I've always had a Meijers near where I live and never had a problem with them. I prefer Krogers but Meijers would be my 2nd choice.
I did retail merchandising for a while with all of the groceries around the area so I frequented all of them quite a bit and got to know the people etc. The Meijers that is competing with Walmart about 20 mins away has a better atmosphere and is a nicer experience to shop at. I think it's a combination of different things...
The store seems to move at a slower pace between employees taking their time and being available compared to running around like chickens with their heads cut off helps. Customers don't seem to be in such a hurry as well idk why. Walmart is usually more chaotic.
Compared to the competing Walmart it's cleaner and doesn't attract as shady looking people. Part of that has to do with location one is kind of tucked away and the other is right on the main strip of road.
I avoid buying meat at Walmart. I think their steaks are frankenmeat and I also suspect they might fill their meat with water and or dye. I get most of my meat from a local market though anyways.
What's kind of funny is the other Walmart 30 mins in the other direction is a lot more like the Meijers I've been mentioning minus the meat complaints.
