Fred Meyer
Reviews
The people who work at Fred Meyer are wonderful. However, the signage is atricious. Signs at one end of each aisle do not post what is available down the entire aisle, so a customer has to stroll around the store and look down each aisle to find something. Also, signs are inaccurate, i.e. "Frozen Entrees" is where the ice cream is. There are other discrepancies too, since there are too few entries on each sign. Please also add smaller signs over each section down each aisle. Also, when you change the store around (which is very disconcerting after I finally know where things are), please change the signs too!
This is specifically towards the Photo Department. Do not use this service if you are in a hurry to get your pictures. They say "third time's a charm". Well, it took me four times. Their machine has been broken down more times than it should. I only have two places to choose from in Sandy to have pictures printed. You spend your time choosing and editing your pictures and then sending them off. You go to the store only to find the machine was broke down. Twice I sent off my pictures the day before thinking I'd pick them up on my way out of town, only to find there were no pictures. I didn't even get a phone call stating the machine was broken. Last night I went to the store to do my pictures there and sure enough the machine was down again. This morning, I called to see if the machine was up and running. I was, so I hurried and sent my pictures off. My husband was in the store so he went by the Photo department to see if they were ready. Not ready yet, but they had received them. About an hour later I got a phone call from Fred Meyer saying the pictures had brown spots on them. The machine was down again. It's no surprise when I went to Walgreens and was told lots of people come there complaining about Fred Meyers photo machine. Do not use this place unless you are willing to redo your order. Fred Meyer you need to purchase a new machine.

Fred Meyers is the only place to shop! I get just about everything I need in one place. Prices are very reasonable for the quality. If you want cheaper and lesser quality, go to Walmart or Target. Groceries are always stocked, and foods are always fresh and presented well. Jewelry department was very helpful during Christmas time when buying gifts (and of course having to return or exchange gifts). Pharmacy is always friendly, quick and efficient... even when they are busy.
Our favorite store. We have shopped here for years now. When we need anything this the place we go. Clean friendly and well stocked we pass the overpriced Thriftway and the perpetually understaffed Safeway to go here. It's truly one stop for everything.
