A respectable store director would never discuss this with floor employees. So very unprofessional and seems to lower's morale quite quickly.
maybe at one point in time I wasn't just a "floor employee"

Do you work for Meijer Solace?
I understood that Meijer built their stores with cash. Were the newer stores built with borrowed money?
I did for quite some time. I'm not exactly sure how they used to build them, but I"m pretty sure now that they borrow money, because of one store that I worked at the store director would always joke about how, after many extrensive remodels, we were always in the red. I know the mortgage at Kzoo is paid for though, so that's how it actually makes money...not much, but it really does!

It is sad though that everytime I shop there (which I do a lot since I live in Alger Heights) I get the feeling that the folks at the corporate HQ seems to have washed their hands of it... The average wait for checkout is 20 minutes (no joke!) because they only staff like three cashiers at the entire store. I once asked the employee at checkout what was going on and she explained that the union only allows a certain amount of hours total so those employees' hours are saved for the more, how shall we say, homogenous Meijer Stores.
It really makes me sad...

you can buy 50 items as long as it ALL fits on the scale. Now I don't recommend doing that unless you really want the people behind you to get very angry
I know better than to say TOO much or to give out numbers/names/forbidden info. I still have siblings that work there and I would never put their jobs in jeopardy. But it's nice to have the duct tape removed from my mouth and being able to FINALLY speak freely!!!!
