Meijer Omdömen 

this company had someone arrested over chicken and fruit cups instead of just giving the kid a verbal warning!

Corporate greed, do the right thing.

Cheap ass bastards. Multi billion dollar company, crying over some fruit cups. There were other ways to go about this situation, instead of embarrassing this young man. I pray your business goes busted.

Terrible big chain company. Arrested a minor with disabilities cus he couldn’t afford lunch and ate there fruit cups. Like are u serious??

Disgusting 🤢 you don’t even deserve a star

Dispicable management. I used to work for walmart if a grown adult ate food they fired them. they didnt wait until they could arrest them let alone a teen. I will never shop there again.

The customer service i got was so horrible... staff were mean, they even yelled at a 16 year old kid at one point.

They seem to have no moral or ethics.... That poor kid were only taking something out of the trashcan that he lost, but they were all over him...

Such a shame, to the people who were doing harm, please take a look in the mirror.

Yall are a pathetic bunch of inhumane people arrest a 16yo for taking a damn fruit cup that was being thrown away sad excuse of a store I hope yall loose all of your clients and go broke bastards

Just for a fruit cups, they put him in jail over a FRUIT CUP WORTH $1, and also manager likes to lick ass of the boss.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The story out of this store and how they treat people is nothing short of disgusting. A disabled teenager, hungry and doing his best to hold down a job, was seen taking discarded fruit cups from the trash. Instead of offering compassion or even addressing it like a human being, management watched him do this day after day until the value “added up” enough to press charges. Think about that: rather than show kindness, they set a trap for a vulnerable kid.

This isn’t about theft, this is about cruelty, negligence, and an utter lack of humanity. No decent company should allow managers to criminalize a hungry special-needs teen for eating food that was being thrown away anyway. Shame on Meijer. You’ve lost my respect, my business, and hopefully the business of anyone else who believes people deserve dignity.

In stead of arresting that young man your company should have had some compassion and allow your employee to have a meal because obviously he was HUNGRY!!!! And a child at that!! SMH To have him arrested instead of talking to him and finding out what the issue was is insane! Obviously the young man was hungry and a company that makes billions should have allowed that young man an employee meal while on the clock! This is unacceptable and sickening to say the least!!!

Fruit cups and chicken

Horrible ableist company that arrested a disabled man because he was hungry.

Do the right thing and drop charges.

If I could leave this place zero Stars I would these people have some kind of gall

You guys need to make it right, what happened to James is unacceptable.

Awesome job to the staff and management at Meijers you handled the situation well concerning a little thief. we need to stop people like this thinking they can get away with stealing. again, thank you for a job well done throw the book at the little crook very well handled

Meijer, a massive grocery chain, made a disgraceful choice: they had a 16-year-old boy arrested for eating what was reportedly a throw-away fruit cup. Think about that for a moment. Not a robbery, not violence just a hungry teenager eating food the store had already decided to toss.

Every day, grocery stores discard mountains of unsold food. Employees see the waste while barely making enough to buy lunch. Instead of addressing this reality with compassion, Meijer turned to handcuffs. They treated a minor like a criminal for a plastic cup of fruit. That’s not policy it’s punishment without perspective.

Yes, rules matter. But leadership is about proportion. A manager could have warned him, written him up, or even fired him if it continued. That would have been a fair response. Instead, they chose the nuclear option: call the police. At sixteen, that boy now carries an arrest record over something as trivial as discarded produce. That is not accountability; it is cruelty.

The irony is unbearable: Meijer would rather throw food into the dumpster than let a hungry kid eat it. By criminalizing a harmless mistake, they’ve shown what they truly value: not community, not compassion, but rigid enforcement and corporate pride.

This wasn’t about protecting profits. It wasn’t about preventing loss. It was about making an example of a teenager who posed no threat. And in doing so, Meijer revealed just how cold and thoughtless its leadership really is.

Over a fruit cup, a billion-dollar company chose humiliation, punishment, and police involvement. That says everything about Meijer’s priorities and none of it is good.
