Indeed, Meijer started in the 20's or something. (A Meijer
employee who doesn't rememer the history, sheesh!)

I would have to agree. It is all right, but I am more
inclined to support Meijer since it did start in Michigan.
I have always liked Meijer's selection of LEGO, for
instance. : )

I do as well, although there are now Walmart supercenters,
which do have a grocery. I saw one in South Bend, Indiana,
but not as many here in Michigan.

As a person who has worked and is working at Mejier right
now, I think it is a good place to be, if you like to work.
It is also a place where you can go up the ladder as well.
Our lovely union (The UFCW - United Fascists and Communist
Whiners Union (My definition) - really named the United Food
and Commerical Workers Union) says that is why it is better
than Walmart, but I think most people at Meijer care more,
from what I have seen. the UFCW ates Walmart with a passion,
namely because they are not in control of that yet. All of
this is my personal opinion, of course, based on working
there on and off since 1994, my college days.

You can ask for rain checks for the sale, but I don't know
if they offer Larry came through checks! ; )
