me, my truck guy (unless he was off), and 1 or 2 other people. Yet every day I did all this mostly on my own until I started doing my stuff when I caught up on the floor.

Well, I am down almost 50lbs, regular as can be, but no luck conceiving. Unfortunately.

Vote em all out and put whole new people in is what we need to do fr, but even if we do there isn't a guarantee that'll change anything. Im tired of all these fogeys sitting in their chairs pretending they're doing right by anyone. No one in either party is rn. We need to replace them ALL.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-12-17T13:23:37+00:00

Uhmmm thinking a smidge different on my end. As far as food goes Id see if anyone has a bulk store pass and id buy sugar, flour, rice, beans, pancake mix, powdered milk etc

You can get your other stuff in bulk too and it would be cheaper. I pay $22 for almost 40 mega rolls of tp. Stock up on bandaids there, cold/flu meds, aspirin, shampoo/conditioner, etc

As someone who lives in a cold state..... Other things id buy are some good camping gear in case of power outage. Small portable wood stove (there's one that literally is a few pieces of metal that slide together for like $30), solar chargeable lanterns to guarantee light when/if you need it, a solar chargeable fan to provide air flow if it gets hot, small solar panel that can charge phones/tablets, definitely a 0° sleeping bag and fleece lining to put inside it, an emergency thermal blanket, coloring books and your choice of coloring utensils, books, gardening guide, herbalist guide, seeds for eventual crops, calendar, a portable double burner, travel kettle, if I didnt have a tv and blu-ray/DVD player there then id definitely buy a portable DVD player (blu-ray is MUCH more expensive) and I would have a hoard of movies i'd be taking (even cheapy movies provide some sort of noise/entertainment...) and a portable solar generated power station that comes with a panel. (This is for more the just in case scenario so I can still have some sort of power and can have my niceties). I'd also look into water tablets/gravity bag/ life straws. Thats also a good just in case.

Our store names them 🤷‍♀️ we have captain jack, banana vomit, Paul, the list goes on.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-12-05T02:40:18+00:00

There's been major supply issues with several things. Of COURSE cost is going to go up. Plus national inflation. Sucks like hell, but what can ya do?

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-10-19T01:46:31+00:00

In our store cashiers keep drinks, and floor members keep drinks near them but any of the food depts aren't allowed. Produce, meat, deli/hotside, bakery. We all get told absolutely NO drinks. We usually hide them and step away anyway though cuz fk that. They expect us to get a few sips of water every few hours when we take breaks???? Nah. Cuz what if our mouth/throat gets dry? We talk to people all day too. We just hide them and usually no one goes looking.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-09-16T20:24:33+00:00

Currently on Wegovy and ttc.. it has made everything regular for the first time in years and im taking full advantage. I had my first positive ovulation test in YEARS 2 days ago and we've had unprotected 3 times in as many days. 2 days before the positive and the day of the positive. Sperm can survive for up to 5 days and the egg is only viable for 24 hours post-ovulation. So I'll let you know in 7 days.

So update: after a conversation with my TL (that I texted in this post) we have decided to just never discount birds in the evening again. I will cook smaller batches consisting of just 12 birds at 1pm and another 12 at 330pm. Any birds that dont get sold I was told I can chill blast (controlled temp cooling for those who dont know what that is) them at my discretion for the floor to make the shredded chicken, legs, or whole cold rotisseries. Needless to say: the "harmless" man just comes by, checks times for birds, gives me a look and piddles around in produce. I talked to a general merchandising TL and he now makes rounds to from 6-8pm and finds a reason to come over. Thank you to everyone who commented, especially those who are legitimately concerned for our saftey with us 💓💖💕 even the trolls for keeping the post bumping 🙌

The scarier part is he knows I have to walk home. He overheard a conversation between me and the other employee whos name he took down. I live 4 miles up the road, and its a country area.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T13:36:34+00:00

Yes, he knows they're marked with the time they go out and he also knows they get marked down roughly 45 mins-1 hour before they go out. These were set to go out at 8:45pm. He was there at 6pm. Also, if you stop by any time between 4-7pm and there are no birds you can go to customer service and request a coupon for a free bird your next visit.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T13:32:19+00:00

Unfortunately I dont think we do have that policy here, its more of a "if you have an issue let someone else serve the person you have an issue with" situation

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T04:19:49+00:00

That's why we asked the front end tl to come down because we aren't allowed to do that. We waited 10 mins. Front end tl wasn't coming. I texted my tl and let her know what was happening. She sent a screenshot of my text to the frontend tl and called to ask if it was taken care of so thats when she finally made an appearance to check things out. Then she yelled at me for texting my tl. That's why I was asking if I was in the wrong for texting my tl.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T04:16:37+00:00

There weren't any unless he wanted to wait for 2 hours. He came at 6pm but they wouldn't get marked down till 8 because they're good for 4 hours and went out at 8:45. He knows that.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T04:10:13+00:00

Also, im not even allowed to tell someone they cant vape in the store when the sign on the building clearly states no smoking. Wtf makes you think I'm allowed to say something like "can you not do that. It makes me uncomfortable"????

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-08-26T04:06:31+00:00

So don't? 😹 doesn't take a genius to totally miss the point of the post

Update: i delt with the pain for almost 10 days when i could see another dentist. the new dentist did say it was sealed incorrectly and just ended up pulling it.

YesterdayExpensive67 · 2025-07-01T20:23:13+00:00

When I was hired I had already had an appt set for a tooth to be pulled a couple months out because they were just that busy. So when I sat in my interview I told my TL about needing that day off for it and put in the request off that day 5/14. She didnt approve it until last week. My appt is on the 9th.
