Fred Meyer is a pioneer of one-stop shopping, combining a grocery supermarket with a drugstore, clothing, home improvement, garden, electronics, and more under one roof. Reviews describe it as a great place with great people, where the staff is always kind, helpful, and welcoming, providing great and amazing customer service. However, other experiences report it as an entirely unpleasant shopping experience. Criticisms note the store is always messy, lacks the variety of other locations, and has messed up carts that are never available. The presence of security personnel is a significant point of contention, described as annoying, combative, and leading to feelings of being interrogated, with some customers wishing to leave in peace without confrontation.
