Among other things, they specialized in ignoring consultant's invoices for at least 60 days, sometimes longer, then offering cents on the dollar as a settlement for what they owed. Prime POS, they are.

As for Meijers, best produce in my area. I split the rest of my grocery shopping between Krogers and Remkes, except for when local farmer's markets start up seasonally.

Some of it has to do with exactly what wildcats refers to in his post.  Also, we took steaks to Bristol one year from Walmart, and a 3 hour trip back home turned into 6....we couldn't pass a bathroom.  Imodium would not stop it, we even stopped up the road and got cheese pizza with extra cheese to try and plug it....nothing. The four of us got sick, the rest of the campsite we met at the track did not get steaks from Walmart, and did not shit their guts out.  

Without getting too much into PnR, they encourage their mgmt team to persuade employees to use government funded healthcare, childcare, and other assistance.  They cut hours to avoid full time bennies....they broker ridiculous tax breaks and subsidies to move into your town and run the mom and pops out of business.  I figure if they're gonna use my tax money to actively subsidize their employees and their cost of doing business, I'm not going to voluntarily give them more money.
