story about meijer incident deleted ...

Meijer is the worst department store I have ever seen in my life.
I will NEVER ever shop there because I have been defrauded almost
every time I go in there by their "flaky" registers charging me 
more than the price or by double charging me.  I think that it is
store policy or that the registers are rigged to double charge a
certain percentage of the time.

I had not heard about the Spangler incident - might you fill me in?

Also, though I am certainly no fan of spurious litigation, if a customer
really had his neck broken by the rent-a-cops at Meijers and is pressing
charges/lawsuit, I would consider forwarding your story to them as wel
as it might help their case....
