On June 21 we went in to ************** *************** ******* meijer location. We paid $226 worth of groceries. It said our card declined but we ran in through credit and it was fine. We realized they took the amount out twice. When we called the store they said to come to customer service, we did that the manager was very rude and said there is nothing she can do we have to call a different phone number. When we did the the lady said it was the store job to give us our money back. Needless to say we are still out of money and we have bills coming up. No one we help and all we are doing is getting the run around from the store and customer service number.Business Response

******** on wednesday i went to Meijers and spent 2 hrs selecting items. Got to the register and the cashier rang ****** up. I put in my debit card and she said it did not work. So i tryed it again..still did not work. At that time i pulled out my charge card..then that didn.t work due to Meijers system. So we were drugged to the service desk (im 78 yrs old and my legs are aching) after all this we were instructed to try the first debit card..still was told..not working. So i tryed our other debit card (same bank& account) and it finally took. On our way home my husband checked the bank to see if we were charged more than once. Well....yes it was charged 3 times for the same order. The manager was rude. Would not refund us. Said corperate office has to resolve it.i will take a few days! Im upset!!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
The pharmacy manager has been very unprofessional in calling my doctor and slander me by saying I have threatened her and all other pharmacy in the area. Inhave statements.from all pharmacy in stating that they have never talk to ***** and that I need to get a lawyer because she has no release in talk to my doctor because the relationship was terminated also I have statements from the safety manager from my job in which he heard her threatened me in stating she won't let.me get my prescription filled. ******* legal team investigate and found that ***** was told ******* pharmacy they are not aloud to fill my scripts and they have the recording of the call. Also Amazon pharmacy has documentation that she tried to get them transferred back. Meijer refuses to stop their manager from doing this and is not being investigating for harassment and stalking .

I filled an insulin prescription with Meijer Pharmacy on 2/26/23, but the pharmacist refused to accept my GoodRx coupon. I didn't know what to do about it at the time and I needed insulin, so I just paid the price they asked for. I've since learned that the pharmacies are contractually obligated to honor the prices on GoodRx. I've attached the current GoodRx coupon for my prescription, although I believe the price when I made the purchase was closer to $85. Initially the pharmacist tried to charge me over $300 for the prescription, but I did manage to get the price down to $273.47. I've also attached the screenshot of this purchase price from the website, but it won't let me pull up the pdf of the receipt. I can provide more information about the prescription on request if they need to confirm the purchase in their system. I would like a refund of the amount that was overcharged, as well as an apology for overcharging patients for lifesaving drugs.Business Response

I ordered from Meijer.com for a grocery delivery, I never received my order. I spent over a phone back and forth trying to get a refund on order #********* and then told it was under investigation because the picture they had was the same as the picture from a previous order. 1. All of the apartment building around be have different outside numbers but the inside is set up the same from apartments 1 through 8. I tried to explain this and they argued with me and did not give me a refund. They were rude, kept me on hold after getting transferred three times to the wrong people to get no answer. I cannot even reorder the groceries because everything I had on my EBT card was mainly used for these groceries, so now my kids and I have to struggle to make meals because we have no groceries. They made me feel horrible and like I was a liar and had no empathy for my situation. I am sitting here crying because I do not know how to feed my kids now. I use deliver because right now I cannot medically drive.Business Response

5/21/23 at Store 147 Purchased Amazon kids fire 7 for $109.99 Upon arriving home and unpackaging the device, I found it was unresponsive to touch. The device powered on and that was the extent of usage prior to repacking and placing the item back in my car.5/22/23 I returned with the receipt and the device, explained the screen was unresponsive and I wanted to return the item. The store manager, took the device out of the package, inspected it, verified the screen was unresponsive and then stated they could not return it per store policy. I stated that was an amazon tablet that comes with a 2 year worry free guarantee. Amazon guarantees the product and if you're not 100% satisfied you can exchange or return the item for a full refund during the first 2 years. He said he didn't believe me and I responded with you'll learn something today. He was immediately offended by my response. At my request, he phoned the district supervisor, ********?* While in front of me and on the phone he mocked our conversation to ******** and eventually asked her if this was going to be a one time approval for quality service to a customer or was this the policy, reiterating my comment that "he would learn something". Shortly thereafter he ended their call and advised he would not return/refund the item due to it being opened but they would exchange it. I have limited space but total lack of professionalism this day from both managers. ******** advised more product would be in on 5/28/23.For the next 2 wks I called daily, stopped in weekly and the item has been out of stock. 6-6-23 Phoned store, MGR. ***** (******** out of town), item still out of stock. Advised he would put in a (2nd request) for market director **** to contact me. Initial request w/******** on 5/22/23. Meijer is an authorized reseller of the amazon kids tablet, they should honor the warranty. I no longer trust Meijer or this items availability in their stores. Their professional conduct was a disappointment.Business Response

06/6/2023 Ordered online with the app for pickup. When I arrive to pickup the order I am told my credit card was declined clearly a them issue since the app was also broken and I used the card earlier and again after this visit and the authorization from them is still sitting on the card as I type this. So a girl comes to the car asks if I have a different card. I give her a different card. At no time was I informed that this order would be changed from an online order to a in store order and that the only way to rectify any issues would be to got to the store to the service desk. Had I been informed of this I would have cancelled the order. So she takes my card comes back with my thing and gives me a receipt which was charged in two orders because of a mistake. She assures me I was not over charged or charged twice so I went home wihtout really examining it as I had ice cream melting from the other store which I used the same card they said was declined at. because I had been waiting 30+ mins for them to resolve their issues. I get home check the receipt I see I was charged for items I cancelled as they were unacceptable substitutions and over charged for other items. They will not solve this issue for me over the phone say I have to come to the store. The reason I order online is that I can hardly walk I cannot come into the store. I want a refund for the items I did not receive and for the overcharge or I will dispute the charges. The amount owed to me is ***** That is the overcharged and the charge for items not received plus sales tax. I want that amount refunded to me. They can refund it or my CC company will. I am not paying for things I did not receive.Business Response

On 6/5/23 at approximately 13:49:23, I purchased four $20 Battlenet Blizzard gift cards. I didnt realize at the time, but I had been wrongfully charged sales tax on these gift cards. I realized after redeeming them on Battlenet and tried to make a purchase, only to be taxed again that something was awry. I called Meijer **************** at 3:31 and told them that I needed to talk to the manager, I explained to them that I had been charged tax on a gift card, but that they should not have been taxed. They refused to connect me to any manager, stating that I would have to try to sort it out with the girl in charge of the gift cards. I spent approximately 14 minutes on the line, hearing the call being bounced around their call center. Finally someone answered, she stated that she wasnt even from that store, and that she was in charge of internet sales. I explained to her what had happened, and she asked me to wait and then hung up on me. I didn't know at the time of purchase that there are federal laws preventing businesses from charging tax on gift card purchases.Business Response
