Washer fluid, flip flops on sale, fresh hot fried chicken, tasteful curtains, local-ish produce and wine, and even champagne. Fred Meyer probably has it all, and much of it with sale signs. We were surprised to find a giant Costco-size warehouse hiding behind a small-ish vintage supermarket facade, so it had that wizard of world illusion of being larger inside. We managed to check off the whole shopping list. It was easy to find this store off 101, and we managed to squeeze our RV into the back of the parking lot for a picnic lunch. The store staff were friendly, and there weren't a ridiculous amount of carts left outside. I think this store has it all. I'd come back.

For the most part the store clerks are nice polite and attentive. I used to shop at Fred Meyer often but not so much anymore. I am in my older age now so I find dealing with their constant policy changes tedious and annoying. The latest requirement is for them to scan my drivers licence. There is no way anybody can mistake me for under 21. Aside from feeling harassed I don't want them to have all my information which they will sell along with my shopping habits and preferences. As a result I no longer buy any beer or wine at this store . At the gas station if paying with cash they want you to prepay . That would be fine if I didn't have to wait until the attendant finds the cashier to hand him the money before he can even start pumping. Then repeat the whole thing to get any change. Safeway across the street gives you gas rebates and they don't harass or inconvenience their customers. I hope they pull it together because there are many more other stores to shop.

I visited Fred Meyer the other day to get a simple bottle of wine. When I checked out at the register, the cashier told me that I had to take out my driver's license and present the BACK side as well as the front, to complete the purchase. I had a stroke recently and was not able to easily do this, and I finally left the wine behind and completed my purchase. Later, I checked the store to verify what I had experienced - it is their new policy. The assistant told me there is a new sign that states that. I'm not impressed. I've found no place else in Coos Bay that has that policy. Nobody. It's more trouble for me to shop at Fred Meyer than it used to be, and quite frankly their now policy is a pain in the ass that exhibits no useful purpose . That said, I'm moving to Walmart and leaving Fred Meyer behind for good. I don't want or need the aggravation I'm getting from Fred Meyer now. So long, boys.

I ordered a cake for my husbands birthday. I named it the white poop cake. Ugliest cake I've ever seen. It was supposed to be clouds and sky. The sky was too dark and the clouds looked like poop piles all for the wonderful price of 34.99. I was beyond angry but with only 2 hours before his party I was stuck with it
