| | | OK, I guess I should have gave some more information. This is from Meijer, a huge retail chain in the Midwest mostly: (URL) I work there part time as my second job, and one of the big sellers of Meijer is that they have these mechanical horses near (...)

| | | | | Wow, that's the Meijer I visit sometimes on my lunch hour. Scott, if you see a 6'3'' brown haired guy (with goatee type beard) shaking his head in disbelief in the LEGO aisle, that will probably be me. But since it's not your primary job, you're (...)

| | | | | | Gary, Hmm.. I go there once in awhile during lunch, but I am there at night pushing carts. It's the most no contact with the customers (guests in Meijer corporate lingo) job you can get in retail, and for 7 something an hour, it is not too bad. (...)

| | | | | Well, Meijer is in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. The rust belt, some call it. I have always heard it was the midwest, or Great Lakes region. Whatever! :) Scott Sanburn (...) (25 years ago, 30-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

I've never seen any Meijers around Cleveland, but there is a brand new Ames nearby, near a Target, Super K, TRU, etc. However, all those stores are about a half hour from my (...)
