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. > [The arrogance and stupidity of these Meijer cops is truly amazing.

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.... -- --------pprior@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu----(614) 621-8240---------------- Paul A.
